What are the responsibilities and job description for the Solutions Engineer (USSF) position at Sabel Systems?
Why Sabel Systems
Sabel Systems is a growing defense technology company with deep roots in digital engineering, DevSecOps, and lifecycle management for the warfighter. Our USSF product portfolio is purpose-built to solve the hardest data interoperability, configuration management, and open architecture challenges the DoD faces today.
This isn’t a staff role. You’ll be in front of customers, in the room when strategy gets made, and directly accountable for the growth of a product line that matters to national defense. You’ll work alongside senior leaders, influence product direction, and see your work translate into contracts, capabilities, and mission outcomes.
Why This Role Matters
Sabel Systems builds the digital engineering and data management products that help the Space Force design, sustain, and modernize weapon systems faster. Our USSF Business Unit product portfolio sits at the center of the DoD’s push toward open architectures, authoritative engineering data, and model-based practices—and demand is accelerating.
We need a Solutions Engineer who can take that demand and turn it into wins. This is a customer-facing role for someone who combines systems engineering credibility. You’ll lead the technical side of business development, running discovery with Space Force customers, shaping solutions, building proposals, and delivering executive briefings that move opportunities from pipeline to contract.
If you’re a strong technical communicator who gets energy from being in front of customers and shaping how a product goes to market in the defense space—this is your role.

- Lead pre-sales solutioning: build demo storylines, develop proof-of-value engagements, and craft compelling technical narratives that differentiate Sabel’s USSF Business Unit portfolio against incumbent solutions.
- Conduct competitive intelligence and market assessments across the defense digital engineering landscape. Identify whitespace opportunities, track competitor positioning, and translate findings into actionable capture strategies.
- Partner with Business Development to qualify opportunities, shape RFIs/RFPs where possible, and build win strategies grounded in technical differentiation and mission alignment.
- Deliver executive briefings and technical presentations to government stakeholders, from working-level engineers to PEOs and general officers—translating product capability into mission value.
- Author technical white papers, solution briefs, competitive analyses, and customer-facing materials that build Sabel’s brand and pipeline.
- Serve as the technical authority in customer engagements—architecting solutions that map Sabel’s product capabilities to Space Force digital engineering, data management, and open-architecture requirements.
- Translate customer mission threads and program requirements into functional product requirements and architectural roadmaps for the USSF Business Unit.
- Develop reference architectures, integration patterns, and reusable solution frameworks that accelerate deal cycles and enable repeatable delivery across programs.
- Stay current on DoD digital engineering strategy, MOSA/WOSA adoption, open-standard interfaces, and emerging technical mandates and feed that awareness into product positioning and roadmap decisions.
- Engage credibly with government engineers, system integrators, and acquisition professionals on systems engineering, enterprise data architecture, and digital thread concepts.
- Partner with the Chief Product Officer and USSF Business Unit leadership to define value propositions, refine product-market fit, and align the product roadmap to Space Force mission priorities and emerging budget signals.
- Translate field-level customer feedback, competitive dynamics, and market trends into product requirements and feature prioritization recommendations.
- Support pricing strategy, packaging decisions, and go-to-market planning for new product capabilities and market entries.
- Identify expansion opportunities within existing accounts and adjacent mission areas - sustainment, modernization, test and evaluation, and beyond.
