ASRC Federal Advanced Research supports the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) National Airspace System (NAS) Second Level Engineering Support (SLES) contract. We are seeking a highly motivated Computer Scientist to support the NEXRAD Radar Operations Center (ROC) in Norman, Oklahoma.

This is a Computer Scientist position supporting a Configuration Management group. The selected candidate will play a key role in ensuring system integrity, interface compliance, traceability, and successful delivery of software and hardware updates across the NEXRAD enterprise.

Responsibilities:

• Provide Configuration Management (CM) support across the full system lifecycle, including configuration planning, identification, control, auditing, and status accounting.
• Establish, manage, and maintain configuration baselines for hardware, software, documentation, and system artifacts to ensure traceability and integrity.
• Support and execute change control processes, including the review, approval, implementation, and tracking of engineering changes, deviations, and waivers.
•  Develop, review, and process Configuration Change Requests (CCRs) and Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) in accordance with program standards.
• Utilize NEXRAD (WSR-88D) CM systems and automated tools (e.g., Razor, DOORS, Agile) to manage configuration data and workflows.
• Provide database support for CM activities, including maintaining data accuracy, consistency, and accessibility.
•  Develop and implement automated metrics and performance tracking tools to monitor CM activities and provide status reporting to stakeholders.
•  Ensure all system changes remain compliant with applicable Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and established configuration baselines.
•  Coordinate CM activities, including facilitating documentation reviews, generating meeting agendas and minutes, tracking action items, and ensuring timely closure.

• Develop, maintain, and support software tools and scripts to automate CM processes, testing workflows, and deployment activities.
• Support integration and configuration of weather radar system components, including RPG (Radar Product Generator) and RDA (Radar Data Acquisition) systems.
• Operate within Linux/UNIX-based environments to build, deploy, and validate system software.

• Create and maintain software media for all phases of system testing (developmental, integration, regression, and operational testing).
• Develop, validate, and deliver RPG/RDA test procedures to the Radar Test Team (RTT) in support of test execution.
• Incorporate redline updates and test discrepancies into procedures and generate revised test documentation.
• Ensure test artifacts are version-controlled, traceable, and aligned with configuration baselines and ICD requirements.

• Plan and execute deployment activities for software and hardware updates across fielded radar systems:
• Create, copy, and verify all deliverable media
• Assemble and package deployment kits
• Generate and manage shipping labels and logistics documentation
• Coordinate with engineering teams, logistics, and field personnel to ensure successful system deployment.

• Identify opportunities to improve CM, testing, and deployment processes through automation and standardization.
• Develop and maintain technical documentation, including procedures, work instructions, and system artifacts.
• Understand Interface Control Documents (ICDs) to ensure proper system integration and interface compatibility.
• Ensure compliance with FAA, program, and industry standards for CM and software quality.

Requirements:

US Citizenship or Permanent Residency required. All applicants must have resided in the United States for the past 3 years.

On-site presence will be as required by the FAA.
