Check out this NEW Opportunity with Axient!

Axeint is looking for an out-going, persuasive and effective facilitator between the Government activities in the Futures division of the USSF Space Systems Intgeration Office participating in the technology development to improve the number of successful technology plans and the eventual investments and projects that meet technology needs for Space Systems

What you will do...

• The candidate will work to support the Space Systems Command (SSC) Space Systems Integration Office (SSIO)in analysis of capability gaps or shortfalls and what technology need may be derived or evident in that problem area.

• The work products include the rationale, an approach to investigate or develop courses of actions as proposals the S&T community should address.

• This technical support includes engineering evaluation of technology performance (technical performance measures), the maturation timelines (the roadmap) and the criteria and mechanism to transition the technology to acquisition programs/sponsors.

• The candidate will conduct and support overall planning for technology management activities; support the management of US Space Force Science & Technology (S&T) within DAFI 61-101; work to establish and monitor Capability Collaboration Teams (CCTs); invigorate the transition planning processes; and work with the community to increase the transition of selected technology solutions.

• (The CCT is an integrated team of AFRL, SSC, and Space Operations Command (SpOC) representative which assess warfighter needs, derive the technology need, the potential solution path, the roadmap of development, investment, and transition into the acquisition process).

Responsibilities are categorized in three major tasks: technology “demand signal”identification; technology assessments; and technical support to solicitations and offerings.

• The Technology “Demand Signal”identificationis assessment of warfighter needs, shortfalls in space contributions to mission effects, pacing action needed against the threat and opportunities to leap ahead in capability. The demand signal for technologyis therefore related to these warfighter concerns and mission effects and derived as technical performance values, timeline when needed, how integrated into the existing and future architectures. The technology required (demand) can be decomposed into requirements that can be worked by formal 61-101 process S&T teams, evaluated by the architecture and enterprise solution teams, and thereby achieve a vetted consensus on possible approaches for investment.

• The technology assessment role is to quantify tech performance characteristics of technology solutions and opportunities. The candidate will aid in reviewing vendor proposals of the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II and Phase III efforts and the SBIR program’s counterpart, the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) process for opportunity and alignment to satisfy the 61-101 process technology needs (aka Book of Needs), the Integrated Tech Needs generated by SSIO evaluation of enterprise needs, needs from Warfighter shortfalls, CTIO or HHQ future S&T strategy needs.

• The Candidate will provide, when requested, experienced technical support to solicitations and offerings considered by the Commercial Space Office (SSC/COMSO) during SpaceWERX SBIR/STTR bi-annual solicitations. The effort requires recommendations and justifications which meet COMSO deadlines and that artifacts such as draft MOUs are managed and catalogued appropriately. Furthermore, the SSC Front Door activity generates potential opportunities that need tracking and routing to the 61-101 process Capability Collaboration teams (CCTs) as appropriate.

Skills you will need...

Required Experience

• Preferred knowledgeable of DoD acquisition processes (major capability acquisition, middle tier), technology maturation and risk reduction phases, knowledgeable of the DoD prototyping process and guidance, and of the AFRL technology maturation and development processes.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree + 10 years combined experience in industry, FFRDC, SETA, SE&I for space systems acquisition and operations

• Clearance at TS/SCI
