Submittal of these documents shall be in draft form and shall not include the Contractor name / organization. The draft submittals shall be measured against technical competence, timely submittal, and overall completeness/fulfillment of the effort/requirement.

  • Performing engineering studies/analyses relating to the design, integration, or testing of components. Apply these studies/analyses and engineering models as applicable towards associated aviation platforms and support systems. Additionally, these may be utilized for the development of requirements definitions, system architecture, software, and hardware designs.

  • Conducting test preparation and execution or test-related activities for various R&D activities of the TDD-SID. Aid in developing and writing test plans, test reports, and test execution of tests IAW approved test plans and procedures. Examples of testing shall include but not limited to; material testing, sub-component and full system checkout, and environmental testing (temperature, altitude, humidity, vibration, and shock testing) IAW military and other appropriate engineering standards.

  • Planning for future efforts, monitoring of program execution, and documenting program results. Support organizing and conducting meetings, assembling communities of interest, and documenting meeting results.

  • Researching areas relevant to existing and future military systems. Ability to support and present results through white papers, technical interchange meetings, and Government approved conferences/briefings.

  • Developing modeling and simulation system environments, system architectures, and system verification plans for various R&D activities of the SID.

  • Providing systems engineering and analysis support in the definition of technical performance measures used in test and evaluation, and for post-test data collection and analysis. Examples include but are not limited to subsystem or system level simulation evaluation, human-in-the-loop evaluation or field testing of multiple aircraft types, or representative avionics, mission computers, sensors, or weapons system.

Education and Experience Requirements:

  • B.S. Degree In the field of Aerospace, Computer, Electrical, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering from an ABET accredited program including differential and integral calculus, electrical fields and circuits, and other comparable engineering science or physics

  • Minimum of eight years of experience with the generation of test plans, analysis, and reports specific to aviation and/or R&D programs.

  • Ability to present these findings at technical interchange meetings and senior level briefings; and

  • Minimum of eight years of experience with Modeling and Simulation theory and implementation of testing environments.
