Value of Position (VoP): 93

Qualifications/Requirements:

Join the Department of the Air Force's Portfolio Acquisition Executive for Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management (DAF PAE C3BM). We are the integrating tech hub responsible for architecting the future of airpower. Our mission is to deliver the DAF BATTLE NETWORK-a massive, system-of-systems enterprise that connects sensors, platforms, and decision-makers globally to provide resilient decision advantage against rapidly evolving threats.

Our Culture: The "Square Peg" Philosophy

We operate with a dynamic, fast-moving mentality inside the Department of War. We actively seek "Square Pegs"-innovators from non-traditional backgrounds who can integrate into and reshape legacy "round hole" bureaucratic systems to achieve the mission. We are guided by:

Deliver, Deliver, Deliver: We prioritize fielding immediate, highly useful tech over waiting for multi-year "perfect" paper designs.

Extreme Teaming: Collaboration weaponizes the enterprise.

Ruthless Focus Violent Execution: Vision without execution is hallucination. We cut through the noise and get it done.

Stay Sharp: We demand disruptive thinking and data-driven decisions.

If you want to work on cutting-edge systems at a scale that dwarfs the private sector, you belong here.

Job Duties:

As the Lead Systems Engineer for the Integrated Broadcast Service (IBS) program (assigned to the C3BM Command Control Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C2ISR) Division), you will serve as the premier IBS Subject Matter Expert (SME) driving innovation to reshape legacy systems and deliver cutting-edge capabilities at a scale that matters.

Your key responsibilities include:

Driving the Technical Vision: As the lead technical authority for the IBS program, you will provide the engineering leadership and oversight for a complex, multi-sensor System of Systems (SoS). Your vision will guide the development and integration of systems that disseminate critical threat warnings and blue force tracking information directly to the warfighter.

Accelerating System Delivery: You will act as the primary catalyst for the systems engineering, development, testing, and lifecycle support of the IBS. Your role is to eliminate technical silos, synchronize diverse interdisciplinary teams, and accelerate decision-making to ensure the program meets its cost, schedule, and performance goals.

Hacking the Integration Challenge: Aggressively resolve complex integration bottlenecks at the system and enterprise levels. You will be responsible for synchronizing the planning, operation, and execution of sensors, assets, and Processing, Exploitation, and Dissemination (PED) systems to ensure seamless support for joint operations.

Cross-Functional Leadership: You will guide and direct diverse, interdisciplinary teams, leveraging and coordinating technical support across external program offices, Major Commands (MAJCOMs), research labs, and defense contractors. Your leadership will be crucial in resolving complex resource constraints to achieve optimal mission outcomes.

Executive Stakeholder Communication: Serve as the primary bridge between the deep technical details of the IBS program and a wide range of stakeholders. You will translate complex engineering challenges, risks, and progress into actionable strategy for internal and external partners across all organizational levels.

Qualifications:

Extensive experience (10+ years) in electronic and software systems engineering-specifically in networks, communications, navigation, tactical radios, system integration, and distributed missions as they relate to the lifecycle management of networked systems.

Defense acquisition experience with new development projects is highly desired.

Proven leadership capabilities to guide and direct diverse, interdisciplinary teams in resolving complex cost, schedule, performance, and resource constraints for optimal mission outcomes.
