B-52 System Integration Engineer (Tinker AFB OK)

Job Description

Job Description

In this role, you will provide full-spectrum Systems Integration Engineer Support to the B-52 Program Office within the US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center. You will apply knowledge and experience in engineering principles, criteria, and procedures to systems, subsystems, and equipment procurement activities, post award project/program management tasks, and acquisition programs throughout their life cycles.

Essential Job Functions:

You will independently accomplish systems engineering analysis on a broad range of aeronautical systems and capability planning to drive timely and cost-effective materiel solutions for existing F/B programs and future programs (e.g. Next Generation Bomber and 2030 Air Dominance programs), with MAJCOM, center, AFRL, and industry partners, from concept identification to system fielding and ensure they are properly aligned with cross-cutting capabilities across the aeronautical enterprise. You will institute a collaborative process bridging warfighter-identified capability requirements to planning for the acquisition of materiel solutions which satisfy the requirement. This includes researching program information, providing systems engineering insight, conducting analyses, and briefing preparation.

You will independently manage interfaces and processes with the development planning, technology, intelligence, acquisition, sustainment, and user communities.

You will independently apply knowledge and experience to the scope of enterprise activities which spans requirements/acquisition and sustainment and includes: understanding doctrine, assisting in identifying and defining requirements; developing horizontally integrated acquisition, sustainment, and investment strategies; integration of technologies; integration of intelligence; and development of sustainment strategies.

You will support development of strategies for cross-cutting capability requirements. You will assist with initiating, writing, reviewing, developing, implementing documentation activities including but not limited to TEMPs, SEPs, RFPs, SOOs, contracting items and data items, test plans, LCMPs, LCSPs Pre-MS A and Pre-MS B documentation as appropriate.

You will support the identification, assessment, and analysis of the future capability solution sets required to support capability requirements. These activities will be critical subject areas during reviews such as program reviews and IBRs. You will review systems engineering initiatives brought about by policy changes to buying commercial items (such as acquisition of NDI, COTS items, and FAA-certified items) and commercial practices (e.g., performance based business environment).

You will assist in managing capability and systems engineering studies that involve multiple divisions.

You will assist in communicating system engineering solutions, risk analysis, and future solutions within the AFLCMC to include programs as well as MAJCOMs, other enterprises, and the Air Staff.

You will assist in transition of programs into and the termination of programs out of the F/B Directorate for use in the field enhancing the warfighters capabilities.

You will assist in planning across Family of Systems (FoS) and Systems of Systems (SoS) Engineering especially in the development of capability management strategies, e.g. airborne electronic attack and others.

You will assist in establishing a capability architect function with each Division to ensure integrated architectures are developed and used as a standard underlying vehicle for cross enterprise comparison, analysis, and integration for the F/B Directorate.

You will assist in developing, improving, and administering technology processes to include applied technology councils, small business innovative research, and/or other initiatives to identify, assess, and submit proposals to the technology community to pursue further.

You will review planning documents (e.g. MNS/ORD/ICD/CDD/CPD) for realistic industrial base execution. You will promote the use of MS&A throughout the acquisition life cycle process and foster the development and maintenance of common use MS&A tools useful to the Government and industry.

You will assist in integration of intelligence information and infrastructure to ensure cross-enterprise capabilities planning and system acquisition.

You will provide a wide range of recommended solution sets for capabilities integration planning. You will organize large and small group briefings for discussions gaining cross-divisional engineering expertise. From these meetings a draft of the permanent record, record discussion content, debrief, and accomplish overall planning will be developed.

You will apply their knowledge of and experience with system integration engineering, coordinating expertise and skills to support the melding of the program technical components and program elements to ensure the elements function together as a system.

You will support review and evaluation of military airworthiness certification documentation, coordinating the developed consensus across engineering disciplines and providing detailed status of airworthiness activities to engineering management.

You will provide in-depth analysis of DoD and USAF policies and processes for USAF and military airworthiness certification, systems engineering and sustainment against accepted industry or military standards; identify gaps and make recommendations.

You will assist with the coordination of the engineering effort to review and evaluate planning for test similar to First Article Test (FAT). You will support the development of a consensus across engineering disciplines on the successful completion of the test similar to FAT and will assist with providing detailed status of the test activities to engineering management.

You will apply knowledge of and support engineering efforts to include FCA/PCA, aircraft and/or simulator certifications, technical evaluation of contractor efforts, environmental and hazardous material management, system safety, risk management, deficiency report resolution, in addition to assisting with the integration of the system mission planning system and periodic update of geospatial data.

You will apply resultant system integration engineering analyses to assist with development of SEPs, an OSS&E baseline, and a plan to provide engineering support for sustainment activities.
