Job Description
THE WORK
This position is for a level 3 System Integration/Test Engineer (SI/TE) within Production Operations for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Pilot Training Device (PTD) product line of flight simulators, including the Full Mission Simulator (FMS), the Modified Mission Rehearsal Trainer (MMRT), the Deployable Mission Rehearsal Trainer (DMRT), and various testbed devices for software development. We integrate deliverable hardware and deliverable software during production testing in our Orlando facility and then deliver the advanced Pilot Training Devices to our customers at their US and international locations. We take pride in our work because we know that pilots gain proficiency in our flight simulators that directly translates to effectiveness when they operate the F-35 aircraft in real-world tactical situations.
Specific responsibilities include:
• Plans, implements, tests, documents, and maintains solutions for the integration and testing of in-house developed and COTS/GOTS components, elements, subsystems and/or systems.
• Creates manufacturing test procedures of repeatable processes to test hardware based upon hardware drawings and to efficiently configure hardware and network settings based upon system integration documents, for execution by test technicians.
• Within 6 months of start date, expected to travel to US and International customer sites to install and test F-35 Pilot Training Devices (flight simulators).
• Plans and arranges the labor, schedules, and equipment required for testing and evaluating standard and special devices at Orlando and at customer sites.
• Compiles data and defines changes required in testing equipment, testing procedures, manufacturing processes, or new testing requirements.
• Expected to eventually serve as the program's project manager to lead cross-functional teams during customer on-site installs.
WHO YOU ARE

Desired skills
• Excellent communication skills (written, verbal, and presentation) and able to communicate effectively with external customer and internal leadership about technical status/issues.
• Possess a current CompTIA Security + Certification.
• Current approval to access JSF Special Access Programs.
