General/Interdisciplinary Engineer, Senior

The Senior General/Interdisciplinary Engineer will support the Aerospace Dominance Enabler Division (AFLCMC/C3BM) at Hill AFB in Ogden, UT, contributing engineering and technical efforts that protect, accredit, and sustain the cybersecurity posture of Air Force information systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Conduct and support engineering and technical activities across the material solution analysis, technology and engineering, manufacturing development, production and deployment, and operation and support phases of the systems acquisition lifecycle.
• Develop and maintain engineering and technical documentation, including artifacts such as Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and the Systems Engineering Plan (SEP), along with systems review and analysis deliverables requiring reporting, briefings, and written artifacts for assigned technical specialty areas.
• Plan and execute required technical reviews, assessments, and interchange meetings, including Critical Design Review (CDR), Manufacturing Readiness Assessment (MRA), and Reliability Technical Interchange Meeting (TIM), and support entry and exit criteria documentation.
• Support Risk Management Framework (RMF) certification activities, including coordination, RMF artifact generation, and securing approvals from external agencies (currently CENTCOM) to obtain authority to transmit on the global grid.
• Request and review system scans and supporting data or briefings to support certification activities and related accreditation steps.
• Perform system architectural analyses, including design feasibility and state-of-the-art assessments, to produce and document planned and existing system architectures, identify deficiencies, develop alternatives, recommend solutions, and support implementation planning aligned with acquisition and sustainment systems engineering processes.
• Track and ensure architecture and interoperability requirements for the baselined system remain maintained throughout lifecycle execution.
• Define operational requirements and functional interactions within the system and with other systems, considering life cycle costs, logistics supportability, and human factors, to confirm the system building blocks are defined with sufficient detail for development program needs.
• Translate DoD user requirements into system requirements for designing, developing, testing, and evaluating system and subsystem solutions using USAF and DoD approved acquisition approaches.
• Provide engineering analysis for system training, training equipment, and simulator needs, including technical documentation and evaluation of equipment and simulator designs.
• Apply DoD acquisition and sustainment systems engineering processes to address life-cycle requirements across each product support area.
• Prepare and review program specifications for items, processes, and materials.
• Use analytical methods, simulation, MBSE, and digital engineering approaches to optimize system performance or effectiveness, establish system sensitivities, define parameters, evaluate hardware, and validate flight test results in relation to system relationships and applications.
• Develop, prepare, review, and integrate milestone review documentation, periodic reports, and certifications identified in current DoD and AF acquisition policy.
• Review and evaluate acquisition contractor drawings for completeness, currency, technical accuracy, and conformance to requirements, specifications, regulations, and quality control, including compliance with ASME technical Data Package formatting and requirements.
• Support requirements definition and analysis, architecture design, implementation, integration, verification and validation, transition, decision analysis, requirements management, risk management, interface management, and configuration management.
• Facilitate the transfer of information, lessons learned, and best practices across customers and contractors served under the task order while respecting proprietary rights.
• Conduct market research and trade studies to evaluate current and future systems against mission needs.
• Perform system cost, schedule, and technical performance analyses and provide technical recommendations to the Government.
• Conduct reviews, studies (including root cause analysis), audits, evaluations, and analyses, providing technical recommendations to the Government.
• Evaluate engineering performance, effectiveness, cost effectiveness, cost performance, life cycle cost, producibility, reliability and maintainability, risk, and scheduling trade-offs; deliver technical recommendations as applicable.
• Develop and review USAF approved Test and Evaluation Master Plans (TEMP), test plans, and procedures, prepare test readiness reviews and test documentation, execute developmental tests, and support operational test planning and execution; evaluate test results in support of acquisition and sustainment programs.
• Participate in integrated logistics support activities including provisioning, source coding, maintenance data collection, technical order management, configuration management, evaluation of quality deficiency reports, and identification of alternate sources of supply for diminishing manufacturing and materiel shortages.
• Execute network analysis for the Kuwait Air Operations Center Program, integrating Command and Control Sensor data into a common air picture at the AOC Command Headquarters.
• Analyze multiple system requirements for integration in a network environment, including situations involving new and legacy systems and the possible need to implement a cross domain solution.
• Support risk assessments and accreditation activities, evaluate system security controls, and help enforce policies, configurations, and user access standards.
• Monitor for vulnerabilities, support incident response actions, maintain compliance artifacts, and support secure system design efforts.
• Work with the Information System Security Manager (ISSM) to ensure systems meet DoD and Air Force cybersecurity requirements, align with RMF, and maintain confidentiality, integrity, and availability of critical networks and data.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s Degree in a related field and 12 years of experience in the respective technical or professional discipline being performed, with five of those years in the DoD.
• Or, 15 years of directly related experience with proper certifications as described in the PWS labor category performance requirements, including eight years in the DoD.
• Proof of U.S. Citizenship or U.S. Permanent Residency.
