Journeyman Avionics Engineer (Computer Systems and Software Airworthiness)Guidehouse

What You Will Do:

• Apply DoDD 5000series guidance and AFMC/AFLCMC engineering policies to acquisition engineering activities.

• Design, develop, integrate and test Computer Systems & Software, to ensure adequate performance, safety, integrity, and airworthiness.

• Assess hardware, software, and systems qualification to meet airworthiness criteria, especially criteria in MIL-HBK-516, section 15.

• Support development and analysis of system and subsystem requirements, translating them into design criteria and system specifications.

• Conduct technical planning, system integration analyses, trade studies, and risk assessments across weapon system platforms.

• Assist in developing system performance requirements, integration objectives, and estimates for design, development, and sustainment.

• Review engineering proposals, designs, specifications, and change packages; provide recommendations to optimize cost, schedule, and performance.

• Support engineering reviews, design reviews, Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs), working groups, and program reviews, providing technical input, documentation, and reporting.

• Support systems and avionics engineering across requirements, design, integration, development, modification, test, airworthiness, production, sustainment, deployment, operations, and divestiture.

• Coordinate with acquisition organizations, higher headquarters, DoW entities, labs, industry, and universities; support documentation and emerging technology assessments.

• Apply systems engineering processes for airworthiness, requirements, software releases, metrics and traceability, allocations, program protection, technical reviews, configuration audits, design analysis, interface integration, and test verification/validation.

• Support development, deployment, and sustainment of technical processes ensuring safe operation and maintenance of systems.

What You Will Need:

• Must be able to OBTAIN and MAINTAIN a Federal or DoD "TOP SECRET with SCI eligibility" security clearance; candidates must obtain approved adjudication of their TOP SECRET clearance prior to onboarding with Guidehouse. Candidates with an TOP SECRET with SCI eligibility clearance are preferred.
