Engineering Support SME

Position Location

Wright Patterson AFB, Dayton OH (on-site)

The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center Special Programs Office (AFLCMC/WAG) develops tests, and rapidly fields classified Air Force aeronautical capabilities. Executing a significant budget, AFLCMC/WAG conducts studies to identify new capabilities; transitions laboratory technologies to operational platforms; executes demonstrations; and develops, tests, and rapidly fields new capabilities for the warfighter. The primary task is to support the acquisition of aircraft systems and subsystems.

• 20 years of relevant experience-
• 3 of the last 5 years must be in an SAP environment
• Apply knowledge of and expertise in DoD, USAF, and common engineering and scientific principles, criteria, and procedures to improve planned and existing USAF and joint service weapon system manufacture, operations, re-manufacture and de-militarization operations and oversight.
• Assist in translating user requirements into system requirements, which will be used to design, develop, fabricate, test, and evaluate systems, subsystems, and equipment for deployment.
• Assist with the development of requirements and technology needs into action plans and policies necessary to improve and retain world class manufacturing, operations, re-manufacturing, and de-militarization of weapon system capabilities.
• Perform technical/mission analyses of existing and potential operational requirements, assists in developing system concepts and performs technological and trade-off study assessments of proposed designs.
• Develop and review the overall system design baseline ( architecture and interoperability requirements).
• Assist with developmental planning support in the evaluation of military missions to be accomplished and related requirements documentation including defining the set of military missions to be performed.
