Job Title: Systems & Software Engineer

The Systems & Software Engineer provides critical engineering support for the design, development, integration, testing, evaluation, and sustainment of software and systems supporting U.S. Air Force (AF) and joint service weapon systems. This role requires a strong foundation in systems engineering, software engineering, and software assurance, combined with knowledge of aeronautics, avionics, and airworthiness certification.

The ideal candidate will support the full system lifecycle-from requirements analysis and acquisition planning through deployment and sustainment-while ensuring mission readiness, system safety, regulatory compliance, and long-term sustainability of advanced aerospace and ground-based systems.

• Support the design, development, testing, evaluation, implementation, maintenance, and administration of complex software and system solutions.
• Translate user needs and operational requirements into detailed system, subsystem, and software requirements.
• Provide technical support for systems acquisition, requirements analysis and allocation, system architecture, and hardware/software integration.
• Analyze system and software deficiencies, recommend corrective actions, and support implementation of solutions.
• Apply knowledge of software and systems engineering principles across the full development lifecycle.
• Support technical reviews and program milestones, including SRR, PDR, CDR, and PMRs.

• Apply expertise in software assurance practices, tools, and methodologies to ensure system integrity and compliance.
• Utilize tools such as:
  • Source code analyzers
  • Binary analyzers
  • Architecture and design analysis tools
  • Origin and weakness analyzers
• Ensure compliance with applicable DoD, Air Force, and industry software assurance standards.

• Apply knowledge of aeronautical systems, avionics, and operational flight programs for airborne and ground systems.
• Support integration and performance of mission-critical avionics and software systems.
• Contribute to system-level design, interoperability, and verification activities.

• Apply MIL-HDBK-516C Airworthiness Certification Criteria and AFPD 62-6 to aircraft systems.
• Support system safety engineering activities, including hazard analysis and mishap risk assessments.
• Assist in managing Operational Safety, Suitability, and Effectiveness (OSS&E) and system integrity programs (e.g., MECSIP).
• Maintain Critical Safety Item (CSI) tracking and support airworthiness certification processes.

• Support development of acquisition strategies, Request for Proposals (RFPs), and key program documentation such as:
  • System Engineering Plan (SEP)
  • Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP)
  • Software Development Plan (SDP)
• Perform technical evaluations, trade studies, and cost estimation analyses to support design reviews and milestone decisions.
• Provide engineering support during contractor source selections.
• Evaluate Integrated Master Plans/Schedules (IMP/IMS) and support program execution.

• Develop, review, and maintain technical documentation, including:
  • System specifications
  • Interface Control Documents (ICDs)
  • Security classification guides
• Prepare technical reports, staff packages, and executive briefings to support leadership decision-making.
• Analyze and evaluate contractor deliverables, including ECPs, CCPs, and regulatory bulletins.

• Implement and adhere to Life Cycle Systems Engineering (LCSE) and OSS&E processes.
• Support configuration management, risk management, and data management activities.
• Participate in process improvement initiatives, including value stream mapping and continuous improvement efforts.

• Participate in cross-functional engineering teams, technical reviews, and working groups.
• Collaborate with government, contractor, and stakeholder teams to ensure mission success.
• Communicate complex technical concepts clearly through written and verbal means.
