Avionics Systems Integration Engineer

JT4, LLC provides engineering and technical support to multiple western test ranges for the U.S. Air Force, Space Force, and Navy under the Joint Range Technical Services Contract, better known as J-Tech II. JT4 develops and maintains realistic, integrated test and training environments and prepares our nation's war-fighting aircraft, weapons systems, and aircrews for today's missions and tomorrow's global challenges.

JOB SUMMARY – ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS / DUTIES The Avionics Systems Integration Engineer VI serves as the lead technical integrator responsible for coordinating multidisciplinary engineering activities supporting aircraft airworthiness, T2 modification packages, sustainment engineering, and system-level integration across multiple airborne platforms. This position provides independent technical leadership in reviewing, integrating, and assessing contractor-developed engineering packages while ensuring aircraft modifications comply with Government airworthiness requirements, engineering standards, and program objectives.

Employee will be responsible for the following functions/duties:
Perform as the lead systems integrator responsible for coordinating engineering activities across electrical, avionics, structures, propulsion, flight controls, software, systems safety, and configuration management disciplines in support of customer requirement. Lead development and review of T2 engineering packages supporting aircraft modifications, mission equipment integration, instrumentation installations, antenna relocations, communications systems, ISR payloads, and subsystem upgrades. Conduct technical peer reviews of contractor-developed engineering analyses, substantiation reports, drawings, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), and installation packages.

Evaluate integration impacts affecting aircraft performance, safety, maintainability, supportability, electromagnetic compatibility, and airworthiness certification. Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering reviews ensuring technical consistency between engineering disciplines prior to Government approval. Lead technical trade studies evaluating alternative integration approaches, design concepts, and risk mitigation strategies. Review system architecture, interface definitions, functional requirements, electrical interfaces, software interfaces, mechanical interfaces, and data communications. Support development of engineering requirements, verification plans, Systems Requirements Reviews (SRR), Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR), Critical Design Reviews (CDR), Test Readiness Reviews (TRR), and Airworthiness Review Boards (ARB).

Coordinate engineering activities supporting both developmental testing and operational flight testing. Review system safety analyses including Functional Hazard Assessments (FHA), System Safety Assessments (SSA), Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEA), Fault Tree Analyses (FTA), and hazard tracking. Support development of system verification matrices, requirements traceability matrices, and technical risk assessments. Coordinate engineering activities supporting aircraft sustainment, engineering investigations, fleet modifications, technical directives, and engineering dispositions.

Provide engineering recommendations supporting Government Chief Engineers, Technical Authorities (TA), Airworthiness Authorities, Program Managers, and customer representatives. Develop engineering memorandums, technical recommendations, risk assessments, engineering white papers, executive briefings, and customer presentations. Review and coordinate CAD models, installation drawings, structural analyses, electrical load analyses, wiring diagrams, interface documentation, and aircraft modification packages. Ensure engineering activities comply with applicable Government guidance and other applicable airworthiness standards.

Mentor junior engineers while establishing engineering best practices across the Airworthiness organization. Operate as a technical integrator responsible for ensuring engineering products from multiple disciplines are technically complete, internally consistent, and ready for Government review.
