About The Position

Astrion is hiring a Senior General/Interdisciplinary Engineer to support the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center/PEO Electronic Systems Directorate (AFLCMC/ES) at Hanscom Air Force Base in Massachusetts. The position is full-time and hybrid, requires an active Secret clearance, involves 20% travel, and is contingent on position award. The salary range is $135,000–$145,000. The role supports the Air Force Program Execution Office for PEO Electronic Systems, which manages and executes modernization, development, testing, production, fielding, and sustainment for a portfolio of more than 130 programs serving the U.S. Air Force and foreign allies. The engineer will provide systems engineering and technical support throughout acquisition and sustainment, including architecture and requirements work, technical analysis and documentation, acquisition activities, testing, risk and configuration management, and coordination with government, contractor, and operational stakeholders. The position also supports network analysis for the Kuwait Air Operations Center Program, integrating command-and-control sensor data into a common air picture. Relevant work includes assessing network connectivity, COMSEC impacts, interfaces, differing data sets, integration requirements across new and legacy systems, and potential cross-domain solutions.
