Overview
Join to apply for the
Risk Management SME
role at
Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI) .
The "Golden Dome for America" initiative is a transformative program designed to enhance missile defense capabilities for North America. With its layered approach to intercepting and tracking threats—ranging from traditional ballistic missiles to advanced hypersonic weapons—the program is poised to address the increasingly sophisticated missile arsenals of China, Russia, North Korea, and potentially Iran in the coming decades. Its implementation marks a significant shift toward resilient, distributed, and proliferated space-based architectures as critical components of an integrated deterrence strategy.
Responsibilities
Develop and implement comprehensive risk management frameworks for space system programs, encompassing design, integration, testing, and operations.
Identify potential risks across technical, operational, financial, and programmatic domains, and prioritize them based on likelihood and impact.
Conduct quantitative and qualitative risk assessments, leveraging tools such as Monte Carlo simulations, risk matrices, and decision analysis frameworks.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop mitigation strategies and contingency plans for identified risks.
Monitor and track risks throughout the program lifecycle to ensure timely resolution and alignment with project timelines and budgets.
Present risk findings, management strategies, and mitigation plans to program leadership, government stakeholders, and contractors.
Facilitate risk assessment workshops and reviews with technical teams and program stakeholders.
Ensure compliance with government standards and regulations, including the DoD RMF and other agency-specific guidelines.
Provide expertise on cybersecurity risks, space domain threats, and adversarial scenarios impacting mission assurance and program success.
Support program-level decisions by providing data-driven insights into risk identification, ranking, and mitigation effectiveness.
Lead efforts to continuously improve risk management processes and integrate emerging tools and methodologies.
Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Risk Management, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Business Administration, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred).
