Job Title

The role involves a variety of duties related to the development, review, and testing of RNP RNAV capabilities.

You will author, review, and decompose system-level requirements for RNP RNAV capabilities from top-level Navy Functional Requirements Documents (FRDs) and PBN Specifications.

You will serve as the PBN/RNP Subject Matter Expert (SME) in SETR design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR), technical working groups, and supplier technical interchange meetings.

You will assist in developing the certification strategy for new PBN navigation capabilities and legacy platform upgrades, addressing both bespoke military systems and the integration of Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) avionics.

You will conduct Navigation System compatibility and performance testing with Fleet and Test Pilots in high-fidelity simulators and System Integration Labs (SILs) for both regression analysis and formal "for score" certification events.
