Position Description

ENSCO, Inc is a diverse engineering and technology company that provides engineering, science and advanced technology solutions that guarantee mission success, safety, and security to governments and private industries worldwide.

ENSCO is seeking a Software Delivery Lead to support the MILSATCOM Systems Engineering, Integration, and Test (MSEIT) contract at Space Systems Command (SSC). This role is responsible for actively coordinating software deliveries and operational acceptance activities across Agile development teams, operational stakeholders, and mission organizations supporting U.S. Space Force capabilities.

The Software Delivery Lead serves as a hands-on execution and coordination lead focused on getting software capabilities operationally accepted and delivered into mission environments. The role requires close daily interaction with development teams, OA authorities, cyber organizations, operational users, and government leadership to ensure releases remain aligned, executable, and synchronized across the program.

The environment includes multiple heterogeneous development, integration, and operational ecosystems with differing deployment constraints, operational requirements, and acceptance timelines. This role requires balancing those constraints while maximizing delivery throughput and operational effectiveness across the program.

This position also helps inform the ongoing evolution of operational acceptance processes as the program transitions from large, infrequent OA drops toward more continuous integration and deployment approaches. However, the primary focus is software delivery execution, release coordination, and operational synchronization rather than process ownership alone.

The MSEIT effort provides leading edge Systems Engineering & Integration (SE&I) for the Space Force’s SSC. We support the Space Force’s acquisition of state of the art Military Satellite Communications systems, providing global secure, survivable, and protected communications for our nation’s warfighters. We seek technical individuals who will thrive in a highly collaborative work environment of small teams, using the most modern tools and methodologies to tackle the challenges of integrating complex space and ground communications systems. This position is on-site in Colorado Springs, CO or El Segundo, CA. Some of the job responsibilities include but are not limited to:

- Delivery Leadership: Actively coordinate and manage software delivery activities across development, cyber, operations, infrastructure, integration, and DevSecOps teams to support successful operational releases.
- OA Coordination: Serve as a primary interface for operational acceptance coordination with CFC (formerly SpOC), OA representatives, mission operators, and related stakeholders.
- Agile Delivery Execution: Work directly with Agile development teams to track delivery readiness, operational dependencies, blockers, and release timelines.
- Multi-Environment Coordination: Coordinate software deliveries across heterogeneous development and operational environments, balancing differing operational constraints, security requirements, deployment timelines, and mission priorities.
- Throughput Optimization: Help maximize software delivery throughput by identifying bottlenecks, synchronizing dependencies, and improving coordination across environments and stakeholder groups.
- Release Management: Coordinate operational integration events, release synchronization activities, demonstrations, deployment readiness efforts, and production delivery activities across multiple organizations.
- Stakeholder Management: Maintain active communication and alignment among SSC, operational users, cyber teams, developers, integrators, and mission partners.
- Issue Resolution & Coordination: Identify and drive resolution of delivery, operational, integration, or stakeholder issues impacting release execution.
- Delivery Tracking & Reporting: Develop and maintain schedules, readiness dashboards, Jira workflows, status charts, and operational tracking products used by leadership and stakeholders.
- Cross-Team Synchronization: Facilitate daily coordination among engineering, DevSecOps, SE&I, cyber, and operational teams to ensure releases remain executable and mission aligned.
- Agile & OA Alignment: Help development teams navigate and align Agile delivery practices with operational acceptance requirements and mission assurance expectations.
- Delivery Workflow Improvement: Identify practical opportunities to streamline operational delivery and release coordination activities in support of more continuous delivery approaches.

## Qualifications Required

- Bachelor’s degree in engineering, computer science, or related field
- 8+ years of experience supporting software delivery, operational integration, mission operations, release management, or systems delivery activities within DoD environments
