AFLCMC/PEO Digital Directorate is headquartered at Hanscom AFB, MA with CONUS and OCONUS operating units.

• Conduct reviews on program portfolio to evaluate and/or recommend alternative plans, improve systems engineering programs/processes, manage/sustain program technical baseline, and design/perform system-level tests to ensure subsystems and system performance meet approved specifications.

• Perform program reviews to evaluate alternative proposed plans, systems engineering programs, design and test results to ensure subsystem and system performance meet program specifications.

• Prepare technical documents defining, specifying, and recommending system/subsystem characteristics. Prepare management reports and conduct technical presentations for planning, implementation and corrective action using engineering economy principles.

• Perform validation of systems, including development of criteria and procedures. Analyze and/or evaluate results of major engineering systems.

• Provide system/program engineering, technical support and technical training to support programs/initiatives, including acquisition, development, integration, sustainment, continued evolution, deployment/fielding and installation, and operations oversight.

• Provide engineering support services and inputs to program and project risk management activities in compliance with AF SEAM processes.

• Provide engineering support to conduct formal trade studies based on engineering performance, effectiveness, cost effectiveness, cost performance, life cycle cost, productivity, reliability, maintainability, risk, and schedule.

• Provide technical recommendation support services, including reviews, studies, audits, evaluations and analyses, guidance, documentation, technical analysis, and support of associated engineering IPTs.

• Provide proposal analysis support services that compare and quantify proposed systems, components, approaches for technical feasibility, compatibility, and cost effectiveness.

• Provide concepts and requirements analyses support services including, but not limited to, reviewing and analyzing:

  • Initial Capabilities Documents (ICD)
