• Assist in reviewing, developing, and updating applicable program documentation for systems engineering relevant requirements/issues
• Participate in and assist in the planning of systems engineering risk assessments by establishing a risk management review, coordinating action item status, and updating risk management metrics
• Assist the program office Airworthiness Certification Working Group (ACWG) by assisting in the support, development, and maintenance of a comprehensive Modification Airworthiness Criteria Certification (MACC) compliance package and assist in conducting an airworthiness risk assessment
• Produce draft documentation as requested or necessitated by programmatic limits based on cost, schedule, and performance to support the airworthiness process
• Review and assist in performing assessments on program specific databases, analyzing BIT failure reports, and comparing failure reports against the BIT interpreter analyzer for accuracy of BIT indications
• Provide system integration guidance to aircraft program offices for the program system installation and system maintenance
• Review and analyze technical proposals or modifications for design feasibility and system capability
• Assist in conducting performance effectiveness, cost effectiveness, cost performance, life-cycle cost, producibility, maintainability, supportability, reliability, technical and schedule risk assessments, and scheduling trade-off studies; and conducting systems analyses to including but not limited to system design/design feasibility and state-of-the-art assessments
• Provide system integration guidance to the Government for the program system installation and system maintenance
• Assist in reviewing and analyzing OEM technical proposals or modifications for design feasibility and system capability
• Assist in performance effectiveness, cost effectiveness, cost performance, life- cycle cost, producibility, maintainability, supportability, reliability, technical and schedule risk assessments, and scheduling trade-off studies
• Assist in systems analyses to including but not limited to system design/design feasibility and state-of-threat assessments
• Provide technical expertise and proper application of systems engineering processes to support technology and systems development
• Assist in defining the maturation of technology development and technical risk reduction efforts; and evaluating and managing requirements, functional and physical architectures, and interfaces
• Assist in managing the technical issues that arise as a result of the integration processes using a systems approach
• Assist in developing a SEP to address the technical strategy of the development efforts
• Employ procedures, methods, and tools for measuring technical progress and assist in assessing the effectiveness of plans and solutions
• Assist in the development and review of the overall system design baseline (architecture and interoperability requirements)
• Assist in developmental planning support in evaluation of the military mission to be accomplished and any related requirements documentation
• Assist in reviewing and analyzing proposals, including regulatory and other policy driver changes or proposed modifications, for design feasibility and system compatibility
• Assist with the core engineering tasks as they relate to system design engineering
