FMS Mission Planning Systems Engineer, Lead Jobs

FMS Mission Planning Systems Engineer, Lead

The Opportunity:

Serve as the Lead FMS Systems Engineer supporting Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Mission Planning programs within the Airspace Mission Planning (AMP) enterprise. Lead the identification, decomposition, and validation of technical requirements needed to adapt U.S. Mission Planning System (MPS) capabilities into releasable, country-unique Mission Planning Environments (MPEs) while ensuring protection of Critical Program Information (CPI), compliance with ITAR, and adherence to all foreign-releasability constraints.

Provide systems engineering leadership across the full lifecycle of FMS mission-planning capabilities, including architecture tailoring, integration analysis, validation, technical evaluation, and configuration alignment. Support the Government in developing Technical Requirements Documents (TRDs), performing Component Replacement Evaluations (CREs), reviewing Engineering Releases (ERs), and evaluating capabilities where no prior U.S. technical baseline exists. Participate in systems engineering processes, technical interchanges, system security and program protection activities, program integration, architecture monitoring, and governance boards to ensure commonality across Mission Planning Enterprise products.

Develop technical assessments, special studies, and interoperability analyses as required. Support site visits for design, integration, certification, and evaluation activities. Ensure FMS MPEs, tailored components, tools, utilities, scripts, and security patches are integrated, validated, and delivered in accordance with the AMP PWS. This role directly supports the Government's ability to deliver releasable, interoperable, and technically sound mission-planning capabilities to partner nations.
