What is an Oconus ISR pilot?

An OCONUS ISR (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) Pilot operates unmanned or manned aircraft outside the continental United States (OCONUS) to conduct surveillance and reconnaissance missions. These pilots support military or government operations, gathering critical intelligence in various environments. They work in high-tempo deployments, often in conflict zones or strategic areas. The role requires FAA certifications, military or contractor experience, and proficiency in ISR mission systems.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an Oconus ISR pilot?

To thrive as an Oconus ISR Pilot, you need a commercial or military pilot's license (often with multi-engine and instrument ratings), experience in intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) operations, and a strong understanding of aviation safety protocols. Familiarity with ISR platforms, mission planning software, secure communications, sensor systems, and compliance with FAA and international aviation regulations is typically required. Outstanding situational awareness, cultural adaptability, teamwork, and the ability to make sound decisions under pressure are critical soft skills for this position. These skills and qualifications are essential for safely operating missions in overseas environments and ensuring successful collection and delivery of vital intelligence data.

What are some typical challenges faced by Oconus ISR pilots working overseas?

Oconus ISR Pilots often operate in diverse and sometimes austere or rapidly changing environments, which can include unfamiliar airspace and varied regulatory conditions. Adapting to different time zones, weather patterns, and operational requirements can be demanding, and missions may require extended periods away from home. Collaboration with multinational teams or local agencies is common, requiring strong communication and cultural sensitivity. The ability to quickly respond to mission updates and ensure both aircraft and data security is crucial to success. Applicants should be prepared for a dynamic, mission-driven work environment where flexibility and professionalism are essential.

SALARY RANGE:
*depending on experience, certifications, and qualifications
JOB STATUS: Full-Time
CLEARANCE: Secret
TRAVEL: Limited; As Needed
Astrion has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Systems Engineer located at the Hanscom AFB in Bedford Massachusetts providing support to the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center/ISR SOF (AFLCMC/HB). The Air Force Program Execution Office for Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance and Special Operations (PEO ISR SOF) has the collective Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) mission responsibility to manage and execute the modernization, development, testing, production, fielding, and sustainment of the ISR SOF portfolio, which includes over 200 programs for the United States Air Force (USAF) and foreign allies. AFLCMC/PEO ISR SOF is headquartered at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, OH with geographically separated operating units CONUS and OCONUS. This position supports the AWACS (E3) and Wedgetail (E7), and the International Airborne Battle Management Command and Control (FMS) Division; AFLMC(WIW). The WIW Division located at Tinker AFB (OK), and Hanscom AFB (MA), with dispersed support at Eglin AFB, Seattle WA, San Antonio TX and several OCONUS positions.
This is a full-time position located at Hanscom AFB. This position will specifically support the E7 program office, This position requires support in the arena of Joint Simulation and Modeling and Simulation. The E7 Wedgetail is a new aircraft, and the Program Office needs to define the requirements and establish an environment capable of computer-based modeling focusing on the acquisition documentation required for a new major acquisition program entering the major milestone decision process. The focus currently will be defining the requirements for the E-7 OFT and VMT, providing COAs for Level D certification including the tasks required to achieve level D and type of data required, certification of models used in the SIL for verification testing, and installation of the GSDL.
REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS / SKILLS:
  • Must have and be able to mintain an active Secret clearance
  • Must be a US citizen

Minimum Required Qualifications:
Education: Bachelor's degree in a related field and 12 years of experience in the respective technical/professional discipline being performed, five of which must be in the DoD OR
    • 15 years of directly related experience, eight of which must be in the DoD

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS / SKILLS:
  • Education: Master's degree in a professional engineering discipline from an ABET-accredited educational program along with at least 10 years of experience in the respective technical/professional discipline being performed, 5 of which must be in the DoD
  • Experienced in requirements development, production and deployment, and operation and support, architectures development & implementation, modeling & simulation including but not limited to Model Based Systems Engineering principles, verification & validation, technical data package development and sustainment, and principles of configuration management
