• Analyze equipment and software deficiencies; make recommendations for equipment and software deficiency corrections; and develop, integrate, and test equipment and software deficiency solutions.
• Assist the Government in the engineering evaluation of prime and subcontractor recommendations for operational and support issues such as: evaluations of ECPs, CCPs, modification proposals, diminishing manufacturing sources, program risk.
• Apply disciplined engineering to assure Operational Safety, Suitability and Effectiveness (OSS&E) compliance for all products. Includes OSS&E baseline document, metrics, and working with other organizations.
• Implement avionics subsystem definition, development, integration, all verification methods to include review of ICD, sustainment, modeling/simulation, test and evaluation, and airworthiness certification across a wide range of hardware and software systems.
• Support Aircraft Information Management Systems (AIMS) requirements/testing/certification and spectrum management requirements/testing/certification.
• Support and conduct systems analyses to include, but are not limited to, avionics system design/design feasibility and state-of-the-art assessment.
• Assist the customer in developing systems/subsystem specifications.
• Perform analyses of avionics and subsystems including, but not limited to: system threat analysis, laser systems, computer systems, avionics interfaces, and multiplex bus communications; and identify potential issues and/or areas of improvement.
• Assist in the development and testing of the program system hardware and software and its integration into the program system architecture.
• Support and conduct performance effectiveness, cost effectiveness, cost performance, life-cycle cost, productibility, maintainability, supportability, reliability, technical and schedule risk assessments, and scheduling trade-off studies.
• Review system specific test plans and participate in the conduction of systems, subsystems, and component testing.
