Senior Avionics Integration Engineer - F-15

Senior Avionics Integration Engineer on the F-15 contract with Astrion, onsite at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH, supporting the Air Force Division with a focus on radar and EW sensor integration, avionics subsystem development, and verification across hardware and software.

Responsibilities

• Act as the primary technical interface between Government customers and radar manufacturers, participating in meetings, providing technical guidance, and producing detailed technical deliverables.
• Carry out avionics engineering with a strong emphasis on radar and EW sensor integration.
• Develop, review, and update avionics engineering documentation and assist in drafting system and subsystem specifications and related engineering artifacts for milestone reviews.
• Lead the development and testing of program hardware and software and their integration into the overall program system architecture.
• Attend technical reviews and advise on the path to installing new hardware and software.
• Support and conduct assessments covering performance, cost effectiveness, life-cycle cost, producibility, maintainability, reliability, supportability, technical risk, and schedule risk, including trade-off studies.
• Support hardware and software development and related system ground and flight test activities, including hardware-in-the-loop, subsystem integration labs, developmental T&E, and initial operational T&E activities.
• Perform systems analyses such as avionics design feasibility, state-of-the-art assessments, system capacity analysis, evaluating alternative solutions and architecture tradeoffs, and documenting operations concept results.
• Analyze avionics and subsystems for threats, laser systems, computer systems, avionics interfaces, and multiplex data bus communications.

Requirements

• Undergraduate ABET-accredited degree and at least 10 years of relevant experience.
• DoD or DoD-related experience.
• Knowledge of avionics engineering across subsystem definition, development, integration, and all verification methods including ICD reviews, sustainment, Modeling, Simulation and Analysis (MS&A), T&E, and airworthiness certification for a wide range of hardware and software; strong radar theory and principles and an understanding of radar design, development, and implementation processes.
