F-15 EW Systems Engineer — Mission Data & Testing

The successful candidate will assist the 350th Spectrum Warfare Group (350 SWG), at Eglin AFB, Florida. The 350 SWG is the technical focal point for all electronic warfare (EW) support of warfighter systems for the Combat Air Forces (CAF) fighter, bomber, airborne surveillance and helicopter platforms. Essential Job Functions: The mission of the 350 SWG is to develop and test mission data (MD) to identify and/or defeat enemy radar and infrared guided missile systems, thus enhancing aircrew and aircraft survivability in combat. This mission includes operational EW testing, MD development/validation/verification, force development evaluation execution and facilitating foreign materiel exploitation. Conducts EW research, MD development and MD testing. Supports EW system programming/reprogramming, works with EW system engineers to coordinate programming/reprogramming requirements, prepares validation and verification test plans, participates in ground and flight-testing, and organizes and participates in MD configuration control boards. The successful candidate will assist with the collection, recording, and post-test analysis of data generated during MD testing. Conduct intelligence data mining and analysis. Analyze EW threat waveform and reprogram parametric data into mission data file (MDF) via Specialized Electronic Combat Tools and Reprogramming Environment (SPECTRE) module. Conduct validation & verification of MDF via characterization, correlation, compatibility testing using software-in-the-loop (SITL) and hardware-in-the-loop (HITL). Required Skills: Due to the sensitivity of customer related requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required. Bachelors of Science Degree in Engineering with 2 years of experience. Top Secret security clearance.. Demonstrated ability to recognize and analyze problems, conduct research, summarize results, and make appropriate recommendations.
