Systems Integration Engineer, Senior

Responsibilities

• Perform systems engineering including systems design and integration, manufacturing, quality and industrial engineering, airworthiness, 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.
• Understand and execute AFPD 62-6, USAF Airworthiness, through standardized processes and issuance of flight authorizations.
• Apply OSS&E and airworthiness processes, and assist in providing risk assessments, safety analysis and recommendations, and addressing high-priority safety issues.
• Have 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 station engineering, OSS&E efforts, interoperability requirements, and airworthiness certification across a wide range of hardware and software systems, including ground‑based systems.
• Review and assist in performing assessments on program-specific databases, analyzing BIT failure reports, and comparing failure reports against the BIT interpreter analyzer for accuracy of BIT indications; provide system integration guidance to aircraft program offices for program system installation and maintenance; review and analyze technical proposals or modifications for design feasibility and system capability; assist in conducting performance effectiveness, cost effectiveness, cost performance, life-cycle cost, producibility, maintainability, supportability, reliability, technical and schedule risk assessments, and scheduling trade‑off studies;
  
  conduct system design and state‑of‑the‑art assessments.
• Provide system integration guidance to the Government for program system installation and maintenance.
• Provide technical expertise and proper application of systems engineering processes to support technology and systems development.
• Assist in the development and review of the overall system design baseline (architecture and interoperability requirements).
• Apply an understanding of DoD, AF, and common engineering/scientific principles, processes, and procedures to improve performance and sustainability of existing and future AF and joint service weapon systems.
• Apply MIL‑HDBK‑516C Airworthiness Certification Criteria to aircraft systems and subsystems; support the System Integrity Programs (including MECSIP); assist in maintaining and updating the Critical Safety Item (CSI) list; and monitor airworthiness certification for mission partner aircraft. Understand and execute AFPD 62‑6, associated AFIs and Airworthiness Bulletins through standardized processes and issuance of flight authorizations. Assist in translating user requirements into weapons system requirements for design, development, fabrication, testing and evaluation of weapons systems, subsystems, and equipment for fielding and 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/disposal of weapon system capabilities within the USAF.
• Assist in performing technical/mission analyses of existing and future operational requirements; develop system concepts and perform technological/trade‑off assessments of proposed designs or modifications.
• Assist in providing rapid‑response engineering service and support as augmentation to organic resources through in‑depth problem identification, impact assessment, and development of corrective actions for critical supportability problems.
• Support and assist in conducting the system safety engineering program, including mishap risk assessments; evaluate contractor safety proposals and safety analyses; evaluate safety concerns of using and support commands; and assist with resolution of high‑priority safety issues.
• Assist in performing material solution analyses leading up to design reviews and in producing or supporting development of draft documentation and…
