Job Title: Weapon System Requirement SME

Job Location: Arlington, VA - Hybrid Remote

Compensation: $180,000 - $210,000

Eligibility/Clearance: Candidate must possess an active TS/SCI clearance

Job Description:

Our client is seeking two senior Requirements Subject Matter Experts to

support a high-visibility U.S. Space Force (USSF) mission at the

Pentagon focused on weapon-system infrastructure and basing. This is

current, mission-critical work: the infrastructure and basing decisions

made in this role directly affect how quickly and reliably the Space

Force can field, sustain, and operate the systems the warfighter depends

on. You will work where programs meet installations, turning mission

needs and system architectures into the facility, site, and basing

requirements needed to bed down new capabilities. That includes site

activation and integration for space ground systems, strategic basing

actions, range and launch infrastructure planning, and facility

requirements documentation, including MILCON. You will also help shape

how those infrastructure requirements are prioritized and funded,

partnering with senior stakeholders across headquarters, program

offices, operational commands, and installation and base operating

support providers, including Base Operating Support-Integrator (BOS-I)

organizations. Ideal candidates bring space-domain credibility, hands-on

experience fielding systems at the installation level, and the judgment

to turn ambiguous, high-stakes problems into traceable, actionable

plans.

Key Responsibilities:

Lead site activation and installation integration planning for new space

system beddowns, coordinating facility, power, communications, security,

and mission support requirements with installation, civil engineering,

and BOS-I stakeholders.

Develop, prioritize, and document facility and construction requirements

tied to program fielding, and support the path to funding, including

MILCON

Support Air Force and Space Force strategic basing actions and range or

launch infrastructure planning, from site evaluation through basing

decision.

Lead the development, validation, prioritization, and traceability of

weapon-system infrastructure and basing requirements.

Translate mission concepts, system architectures, readiness needs, and

sustainment dependencies into actionable infrastructure requirements.

Assess infrastructure gaps, inform basing decisions, and guide

cross-functional teams through complex actions from definition to

resolution.

Facilitate senior-level working sessions and deliver clear,

decision-ready products while strengthening repeatable requirements

processes.

Required:

Bachelor's degree and eight or more years of relevant Federal Government

or Department of War experience in requirements development, capability

development, infrastructure planning, basing, or related mission

support.

Direct USSF, Air Force space, or national security space experience with

weapon or defense systems and their associated ground and infrastructure

dependencies.

Expertise in one or more Space Force mission areas: missile warning,

tracking, and missile defense; space domain awareness; military and

protected satellite communications; GPS/PNT; space control or

electromagnetic warfare; launch and range operations; or satellite

command and control and ground segments.

Hands-on experience in at least two of the following:

site activation or site integration for a space ground system;

installation integration for a new system beddown;

facility requirements tied to a program;

participation in Air Force or Space Force strategic basing actions;

or range or launch infrastructure planning.

Experience working directly with installation, civil engineering, or

base operating support organizations to define, prioritize, and resolve

infrastructure requirements for a new or changing mission.

Working knowledge of installation mission support functions (e.g., civil

engineering, security forces, communications, logistics readiness) and

how they enable a system at a host installation.

Ability to translate operational concepts, mission threads, system

interfaces, and threat-informed needs into prioritized, traceable

requirements.

Strong executive communication and facilitation skills across

headquarters, program, operational, installation, and industry

stakeholders.

Active TS/SCI clearance.

Preferred:

Current or prior Special Access Program (SAP) experience and program

qualification, access, or indoctrination.

Experience supporting HQ USSF, Space Systems Command, a Field Command, a

space program office, a Space Base Delta or installation supporting

system beddown, or comparable enterprise requirements work.

Experience developing facility requirements and MILCON project

documentation (e.g., DD Form 1391) or supporting facility requirements

through the programming and funding process.

Experience serving on or supporting a Site Activation Task Force (SATAF)

or similar beddown planning team.

Experience working with BOS-I or base operating support organizations,

such as a Space Base Delta, mission support group, or civil engineering

squadron.

Education:

Bachelors Degree in Computer Science or a related field
