Overview
LMI is seeking a talented Classified Communications subject matter expert (SME) for space data transport in Colorado Springs, CO. The SME will be the go-to expert on all matters related to advanced communication systems, including waveform phenomenology and algorithms for Space Data Network (SDN). The role involves ensuring the accuracy of end-to-end space-to-ground communication details and supporting analytical studies to inform future satellite communications and data transport capabilities. The position requires strategic planning based on models, simulations, and technical analyses. At LMI, we reimagine the path from insight to outcome, combining over 60 years of federal expertise with innovation to accelerate mission success. We are recognized as a 2024 #BestPlacestoWork in the US, valuing a people-centered culture. This position requires an active Top Secret clearance with SCI eligibility.
Responsibilities
Support the Space Warfighting Analysis Center's (SWAC) Spectrum Warfare Program (SWP) in Colorado Springs, CO, to identify capabilities to fulfill USSF space imperatives. Responsibilities include:
Possess knowledge in command and control (C2), waveforms, digital signal processing, network translation, data transport, processing, storage, dissemination, and routing. Coordinate classified communications architecture recommendations informed by modeling, simulation, and analysis to articulate performance parameters at mission, capability, or system levels, and advocate for these to military and acquisition organizations. Recommend investment priorities and inform science and technology strategies. Capture and recommend dependencies, interdependencies, and opportunities across academia, commercial, civil, joint, intelligence, and allied organizations. Ensure force design requirements meet joint and warfighting scenarios. Interface with Service, Joint Staff, and USSF Field Commands. Support leveraging new technologies, trends, and best practices to enhance space capabilities. Apply advanced scientific principles to develop novel classified communication architectures. Assist in developing resilient communication architectures and conducting analytical and design optimization studies using physics-based modeling, simulation, and analysis tools. Interact with program managers, FFRDCs, external stakeholders to develop productive relationships.
Qualifications
Bachelor's in STEM with 10+ years or Master's with 8+ years of experience. Deep knowledge of space capabilities, including proliferated architectures, SATCOM, NC3, and advanced RF capabilities. Background in satellite communications, space-to-space, agile solutions, survivable planning, and modulation techniques. Strong understanding of RF design, waveforms, digital signal processing, network topology, protocols, software-defined radios, and antennas. Ability to work within integrated teams and independently, with excellent communication skills and willingness to travel occasionally. Active Top Secret security clearance; US citizenship required.
Desired
Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field. 15+ years of SATCOM operational planning and requirements development experience. Understanding of orbital mechanics, R&D using TRL/MRL, and strong technical leadership. Active Top Secret/SCI or SAP clearance.
