About The Position

Torch Technologies is seeking an Electrical/Electronic Engineer SME to provide support to the Air Force at Eglin AFB, FL, under the Technical and Management Advisory Services (TMAS) Armament Task Order contract. This role involves supporting the Science and Technology (S&T) community in developing advanced weapon concepts and technologies to improve weapon performance and integration. The engineer will assist in identifying, developing, and implementing technology investment ideas to address warfighter capability gaps, including defining scope of work, budget, schedule, and risk. Responsibilities also include generating system and subsystem requirements based on threat analysis, warfighter needs, and emerging technologies, as well as performing complex system and subsystem tradeoff studies. The position requires preparing technical documents, monitoring S&T development progress, evaluating requirements and design documents for completeness and traceability, and reviewing hardware/software development plans. The engineer will also review interface specifications, provide advice in technical meetings, monitor test planning and conduct, review test plans and reports, and provide on-site test support (ground and flight). Additionally, the role involves designing, planning, and supporting in-house tests to measure performance, analyze results, and report findings.

Requirements
