CERTIFICATIONS: No additional certifications required

EXPERIENCE LEVEL: Senior

Support the application of knowledge and experience in engineering principles, criteria, and procedures to USAF systems, subsystems, and equipment procurement activities, post-award project/program management tasks, and acquisition programs throughout their life cycles.

Will have knowledge of avionics engineering in support of avionics subsystem definition, development, integration, and all verification methods to include review of ICD, sustainment, Modeling, Simulation and Analysis (MS&A), T&E, and airworthiness certification across a wide range of hardware and software systems. The Contractor shall know radar theory and principles, and an understanding of the radar design, development, and implementation process is required. Expected activities include providing technical advice and serving as the technical interface between the Government customers and the radar manufacturers, interacting with customers, participating in meetings, and producing detailed specialized products.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Shall serve as an avionics engineer emphasizing integrating radar and E.W. sensors.
  • Develop/review/update applicable program documentation for avionics engineering relevant requirements. The Contractor shall assist the Government in drafting and developing systems/subsystem specifications and various engineering documents supporting milestone reviews and events.
  • Be responsible for developing and testing the program system hardware and software and its integration into the program system architecture. Attend all technical reviews and provide technical advice on the path forward to installation of the new hardware and software into the system. Review system-specific test plans and participate in system, subsystem, and component testing.
  • Support and conduct performance effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, cost performance, life-cycle cost, producibility, maintainability, supportability, reliability, technical and schedule risk assessments, and scheduling trade-off studies.
  • Support hardware/software development and related system ground and flight test activities, including hardware-in-the-loop, subsystem integration labs, developmental T&E, and initial operational T&E-related activities.
  • Support and conduct systems analyses to include, but not limited to, avionics system design/design feasibility and state-of-the-art assessment requirements, system capacity analysis, investigate alternative solutions and architecture trade-offs, support operations concept development, and document results.
  • Perform analyses of avionics and subsystems including, but not limited to, system threat analysis, laser systems, computer systems, avionics interfaces, and multiplex data bus communications. Identify potential issues and areas of improvement for Government consideration.
  • Shall accomplish data processing, including centroiding, tracker, timing issues, data loading issues, software, and interfaces to combat system and automation systems, including required data, quantity of data, data merging, and integration.
  • Shall accomplish MS&A of radar, targets, and clutter/weather; testing and evaluating radar system performance, including developing test plans and procedures, witnessing tests, and writing test reports for qualification, operational field, and factory system-level testing.
  • Support Aircraft Information Management Systems (AIMS) requirements/testing/certification and spectrum management requirements/testing/certification.
  • Use knowledge of Communication Navigation Surveillance/ Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) requirements, policies, and regulations to define requirements, complete CNS/ATM compliance matrices, and support testing and certification of aircraft and supporting systems.
  • Perform technical activities associated with radar waveforms and signal and data processing techniques that provide robust performance in electromagnetic interference (EMI), Electronic Counter-Measure (ECM), multipath, ducting, and clutter environments. These activities may include but are not limited to phased array. Active aperture antennas, adaptive array processing, digital beam forming, klystron and solid state transmitter technologies, receiver and transmitters stability issues, advanced Analog-to-Digital (A/D) technology, EMI, ECM, and E.W. Digital signal processing include Moving Target Indication (MTI), pulse Doppler, monopulse, imaging, adaptive techniques, Constant False Alarm Rates (CFARs), clutter maps, and timing issues.
  • Apply an understanding of aeronautical vehicle systems, software, and airborne or related ground systems avionics capabilities to support the core engineering tasks related to E.W. engineering.
