Odyssey is recruiting to fill an Avionics Integration Engineer position supporting the WIB CV-22 Osprey Division, at Patuxent River, MD. WIB is part of the ISR/SOF Directorate (AFLCMC/WI), who is responsible for equipping our warfighters to win the fight. The Directorate executes a $22 billion acquisition portfolio developing, producing, testing, modifying, fielding, and supporting Air Force ISR and SOF platforms, and related sub-systems.

Duties include, but not limited to: 

• Utilize multidisciplinary engineering expertise to develop system concepts, assess technical trade-offs, and evaluate alternative design approaches.
• Assist in defining, translating, and validating weapon system and subsystem requirements into system specifications and airworthiness criteria.
• Support development of system performance objectives, integration requirements, and resource estimation for design, development, and sustainment activities.
• Conduct analyses of proposed designs, engineering changes, and program impacts to ensure performance, cost efficiency, and technical feasibility.
• Perform modeling, simulation, and survivability analyses to identify risks, OSS&E issues, and integration challenges.
• Provide avionics engineering support for integrated systems, embedded software, diagnostics, electronic support equipment, and mission-critical software releases.
• Review system architectures, ICDs, drawings, and specifications to ensure interoperability, compliance, and adherence to MIL standards (e.g., MILADHDBKAD516, MILADSTDAD1553, RSAD232, ARINC 610).
• Provide technical guidance for propulsion system development, integration, performance assessment, and sustainment planning.
• Support engineering reviews, TIMs, design reviews, configuration boards, and working groups, preparing technical summaries, recommendations, and documentation.
• Assist in developing sourceADselection materials, acquisition strategy plans, technical evaluation criteria, PWS inputs, RFP content, and CDRL recommendations.
• Maintain and support requirements management using tools such as DOORS and RSA to develop architectures, traceability, and decision-support products.
• Participate in special studies evaluating emerging technologies, state-of-the-art assessments, and modernization initiatives for SOF weapon systems.
• Support lifecycle engineering activities across R&D, production, sustainment, deployment, operations, and divestiture for avionics and weapons systems.
• Prepare and deliver technical reports, briefings, feasibility assessments, risk analyses, and documentation supporting airworthiness, OSS&E, and system certification.
• Apply DoDD 5000-series acquisition policies and AFMC/AFLCMC engineering processes across SOF engineering and integration tasks.

Minimum Required Qualifications:

Citizenship: US Citizen

Clearance: Secret

Minimum Qualifications:

• BachelorADs degree in Engineering (ABET) and 3 years of experience in the respective technical/professional discipline being performed, 3 years of which must be in the DoD.

Technical Skills:
