• Consult with the Government to define needs and problems; support studies; and assist in leading surveys to collect and analyze data, provide advice, and recommend solutions.
• Apply DoD, Air Force, and common engineering and scientific principles, processes, and procedures to improve the performance and sustainability of existing and future Air Force and joint‑service weapon systems.
• Translate AFGSC and ACC requirements into weapon‑system requirements used to design, develop, fabricate, test, evaluate, field, and deploy weapon systems, subsystems, and equipment.
• Develop requirements and technology needs into action plans and policies supporting manufacturing, operations, remanufacturing, and demilitarization or disposal of USAF weapon‑system capabilities.
• Conduct technical and mission analyses of operational requirements, develop system concepts, perform technology and trade‑off assessments, and support materiel‑solution analyses and design reviews.
• Provide rapid response engineering support through problem identification, impact assessment, and development of corrective actions for critical supportability issues.
• Develop draft documentation and presentation materials based on program cost, schedule, and performance constraints.
• Produce or review technical evaluations and plans; engineering studies, reports, and analyses; acquisition strategies and plans; requirements and system documents; requests for proposal; systems engineering, reliability, safety, cybersecurity, test, data‑management, and program‑protection documentation; Security Authorization Package documentation; System Security Profiles; Plans of Action and Milestones; Security Assessment Plans; and other required program, technical, and contractor‑produced artifacts.

• Analyze equipment and software deficiencies; recommend corrections; and develop, integrate, and test deficiency solutions.
• Assist with engineering evaluations of prime‑ and subcontractor recommendations for operational and support issues, including ACSNs, ECPs, CCPs, FAA bulletins, modification proposals, DMSMS, program risk, and related documents; serve in an advisory role for engineering‑related source selections as required.
• Support development and evaluation of the Integrated Master Plan, Integrated Master Schedule, Systems Engineering Detail Schedule, and engineering cost estimates.
• Support the system‑safety engineering program, including mishap‑risk assessments, evaluations of contractor safety proposals and analyses, and resolution of high‑priority safety issues.
• Support disciplined engineering activities that assure Operational Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E); follow applicable life‑cycle systems engineering and OSS&E policies; establish and maintain compliant processes; update baseline documentation; identify OSS&E elements; report metrics; and coordinate with partner organizations.
• Assess implementation of the Systems Engineering Plan throughout program operations and notify the Air Force of shortfalls or gaps requiring corrective action.
• Apply MIL-HDBK-516C Airworthiness Certification Criteria to aircraft systems and subsystems; support Air Force Integrity Programs; maintain and update the critical‑safety‑item list; and monitor airworthiness certification for B‑2 aircraft.
• Support establishment of Hardness Maintenance and Hardness Surveillance in accordance with Defense Nuclear Agency-H-93-140 and implementation of design concepts in Air Force Pamphlet 91-118.

• Must have an active or current Top-Secret security clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) eligibility.
• Bachelor’s degree in professional engineering, mathematics, or a science discipline related to cybersecurity engineering.
• A minimum of fifteen (15) years of experience and an ABET accredited bachelor’s degree in engineering.
