Position Description We are seeking a Chief Integrator to serve as the full-effort technical integration lead for a critical Satellite Control (Telemetry, Tracking, and Command - TT&C) mission capability. This role connects operational need, acquisition strategy, technical direction, architecture, prototype maturation, integration, test, cybersecurity, transition, fielding, and sustainment into one coherent path to mission delivery. The Chief Integrator works directly with Government executives, acquisition leaders, mission owners, and technical decision makers to frame consequential choices, identify the evidence needed for action, and drive timely resolution of cross-program issues. The role collaborates with a team of highly experienced subject-matter experts through technical direction, integration priorities, decision preparation, and issue resolution while preserving each expert's discipline authority and Government decision ownership. This is a senior individual-contributor position with no personnel-management or supervisory responsibility. Leadership is exercised through technical credibility, customer trust, disciplined integration, clear accountability for technical actions, and influence across organizations. Success means that separate projects, technologies, stakeholders, and delivery timelines converge into an integrated capability the warfighter can employ and sustain. Primary Responsibilities • Own technical integration effort. Maintain the end-to-end technical view across mission outcomes, architectures, projects, interfaces, data flows, infrastructure, cybersecurity, test, logistics, training, fielding, and sustainment; ensure area-level decisions remain coherent with the total mission solution. • Advise executive decision makers. Provide candid, evidence-based counsel to Government and company executives on technical feasibility, maturity, integration complexity, portfolio consequences, schedule realism, risk posture, and readiness for the next acquisition or transition decision. • Drive critical decisions. Frame the decision, identify accountable owners, define the minimum evidence needed, establish decision dates and exit criteria, expose unresolved assumptions, and carry actions through closure without displacing Government authority. • Lead the senior SME team. Set technical priorities and integration objectives for high-level specialists; organize focused working sessions and reviews; reconcile discipline-level recommendations; and synthesize expert evidence into one defensible enterprise position. • Shape executable technical direction. Translate Government-defined problems and objectives into Technical Direction Plan content that integrates scope, assumptions, gaps, risks, resources, schedule, cost, stakeholders, architecture, test and demonstration, security, and transition. • Converge independent programs. Build trusted relationships across program offices, operators, intelligence organizations, communications teams, acquisition professionals, developers, testers, cybersecurity teams, logisticians, suppliers, and mission partners; influence programs to accelerate, resequence, narrow, pause, or protect work so dependencies meet at the required capability window. • Connect arc
