Pay Rate: $124725.00-$189000.00/Year
Requested Clearance: Active TS/SCI clearance.

Job Description;
As the program's Avionics Engineering SME, you will be the cornerstone technical authority for integrating the Nomad chassis, Type‐1 crypto, SATCOM apertures, and OMS/UCI software with multiple aircraft avionics suites during Major Release 2 (FY 25‐27)—ensuring airworthiness, mission effectiveness, and digital‐thread fidelity.
Essential Job Functions:

Architecture & Design Authority
• Define avionics integration schemes that marry Nomad VPX hardware with platform data buses (MIL‐STD‐1553, ARINC‐429/664, Ethernet TSN) and mission computers.
• Develop interface‐control documents (ICDs), signal‐flow diagrams, and timing budgets; ensure alignment with OMS/UCI messages and cross‐domain guard rules.
Airworthiness & Certification
• Lead authoring of AF Form 1067s, E‐series flight‐clearance packages, and safety‐of‐flight analyses.
• Oversee DO‐254 (hardware) & DO‐178C (software) compliance artifacts where required.
Digital Thread / MBSE
• Capture avionics models in SysML/CAMEO and link to requirements, verification methods, and hardware part trees.
• Drive configuration‐control boards, red‐line incorporation, and model synchronization.
Lab‐to‐Flight Integration
• Specify and validate wiring harnesses, signal conditioning, and power interfaces in the Integration SIL.
• Troubleshoot EMI/EMC, timing, and protocol issues; guide corrective actions through to flight‐test readiness.
Flight‐Test & Fielding Support
• Draft test cards, telemetry requirements, and Interim Authorizations To Test (IATT).
• Serve as on‐board or ground avionics lead during developmental & operational flights; analyze real‐time data and coordinate anomaly resolution.
Mentorship & Stakeholder Engagement
• Advise Government IPT leads, platform SPOs, and OEM avionics teams; present technical status to SES/GO audiences.
• Mentor mid‐level engineers, instilling open‐architecture and DevSecOps best practices in a classified environment.

Required Skills:
• Due to the sensitivity of customer related requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required.
• B.S. in Electrical, Avionics, Aerospace, or Computer Engineering (M.S. preferred) plus 20 + years of avionics design/integration on military fixed‐ or rotary‐wing platforms, including flight‐test and fielding.
• Expert knowledge of MIL‐STD‐1553, ARINC‐429/664, Ethernet (TSN/AFDX), VPX architectures, and timing/synchronization methods.
• Demonstrated success integrating Type‐1 crypto, SATCOM/RF subsystems, and open mission systems (OMS/UCI, FACE, SOSA).
• Hands‐on experience generating airworthiness artifacts and guiding systems through developmental & operational test.
• Proficiency with avionics E‐CAD and MBSE tools (CAMEO/MagicDraw, Rhapsody, Altium/OrCAD).

Desired Skills:
• Prior work on ABMS, CJADC2, or airborne C4ISR networking programs.
• Deep familiarity with DO‐254/DO‐178C compliance, RCC 324/125‐15, and MIL‐STD‐461 EMI/EMC.
• INCOSE CSEP/ESEP, DER, or USAF Test Pilot School academic credentials.
• Experience integrating software‐defined radios, content routing, or SDN architectures into legacy aircraft.
• Agile/SAFe certification and exposure to DevSecOps pipelines (Platform One, Rancher).

Education/ Experience:
• B.S. in Electrical, Avionics, Aerospace, or Computer Engineering (M.S. preferred) plus 20 + years of avionics design/integration on military fixed‐ or rotary‐wing platforms, including flight‐test and fielding.
