Core Services
Consulting Services
“in the trenches turning wrenches.”
Most of our engineers spent time as developers “in the trenches turning wrenches.” This gives our SSI consultants an advantage over competitors in providing services to government and commercial customers.
For this reason, SSI consultants are exceptional choices to help with the following tasks:
Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance
We understand the role of the SETA engineer in the acquisition process. We provide solutions, rather than problems, to our customers and provide them with necessary information and recommendations to allow them to make the right decision.
Participation in Independent Review Teams
While SSI has a mix of experience levels within the company, those employees with decades of technical and programmatic experience are often asked to serve in IRTs that aid the government reviewing program milestones, failure review boards, and strategy development groups.
Acquisition Strategy
Coming up with an idea is one thing. Bringing that idea to fruition, finding adequate funding, contacting potential teammates and stakeholders, and performing market surveys are tasks that SSI personnel frequently execute.
Proposal Assistance
Breaking into the club is hard. You know you can do a better job than your competitors, but putting together a killer proposal that illustrates your point is hard. SSI has decades of experience in proposal development that have brought in dozens of successful wins valued in the many $M.
Engineering Services
“finely-honed reservoir of engineering judgment and expertise”
Program managers, consultants, and executors. Along with these skills resides a finely-honed reservoir of engineering judgment and expertise deep in the heart of every SSI employee.
This allows us to help with the following:
Mission Design
Your program is going to do amazing things. But do you know how to make that happen? What about the orbit, the initialization plan, getting permission to use the right ground stations, the disposal plan? Hard stuff for sure, but SSI has been doing it for years.
Subsystem Design and Engineering
Our people have decades of experience in a variety of subsystem disciplines. We can work with your subject matter experts to help develop and integrate subsystems into a higher-level assembly.
Detailed Analysis and Trade Studies
SSI can help or even execute your most detailed analytical studies. We can also help you evaluate your options in a data-driven manner.
Management Services
“employees became managers”
Many of our employees became managers after working as front-line engineers.
As consultants, they can work the thankless and complicated components required to execute your programs:
Project Management
Managing an engineering program requires a balance of technical understanding and a vision of how disparate groups collaborate. Our people excel at managing people and programs, delivering products under budget and within schedule.
Earned Value
Everyone hates it, but it works. SSI can help you turn procurement data into a higher-level perspective of your program’s progress.
