Description: Exciting opportunity to be a member of the DoD's newest branch: The United States Space Force! We are looking for a few skilled and motivated SATCOM professionals to join our team.

This position falls under the Acquisition Demo program, which can be confusing. BLUF: You enjoy the benefits of being a government employee without the constraints of the GS system.

Key Skills and Abilties: 1. Knowledge of Wideband SATCOM systems and operations sufficient to serve as a technical advisor to other satellite controllers. 2.

Ability to configure and operate Wideband satellite systems, management, planning, and tools to ensure authorized levels of performance. 3.
