Responsibilities
SIL Operations and Testing Management:
Establish system readiness and conduct readiness assessments to begin integration lab operations Testing execution:
Execute system-level tests using full mission configuration to verify operational capability including test coordination, scenario execution, and system performance validation Configuration status:
Validate SIL configuration and calibration status prior to formal testing, confirming configuration baseline, software versions, and equipment readiness Laboratory operations:
Manage day-to-day operations of the ASRR Systems Integration Lab ensuring adequate resources for testing GCS functionality and cybersecurity requirements including correct software versions, server hardware, and lab equipment Subsystem coordination:
Coordinate integration testing between ASRR subsystems including aerostat, ISR sensors, ELINT, and ground control elements Configuration Management and Baseline Control
Configuration procedures:
Establish and manage configuration procedures for both SIL development and ongoing operations including CM process documentation, version control implementation, and baseline establishment procedures Baseline integrity:
Manage formal design baseline definition, design freeze coordination, and configuration item identification while maintaining baseline integrity As-built validation:
Ensure SIL implementation aligns with established design baseline through as-built documentation review, physical configuration audits, component verification, and discrepancy resolution Quality Assurance and Installation Oversight
QA oversight:
Provide QA oversight during SIL setup including installation inspection, workmanship verification, safety compliance checks, and non-conformance tracking Test data integrity:
Maintain quality and reliability of test data during and after test execution through data accuracy validation, anomaly investigation, and coordination with test teams to ensure trustworthy outputs Cybersecurity:
Implement cybersecurity requirements and ensure secure operations within the SIL environment Documentation and Partner Coordination
Documentation:
Generate formal documentation and manage acceptance of SIL verification results including test report compilation, acceptance criteria verification, and stakeholder approval coordination Partner status tracking:
Track status of partner development efforts to understand impact on future dependent activities and mitigate potential problems Interface documentation:
Develop and track status of Interface Design Documents Interface coordination:
Coordinate integration activities between multiple contractors and ensure interface compatibility System Development and Integration
System specifications:
Contribute to the creation of system specifications, architecture, and requirements documentation for ISR systems, ensuring solutions meet operational needs Testing and verification:
Support system-level testing and verification efforts for ISR technologies, ensuring systems operate effectively in operational environments Troubleshooting:
Troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues related to ISR systems integration and performance Standards and regulations:
Ensure all ISR system components comply with military standards (MIL-STD, MIL-PRF) and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) regulations Field Support and Customer Interface
On-site support:
Provide on-site technical support during deployment, fielding, and operational use of ISR systems Customer liaison:
Serve as technical point of contact for U.S. Army personnel and foreign military clients, providing updates on system performance and integration progress Training development:
Assist in development and delivery of training materials to ensure military personnel are prepared to operate and maintain ISR systems Risk management:
Participate in risk assessments and develop mitigation strategies for system integration and performance issues Required Qualifications
Education:
Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Information Systems, or related STEM field Experience:
Minimum 10 years of experience in applied systems engineering methodology with focus on integration and testing of complex systems; demonstrated experience managing integration laboratories and test facilities; experience with ISR technologies such as EO/IR, radar, SIGINT, or similar sensor systems; proven track record in configuration management and quality assurance processes Technical Skills:
Hands-on experience with integration and testing of ISR systems on military platforms (ground, air, or naval); solid understanding of communication systems and data processing technologies; experience with laboratory management, test equipment, and calibration processes; advanced computer skills and ability to quickly learn new engineering software tools Tools and Management:
Applied experience in systems engineering lifecycle management tools such as Innoslate MBSE, Cameo Magic Draw, DOORS Next, or equivalent; experience with configuration management tools and version control systems; knowledge of military standards (MIL-STD, MIL-PRF) and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) regulations; understanding of cybersecurity requirements and secure facility operations Communication and Leadership:
Strong verbal and written communication skills with ability to interface with military personnel, foreign clients, and cross-functional engineering teams; experience coordinating activities across multiple organizations and managing stakeholder relationships; strong analytical skills and ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues in both lab and operational settings; ability to travel to military installations and overseas locations as required to support the project Additional Requirements:
