This position will provide support to the program in areas such as:

Systems Engineering

• Provide assistance in the development, procurement, sustainment and modification of aircraft systems, subsystems, components and equipment.

Avionics Engineering

• Applies knowledge of avionics engineering in support of avionics subsystem definition, development, integration, all verification methods to include review of ICDs, sustainment, modeling/simulation, test and evaluation, and airworthiness certification across a wide range of hardware and software systems.

Systems Security Engineer

• Support the Systems Engineer with program engineering milestone reviews, test planning, and certification and accreditation packages. Review/develop/update applicable systems security engineering program documentation

Electrical Engineer

• Applies knowledge of electrical engineering in support of electrical power systems, avionics subsystem definition, development, integration, all verification methods, sustainment, modeling/simulation, testing and evaluation, and airworthiness certification across a wide range of hardware and software systems.

Manufacturing/Quality Assurance Engineer

• Assists in developing and assessing defect prevention strategies and processes for development, production, and deployment of hardware. Assist in performing Quality Assurance (QA) analyses to ensure hardware systems being acquired by the USG can be produced by controlled manufacturing processes at manageable risk to cost, schedule, or user satisfaction.
• Assists in conducting special studies and analyzing broad QA issues common to all USG acquisition programs, including: discrete investigations of particular issues using such methods and tools as process variability reduction, statistical process/quality control, defect prevention, metrology, nondestructive evaluation, QA, or automated inspection.
• Assists in reviewing and assessing contractor QA planning and progress.
• Evaluates quality system of the weapon system prime/subcontractor or depot, to the degree it impacts the system being acquired and assess the quality planning, discipline, and effectiveness, including weapon system prime/subcontractor use of advanced quality tools, techniques and systems.

Reliability and Maintainability Engineer

• Assists in developing an effective Reliability and Maintainability (R&M) process that ensures the user’s weapon system R&M requirements are clearly defined and achieved with agreement by the mission partner in support of the user's requirements
• Reviews the Failure Reporting, Analysis, and Corrective Action System (FRACAS) and reliability standard reports
• Assist in reviewing the overall system design baseline (architecture and interoperability requirements)

Software Engineer

• Demonstrates knowledge of software engineering in support of the design, development, testing and evaluation, implementation, maintenance, and administration of new and/or existing software systems
• Apply extensive knowledge in software assurance practices and tools to include architecture and design analysis tools, origin analyzers, source code weakness analyzers and binary analyzers
• Assist in reviewing, developing, and updating applicable program documentation for software engineering relevant requirements

Systems Integration Engineer

• Performs systems engineering to include expertise in systems design and integration; manufacturing, quality and industrial engineering; airworthiness; and configuration, and data management
• Assist in developing, deploying, and maintaining processes to assure weapon systems are fully integrated, manufactured, sustained, configuration managed and operationally safe, suitable and effective throughout their life cycle
• Apply OSS&E and airworthiness processes, as well as assist in providing risk assessments, safety analysis and recommendations, and addressing high priority safety issues
• Apply knowledge of systems engineering in support of system definition, development, integration, verification methods, sustainment, risk modeling/simulation, testing and evaluation, human system integration (HSI), crew stations engineering, OSS&E efforts, interoperability requirements, and airworthiness certification across a wide range of hardware and software systems, including ground based systems

Systems Safety Engineer

• Accomplish system safety engineering tasks to include risk assessment and system safety program for the assigned program(s) to ensure all systems procured are safe to operate and maintain.
• Review and assist with the development of system safety program plans, hazard analyses, performing risk assessments,…
