Las Vegas, NV (On-Site/Office)•Edwards AFB, CA (On-Site/Office)
Modern Technology Solutions, Inc. (MTSI) is seeking a Systems Engineer and Platform SME to join our growing team at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas, Nevada, or Edwards AFB in California.
This role will be an integral part of the Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) Systems Engineering (SE) Team. The SE/Platform SME will participate in Systems Engineering activities across all phases of simulation environment development, acquisition, operation, and sustainment. The SE/SME will possess the ability to understand air vehicle system architecture, design and subsystems integration, and mission systems avionics; as well as how platforms integrate and operate in the dynamic simulation environment (JSE).
As Platform SME and core member of the JSE systems engineering team, the incumbent will:
• Possess subject matter expert level knowledge of at least one established platform used to support USAF real-world and flight test activities (B-2, RQ-4 , F-35, F-22, F-47, CCA, B-21, other). Knowledge will focus on mission systems design and integration through recent experience as aircrew or engineer in either a test unit (DT or OT), or an emerging technology and developmental organization (Air Force or contractor) associated with military air vehicle systems. Using this knowledge, the SE/SME will act as the local expert on air vehicle systems, sensor and vehicle environmental interactions, and test use cases.
• Support and participate in test planning, execution, and assessment activities to include functional verification testing, formal verification and validation (V&V), regression testing, and accreditation support activities.
• Develop and maintain close ties within the JSE development community, support platform system program offices, and user communities. The SE/SME will use these relationships to ensure JSE test support models remain current and relevant with respect to the fielded and planned aircraft systems.
• Build a detailed understanding and knowledge of JSE architecture, capabilities, and limitations. The SE/SME will use this knowledge base to support development, integration, and test of JSE baseline capabilities, and to advise external DT and OT organizations to optimize their use of the JSE. The SE/SME may also use their detailed understanding and knowledge of user needs to assist JSE PO on JSE capability roadmap development and implementation.
• Decompose high-level JSE system requirements, develop/decompose derived requirements, and present proposed requirements to requirement approval bodies.
• Plan and conduct System Requirement Reviews, Preliminary Design Reviews, and Critical design reviews for system and facility acquisition/buildout.
• Support analysis of alternatives for hardware and software acquisitions.
Experience Requirements:
• Minimum of 5 years direct hands-on experience with designing, operating, and or testing aerospace systems
• Minimum of 3 years working on an established aircraft weapon or reconnaissance platform
• Exposure and understanding of modeling and simulation (M&S), data requirements and pipelines (data capture, archive, condition, process), in order to ascertain necessary tools (to include software solutions using python, MATLAB, etc.) to meet project data and customer requirements
• Possess and use excellent written and verbal communication skills as well as persuasion skills to advocate for various stakeholder needs
• Mentor junior employees and actively participates in their professional development
• Willingness to accept changing and evolving roles & responsibilities in support of customers' requirements and need
Desired Experience:
• Working knowledge of systems engineering processes and procedures
• Developmental Test and Operational Test operations experience
• Experience planning or executing test programs at the AFTC or other Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB)
• Graduate of an accredited Test Pilot School
• Experience leading cross functional teams comprised of engineering, program management and technicians to successfully execute development and fielding of complex products
Education Requirements:
BS in technical field or equivalent with number of years of experience determining level of position filled.
Clearance Requirements:
Top Secret clearance with the ability to attain SCI and appropriate program access required.
U.S. Citizenship required
The pay range for this position in California is $XXX,000/year to $XXX,000/ year; however, base pay offered may vary depending on established government contract ranges, job-related knowledge, skills, and experience, and other factors. MTSI also offers a full range of medical, financial, and other benefits, dependent on the position offered. Base pay information is based on market location. Applicants should apply via MTSI's internal or external careers site.
