“Train Like You Fight, and Fight Like You Train” When a fighter pilot engages a real threat, the quality of their training can determine whether the mission succeeds or fails. Our pilots need effective, realistic training to prepare for the threats they face today – and those they may have to face tomorrow.
The Air Combat Test & Training (ACTT) Engineering Department specializes in developing state-of-the-art products for cryptographic, datalink, networking, and command and control applications. Focused on U.S. military communication systems, navigation systems, and networks, we guide products from concept phase through accreditation to factory production. This includes design, analysis, test, and certification, integrating them into the Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) Training Environment. Positioned in the Mission Systems business unit, our role involves addressing challenges such as developing next-generation secure aircraft instrumentation for the next generation, LVC for test and training, and crafting product roadmaps and architectures.
The US Training Systems Engineering Team within ACTT is looking for a Systems Engineering Co-Op to join our team as we provide technical excellence in a rapidly growing Air Combat Training market for system of systems requirements, design, verification, accreditation, and sustainment efforts. As a platform-level systems team, we have direct customer and end-user interaction and coordination across subsystem teams and stakeholders. Our team culture is highly collaborative and uses a tailored version of the Scaled Agile Framework to meet our program goals. This role is located onsite in Cedar Rapids, IA.
Immerse yourself in a full-time, Monday-Friday co-op session, that will run May/June- December (including the Fall semester; it is expected students will take a semester off from coursework to fully engage with this working mentorship opportunity).
What You Will Do
Support system verification and validation, and evaluate alternatives solutions to issue resolution, including cost and risk, for supportability and system impact.
Collect data and perform standard analysis of data, identifying findings as appropriate.
Perform analysis of the system including concept, design, modeling, test, installation, operation, maintenance and disposal.
Perform technical planning in an Agile team environment.
Consider and evaluate alternative accounting for similar metrics and feedback.
Follow configuration process, perform functional analysis, timeline analysis, and provide input on trade studies.
Support requirement allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications.
