About The Position

Torch Technologies has an exciting opportunity for an Application Software Engineer, Senior located Kettering, OH (Dayton/WPAFB area) to support our EPASS GB contract. As part of the AFLCMC/GB Business and Enterprise Systems Directorate (BES), FLITES is a new system within the AF to manage Item Master data. The FLITES will provide comprehensive Item Catalog and Provisioning functions for the Logistics business systems, and will replace the Item Management Control System (IMCS) suite of legacy systems, at a minimum. FLITES will be the central repository for the Item core business objects, providing standardization of Item cataloging processes, structure, attributes, propagation, and standardized views for all applicable Item types. Additionally, FLITES will receive product structure input from an engineering Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) type system. Foundational Logistics Information Technology Enterprise System (FLITES) is the Item data as a core underlying need for each Capability Initiative (CI), and as such will integrate with many logistics enterprise systems. The Air Force wants to rapidly modernize its enterprise logistics systems, most of which require Item data. The new FLITES will provide essential functionality of the legacy IMCS more efficiently and effectively in addition to implementing new functionality as described below. Without this support to the Program Management Office (PMO) under GBS, the Government would not be able to complete the required documentation, reporting, and program management support required for a Business Acquisition Category (BCAT) II program. This system will have high visibility following the 5000.75 process.
