The Tactical Aerospace Department is a premier supplier for aerospace quality technology on new and legacy DoD systems. This includes avionics, mission LRU's, flight worthy payloads, ground aerospace systems, and cutting edge third generation AI/ML for DoD platforms. The position is responsible for developing system level and LRU architectures, leading the development of CONOPS, and guiding multi-disciplinary engineering teams to develop hardware, firmware, and software for complex flight worthy avionics/mission LRU's/payload hardware. The role requires direct interaction with clients to establish system requirements and architectures, providing technical project leadership throughout each program, and utilizing Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) processes to support system designs/architectures.

  • Develop System level and LRU Architectures.
  • Lead the development of CONOPS, develop requirements, allocate requirements to engineering teams, and test LRU/Systems.
  • Guide multi-disciplinary engineering teams to develop hardware, firmware, and software for complex flight worthy avionics/mission LRU's/payload hardware.
  • Interact directly with clients to establish system requirements and architectures to meet client expectations.
  • Provide technical project leadership throughout each program.
  • Utilize Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) processes to support system designs/architectures.
  • Support department management in specific marketing activities, proposal development of embedded avionics programs, and in the development of product/technical roadmaps.
  • Lead a multi-disciplinary team to develop, integrate, and test embedded complex flight worthy systems.
  • Meet with internal and external customers to establish system technical requirements and facilitate development of specification documents and system architectures.
  • Lead trade analyses within and across the relevant domains.
  • Work with stakeholders to allocate functions to components/systems and develop those allocations into requirements for the engineers, designers, and managers.
  • Requires a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Data Analytics or equivalent degree field.
  • Fundamental understanding of MOSA, SOSA, FACE, and GRA architectures.
  • 10+ years: Experience developing, deriving, and allocating tiered Systems Engineering requirements in Avionics applications/LRU's.
  • Broad, basic understanding of engineering activities/disciplines in avionics development (e.g. Systems, Hardware Development, Firmware, software, Integration, Testing, Bid and Proposal efforts, CONOPS, Qualification, Certification, System Safety, FMEA, Lab activities, etc).
  • Experience developing Architectures and basic/Intermediate experience with Model Based System Engineering (MBSE).
  • A valid/clear driver's license is required.
