What You Will Do

The ISR-7 Space Systems Assurance and Implementation group seeks a highly team-focused, strategically organized, and cross-functionally collaborative professional to support Los Alamos National Laboratory's Global Security (GS) missions. The diverse portfolios encompassed within GS programs feature advanced space flight payloads, innovative enabling technologies, and associated modeling and simulation capabilities. ISR-7 is one of several groups integral to product realization, where multi-disciplinary project teams with resources from multiple divisions, develop integrated space and remote-sensing systems from inception, design, and prototyping; through fabrication, assembly, test, and integration; to commissioning and operation.
