BMC3I Systems Engineer

Come be a part of a fast-paced, fulfilling and fun team in beautiful Colorado Springs, CO! Odyssey Systems is looking for high-performing, passionate people ready to make a difference by joining our existing team of dedicated professionals supporting Battle Management, Command, Control, Communication, and Space Intelligence (BMC3I).

We have an exciting new opportunity providing Advisory and Assistance Services (A&AS) supporting the US Space Force mission to defend National Security Interests in Space as a BMC3I Systems Engineer providing Engineering Support as a member of the Requirements and Engineering staff (S5) for the many program offices in Space Systems Command (SSC), System Delta 85 (SYD 85).

SYD 85 is the U.S. Space Force organization responsible for developing and delivering resilient space capabilities supporting Battle Management, Command, Control, Communication, and Space Intelligence (BMC3I). SYD 85 synchronizes acquisition efforts for critical space system capabilities and works together with Combat Forces Command (CFC) Mission Deltas to improve mission readiness.

The new SYD 85 contains three System Program Directors (SPDs), formerly known as Senior Materiel Leaders, corresponding to Battlespace Awareness, Battle Management, and Space Access & Networked Services. In addition to the SPDs, there is a direct report System Program Manager (SPM), formerly known as Materiel Leader, supporting Space Intelligence efforts within SSC's BMC3I portfolio. The SPDs and SPMs are focused on developing and fielding sensors, satellite control antennas, data systems, and software capabilities to counter adversary actions and threats in and through the space domain.

Odyssey Systems provides support to the Government in five areas: Product Support, Sustainment Engineering & Sustainment Management, Technical Order Management, Technical User Interface, and System Design, Engineering, and Integration. These tasks are executed laterally with USSF SSC/SZG depot and development contractors and with BMC3I stakeholders.
