The United States Space Force (USSF) at Fort Detrick, Frederick, MD is searching for a Telecommunications Specialist, 53 Space Operations Squadron (NH-0391-02, GS-05/11 Equivalent). Description: Exciting opportunity to be a member of the DoW's newest branch: The United States Space Force! We are looking for a skilled and motivated Wideband Global SATCOM professional to serve as the technical backbone of a critical communications mission.

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. Pay is broadbanded with GS-equivalent pay ranges and this position currently falls in the GS 10-11 range.
Ideal Candidate: *Candidate must be able to obtain and maintain a Top Secret w/ SCI clearance.* 1. Knowledge of Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) systems and operations sufficient to serve as a technical advisor to other satellite controllers. 2. Ability to configure and operate WGS systems and tools to ensure authorized levels of performance. 3. Skill in working with WGS customers to assess needs, provide assistance, resolve problems, and satisfy expectations. 4.
