Responsibilities

Provide engineering Support in requirements identification, evaluation, testing and integration, specifically with Program Protection planning and anti-tamper methodologies

This position requires a thorough understanding of the DoD systems engineering process, policy and procedures in the acquisition, manufacturing, fielding, and sustainment, modernization and disposal of new, existing and future weapons systems and capabilities, with specific experience in weapon system Program Protection planning

Highly desired that personnel in this position have expertise in understanding integrated circuitry, industry standard processors, and memory chips and have familiarity with methodologies for reverse engineering electronic systems and integrated circuitry

Personnel shall be experienced and motivated engineering professionals with the necessary skills to support the DoD Anti-Tamper Executive Agent Field Office (ATEA FPO) by accomplishing highly technical tasks in a classified work environment

Personnel shall apply knowledge of and expertise in DoD, AF and common engineering and scientific principles, criteria, and procedures to improve planned and existing weapon system manufacture, operations, re-manufacture and de-militarization operations and oversight

Assist in translating user requirements into system requirements, which will be used to design, develop, fabricate, test and evaluate systems, subsystems and equipment for deployment

Apply engineering principles and technical understanding of subject matter material into initial development, modification/updates/revisions, and maintenance of technical Anti-Tamper Security Classification Guides (SCG) using technical writing skills

Assist with the development of requirements and technology needs into action plans and policies necessary to improve and retain world class manufacturing, operations, re-manufacturing and de-militarization of weapon system capabilities

Perform technical/mission analyses of existing and potential operational requirements, assist in developing system concepts, and perform technological/trade-off study assessments of proposed designs

Review specifications, including system, system segment and equipment specifications, and Interface Control Documents (ICDs) involved in programs

Support and conduct engineering performance, effectiveness, cost effectiveness, cost performance, lifecycle cost, producibility, maintainability, supportability, reliability, technical and schedule risk assessment and scheduling trade-off studies

Support and conduct systems analyses to include, but not limited to, system design/design feasibility and state-of-the-art assessment
