  • Perform system-level analysis of airborne weather radar capabilities, including performance, interfaces, operational effectiveness, reliability, maintainability, obsolescence, and lifecycle considerations.
  • Lead technical assessments and trade studies to evaluate modernization, replacement, integration, and sustainment alternatives.
  • Analyze and document system interfaces between weather radar systems and aircraft avionics, displays, navigation systems, mission systems, and other platform subsystems.
  • Develop and review system specifications, Interface Requirements Documents (IRDs), technical data packages, test plans, verification procedures, and other engineering artifacts.
  • Provide technical leadership during engineering reviews, IPT meetings, Technical Exchange Meetings, and contractor engagements.
  • Support the development, evaluation, and disposition of Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs), Requests for Information, technical directives, and other engineering change documentation.
  • Support hardware and software integration activities and assess impacts to aircraft architecture and existing technical baselines.
  • Support developmental, integration, ground, flight, and operational test activities and analyze results to identify deficiencies and corrective actions.
  • Identify and manage technical risks, issues, dependencies, and system-level impacts, providing recommendations for mitigation and resolution.
  • Support airworthiness, certification, and aircraft modification activities associated with weather radar integration.
  • Conduct technical evaluations of contractor proposals, engineering products, and technical deliverables.
  • Support acquisition planning, market research, Analysis of Alternatives (AoA), and other technical decision-support activities.
  • Provide clear technical recommendations and brief complex engineering issues to Government and senior leadership.
  • Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and provide systems engineering leadership across the PMA-207 engineering team.

Required Education:
  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or another relevant engineering discipline.

Required Experience:
  • 12+ years of progressive systems engineering experience, including experience serving in a senior engineering or technical leadership capacity.
  • Demonstrated experience supporting the development, integration, modernization, test, or sustainment of airborne weather radar systems.
  • Extensive experience applying systems engineering principles across the system lifecycle.
  • Experience with requirements development and management, interface analysis, technical baseline management, verification, and validation.
  • Experience supporting military aircraft, avionics, or other complex aerospace systems.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently lead complex technical efforts with limited oversight.
  • Experience coordinating technical activities across Government, OEM, prime contractor, and other stakeholder organizations.
  • Strong technical writing, analytical, communication, and briefing skills.

Desired Qualifications:
  • Master's degree in Systems Engineering or related technical discipline
  • Experience supporting PMA-207 or other Naval Aviation program offices.
  • Direct experience with military or commercial airborne weather radar systems.
  • Experience with radar modes and capabilities, including weather detection, turbulence detection, ground mapping, and associated radar processing.
  • Experience with aircraft avionics interfaces and architectures, including MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429, Ethernet, or other aircraft data bus architectures.
  • Experience supporting aircraft airworthiness and certification activities.
  • Experience with radar modernization, technology refresh, obsolescence management, and lifecycle sustainment.
  • Experience with system architecture development and technical trade studies.
  • Experience using systems engineering and requirements management tools such as DOORS, Cameo, or similar applications.
  • Familiarity with DoD and Naval Aviation acquisition and engineering processes.
  • INCOSE certification or equivalent systems engineering credentials.
