- Assist in developing system performance requirements, integration objectives, and estimates for design, development, and sustainment.
- Review engineering proposals, designs, specifications, and change packages; provide recommendations to optimize cost, schedule, and performance.
- Conduct engineering evaluations supporting airworthiness (MIL-HDBK-516), safety (MIL-STD-882), and Operational Safety, Suitability & Effectiveness (OSS&E).
- Support engineering reviews, design reviews, TIMs, working groups, and program reviews, providing technical input, documentation, and reporting.
- Support systems and avionics engineering across requirements, design, integration, development, modification, test, airworthiness, production, sustainment, deployment, operations, and divestiture.
- Provide expertise in maintenance systems integration, design-for-test, diagnostics, and electronic support equipment.
- Coordinate with acquisition organizations, higher headquarters, DoD entities, labs, industry, and universities; support documentation and emerging technology assessments.
- Assist with avionics engineering for design, development, manufacturing, integration, testing, and fielding of airborne weapon systems, embedded computing, software, and maintenance systems.
- Apply systems engineering processes for airworthiness, requirements, software releases, metrics and traceability, allocations, program protection, technical reviews, configuration audits, design analysis, interface integration, and test verification/validation.
- Support reviews, studies, performance requirement development, and avionics system-level integration documentation.
- Ensure proper application of systems integration, interface management, test, R&M, accreditation, certification, technology transfer, manufacturing readiness, PESHE, and ESOH requirements.
- Support development, deployment, and sustainment of technical processes ensuring safe operation and maintenance of systems.
- Provide expertise to develop artifacts for systems integration, OSS&E, MIL-HDBK-516 airworthiness, MIL-STD-882 system safety, and lifecycle systems engineering (DAFI 63-1201).
- Support development and sustainment of training systems, including modeling and simulation.
- Maintain understanding of MIL-STD-1553 and RS-232 standards for use in military training systems.
- Maintain understanding of ARINC 610 standards for avionics and software integration within military simulators.
