Role Description Qwaltec is seeking a Solutions Architect to lead the design and evolution of technical solutions for spacecraft Mission Operations Centers (MOCs), satellite ground systems, and antenna networks. This is a high-visibility role at the intersection of engineering, operations, and business growth. - Architect end-to-end solutions for spacecraft Mission Operations Centers, command and control (C2) ground systems, and antenna/ground station networks for government and commercial customers. - Translate customer mission operations and ground system requirements into solution architectures that effectively leverage the OrbitCmd powered by Leanspace software platform, products, and integration capabilities. - Serve as the senior technical voice in customer engagements by leading architecture discussions, technical exchanges, design reviews, and briefings with senior government and industry stakeholders. - Partner with business development and capture teams to qualify opportunities, shape win themes, and develop technical strategies for new and existing customers. - Author and review key technical volumes, white papers, capabilities briefs, and architecture artifacts in support of proposals and solicitation responses. - Develop reference architectures and system designs using industry and DoD frameworks (e.g., DODAF, MOSA) and modern development practices (Agile/DevOps). - Evaluate and integrate emerging technologies, including AI/ML-enabled tools and automation, into mission operations and ground system solutions. - Guide trade studies, requirements definition, interface analyses, and technical risk assessments for new missions and system upgrades. - Collaborate with Qwaltec program managers, engineers, and mission operators to ensure proposed solutions are executable, affordable, and aligned with company capabilities. - Mentor engineering staff and help mature Qwaltec's technical baseline, architecture standards, and solution development processes. - Represent Qwaltec at industry days, conferences, and networking events (e.g., USSF events, AFCEA, Space Symposium, Ground System Architectures Workshop). Qualifications - 15+ years of experience in defense and/or civil space programs spanning mission operations, ground systems engineering, and/or satellite command and control. - Demonstrated experience architecting or leading the design of Mission Operations Centers, satellite ground systems, and/or antenna network solutions. - Full lifecycle perspective across spacecraft console operations, ground system design, integration, test, and on-orbit support. - Experience supporting business development, capture, or proposal efforts, including authoring technical content for competitive solicitations. - Working knowledge of architecture frameworks and methodologies such as DODAF and MOSA, and familiarity with Agile/DevOps development environments. - Strong verbal and written communication skills; proven ability to engage credibly with senior government customers, acquisition professionals, and technical teams. - Familiarity with AI/ML concepts and AI-enabled tools and workflows as applied to mission operations, engineering, and business development. - U.S. Citizenship required; must be eligible to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance (candidates must be clearable). - Willingness to travel periodically to customer sites, industry events, and Qwaltec's Tempe, AZ headquarters. Preferred Qualifications - Active Top Secret (TS) or TS/SCI clearance strongly preferred. - Direct experience with USSF, NASA, and/or NOAA mission and ground architectures (e.g., SSC, Space Deltas, NASA mission operations, NOAA satellite ground enterprise). - Experience across multiple orbital regimes (LEO, MEO, GEO, HEO/cislunar) and program risk classes, from Class A missions to prototype and R&D efforts. - Prior roles as chief engineer, program manager, or capture manager on space or ground system programs. - Track record of authoring winning technical volumes for large ($100M+) solicitation responses. - Experience with RF/antenna systems, telemetry, tracking, and commanding (TT&C), and ground station operations and maintenance. - Formal training or certification in AI/ML, program management (PMP), or Agile methodologies (e.g., SAFe). - Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, physics, or a related technical field (advanced degree a plus, or equivalent combination of education and experience). Compensation and Benefits - Salary commensurate with experience, location, and clearance status. - Competitive benefits package. - Professional development support and training budget. - Opportunity to shape the technical direction of a mission-driven, women-owned small business at the forefront of space operations.
