Subject Matter Expert IV
About The Position
Applies knowledge in a technical field with proficiency in relevant engineering principles and practices. Implements solutions to difficult problems, generates concepts as evidenced by product or process improvement, uses engineering/scientific tools to integrate requirements and solve technical problems. Utilizes tools, techniques, processes and/or facilities such as state-of-the-art simulation environments, laboratories, and test facilities. Participates in engineering team activities in a specialized engineering or technology subject area. Contributes to the technical planning process and provides technical guidance. Provide FRMS implementation guidance and support to FAA AFS office for the application review process. This will include state-of-the-art behavior modeling, operational fatigue management research and application, and team performance assessment and maximization. The Contractor must comply with the FAA GUIDELINES FOR REVIEWS OF FATIGUE RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEM APPLICATIONS contained in Attachment A. The contractor will be required to undertake activities in support of the application of FRMS implementation guidance in areas listed below: • Fatigue science training content to AFS staff and others relevant to aviation safety. • Fatigue modeling and assessment using the SAFTE-FAST bio mathematical model of sleep, performance and fatigue. • Fatigue related studies designed to determine the amounts and patterns of sleep obtained by operational personnel, measures of performance, and subjective reports of alertness and fatigue. These data are critical for continuous performance improvement and for validation and calibration of modeling tools used to forecast and manage fatigue. • Assist the FAA with the development of fatigue management and mitigation guidance initiatives. The contractor will provide subject matter experts (SMEs) in fatigue science and related modeling to assist the FAA FRMS review, evaluation and implementation process. The contractor will provide FRMS application review support based on the following: • Assist the government in meeting support and teleconferences per application which includes meeting preparation and documentation of major comments and conclusions • Assist the government in reviewing data from active exemptions.
