Define high‑level and detailed network architectures, interfaces, protocols, and topology for fixed‑ and rotary‑wing platforms and missionized aircraft.
Lead requirements decomposition, traceability, and verification activities with systems engineering and software/hardware teams.
Specify and select network hardware, switches, routers, gateways, line‑replaceable units (LRUs), and RF/C4ISR interfaces.
Ensure cyber security and information assurance compliance across network designs (segmentation, encryption, key management, DoD/industry standards).
Develop and maintain architecture artifacts: diagrams, interface control documents (ICDs), data flow models, fault‑management plans, and test cases.
Collaborate with Avionics, Systems Integration, Flight Controls, Mission Systems, and Program Management to align network architecture with overall system objectives.
Provide technical leadership during integration, lab testing, flight test, and fielding; troubleshoot complex network issues.
Mentor junior engineers and lead technical reviews, trade studies, and design reviews.
Support proposals, cost estimates, and technical briefs for customers and internal stakeholders.
Basic Qualifications
Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or a non‑US equivalent qualification directly related to the work statement.
10+ years of experience in aircraft or aerospace network architecture, avionics, or complex embedded networking systems.
Preferred Qualifications
Master’s degree in a relevant field.
Prior experience working on aircraft programs, ISR, C4ISR, missionized platforms, or similar defense aviation projects.
Familiarity with software‑defined networking (SDN), Time‑Sensitive Networking (TSN), ARINC 825 (CAN in avionics), and publish/subscribe middleware (DDS).
Hands‑on experience with network test equipment, lab automation, and simulation tools.
Experience developing and reviewing ICDs, safety assessments (FMEA/FTA), and reliability analyses.
Strong background in IP networking, routing, switching, VLANs, multicast, QoS, timing/synchronization (PTP/NTP), and network management.
Experience with cyber security practices and standards relevant to defense systems (e.g., DoD RMF, STIGs, NIAP, AES, IPsec).
Proven experience in system‑level integration, ICD development, and support of verification & validation (V&V) including lab and flight test.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills; ability to present architecture to technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
Additional Information This position is 100% onsite in either Hazelwood or Berkeley, MO. Successful candidates must satisfy the company’s Conflict of Interest assessment process and comply with our Drug‑Free Workplace policies.
Security Clearance: Requires an active U.S. Secret Security Clearance (U.S. Citizenship Required). A clearance active in the past 24 months is considered active.
