Responsibilities

Performs as the avionics support equipment systems engineer, including ATS Systems Engineer, integrating various engineering disciplines and technical efforts

Formulates solutions and analyzes support equipment for the commodity while stressing reliability, maintainability, safety, quality, operational readiness, and performance

Provides and disseminates specialized technical expertise on support equipment

Applies extensive background and knowledge of support equipment development, Naval Aviation Maintenance Policy, and systems engineering principles

Responsible for all systems engineering aspects, including requirements development, technical planning, and coordination of major programs and projects in avionics commodity support equipment development

Anticipate technical issues that could lead to serious safety, performance or reliability problems and take appropriate action

Recommends project adjustments or redirection as deemed necessary to achieve a satisfactory end result

Resolves risky, out of the ordinary, difficult and controversial equipment and operational problems where guidance is lacking, and minimal information is available

Serve as a systems engineer on unique and specialized assignments requiring innovation/deviation from standard engineering practices in developing new techniques/solutions or changes to existing/proven systems engineering concepts and technical practices. As a result, develop methods and procedures for use by NAVAIR

Translation of an operational need into a configured system through a systematic, concurrent approach

Integration of technical inputs of the matrix and technical disciplines into support equipment design

Ensuring the compatibility of all functional and physical support interfaces (internal and external) and ensuring that definition and design reflect the requirements of all system elements, hardware, software facilities, people and data

Application of technology opportunities

The incumbent is tasked in conjunction with the NAVAIR quality management system by actively participating in the continuous improvement of all forms of work

Participates in teams that search for, identify, and eliminate waste (the difference between the way things are now, and the way they could be or should be if everything were perfect) from all work/business processes

Solves problems effectively by using objective data to generate conclusions. Identifies customers, both internal and external, and meets their needs

Functions as ATS Systems Engineer and is responsible for influencing the design of the avionics commodity system to minimize the requirement for maintenance and related SE

Ensures that supportability, integrated diagnostics and testability are incorporated into avionics system designs

Determines cost effectiveness of greater fault detection/isolation and lower false alarm rates, power on continuous and initiated BIT/BITE required to achieve availability, placement and design of test points to simplify ATE requirements and TPS hardware. This is accomplished by reviewing and preparing portions of the Weapon System Operational Requirement, Test Requirements Documents, ECPs, System Specifications, evaluating proposals during the source selection process, reviewing Test Requirements Documents, reviewing and preparing systems engineering products such as trade studies and task analyses, and participating in aircraft and aircraft system design reviews

When avionics SE is required, the selected candidate analyzes, identifies and validates the necessary support requirements, defines the required design and performance parameters for that equipment based on operational need and standardizes where possible

The candidate’s knowledge of support equipment/supportability and current initiatives to improve the support equipment system is instrumental in mapping out the future of support equipment development. He/she develops new hypotheses, designs or analytical techniques for complex subject matter utilizing critical judgment and systems engineering techniques

Serve as the controlling focal point for all new Support Equipment Recommendation Data generated through the Logistic Support Analysis process and ensures that any required ATS is obtained in the most cost-effective manner

The candidate shall review maintenance, materials, management (3M), lessons learned and other applicable data to identify future ATS requirements

Represents PMA260 at level conferences (e.g., sponsor and other activities, including other contractors); providing technical advice, information and counsel on cognizant avionics support equipment programs

Ensures a high level of technical/analytical expertise is maintained within the Systems Engineering Division by acting as a mentor to younger engineers. The incumbent shall continually research new developments in systems engineering, analytical and management techniques to improve Division capabilities and responsiveness to customer needs

Brief higher-level management on the status of assigned tasks and any potential problems, challenges, or opportunities relating to the specialty area

Reviews/prepares required documentation for assigned tasks such as letters, messages, technical reports, engineering drawings and other forms of technical documentation
