Responsibilities:

• Develop and integrate new capabilities and subsystems into military systems, including the design of inter-software interfaces, inter subsystem interfaces (e.g., data, interconnects, messaging, middleware), aircraft to subsystem integration, pilot vehicle interface and test/instrumentation systems integration.
• Serve as a technical expert on assigned projects and systems including keeping up to date on use cases, system capabilities, system interfaces, engineering tools, and road maps for current and future updates.
• Serve as a technical expert for a specific engineering specialty (e.g. safety engineering, hardware/software interface, digital engineering).
• Isolate hardware and software component anomalies.
• Analyze flight and laboratory data to ensure system requirements are satisfied.
• Develop scripts and tools to analyze flight and laboratory data.
• Ensure that all technical work is developed to meet military, safety, and security standards.
• Design and manage the laboratory configurations for assigned projects.
• Lead cross-discipline project teams.
