Credence has an immediate need for a Systems Integration Engineer who will be primarily responsible for supporting the B-52 Stratofortress Division (AFLCMC WBD) at Tinker AFB, OK. The B-52 Stratofortress division protects our nation by modernizing and sustaining the B-52 fleet and ensuring continued AF power projection. With a 60-year history as the backbone of the nation’s nuclear deterrence operations, the current fleet of 76 B-52H aircraft is capable of deploying the widest array of weapons in the U.S. inventory and supports multiple combatant command operations. This division provides world-class expertise and technical services, ensuring the operational safety, suitability, and effectiveness of war-winning capabilities. It also maintains the airworthiness of the B-52 Stratofortress throughout its projected service life, which extends to 2050. Responsibilities include, but are not limited to the duties listed below - Independently accomplish systems engineering analysis on a broad range of aeronautical systems and capability planning to drive timely and cost-effective materiel solutions for existing F/B programs and future programs (e.g. Next Generation Bomber and 2030 Air Dominance programs), with MAJCOM, center, AFRL, and industry partners, from concept identification to system fielding and ensure they are properly aligned with cross-cutting capabilities across the aeronautical enterprise. - Institute a collaborative process bridging warfighter-identified capability requirements to planning for the acquisition of materiel solutions which satisfy the requirement. This includes researching program information, providing systems engineering insight, conducting analyses, and briefing preparation. - Independently manage interfaces and processes with the development planning, technology, intelligence, acquisition, sustainment, and user communities. - Independently apply knowledge and experience to the scope of enterprise activities which spans requirements/acquisition and sustainment and includes: understanding doctrine, assisting in identifying and defining requirements, developing horizontally integrated acquisition, sustainment, and investment strategies, integration of technologies, integration of intelligence, and development of sustainment strategies. Capability requirements and option sets will be architecture-based to ensure the necessary interoperability and appropriate linkages to other capabilities. The integrated option sets developed may cut across multiple platforms, programs and phases as well as across multiple enterprises. - Support development of strategies for cross-cutting capability requirements. - Assist with initiating, writing, reviewing, developing, implementing documentation activities including but not limited to TEMPs, SEPs, RFPs, SOOs, contracting items and data items, test plans, LCMPs, LCSPs Pre-MS A and Pre-MS B documentation as appropriate. - Support the identification, assessment, and analysis of the future capability solution sets required to support capability requirements. These activities will be critical subject areas during reviews such as program reviews and IBRs. - Review systems engineering initiatives brought about by policy changes to buying commercial items (such as acquisition of NDI, COTS items, and FAA-certified items) and commercial practices (e.g., performance based business environment). - Assist in managing capability and systems engineering studies that involve multiple divisions. - Assist in communicating system engineering solutions, risk analysis, and future solutions within the AFLCMC to include programs as well as MAJCOMs, other enterprises, and the Air Staff. - Assist in transition of programs into and the termination of programs out of the F/B Directorate for use in the field enhancing the warfighters capabilities. - Assist in planning across Family of Systems (FoS) and Systems of Systems (SoS) Engineering especially in the development of capability management strategies, e.g. airborne electronic attack and others. - Assist in establishing a capability architect function with each Division to ensure integrated architectures are developed and used as a standard underlying vehicle for cross enterprise comparison, analysis, and integration for the F/B Directorate. - Assist in developing, improving, and administering technology processes to include applied technology councils, small business innovative research, and/or other initiatives to identify, assess, and submit proposals to the technology community to pursue further. - Review planning documents (e.g. MNS/ORD/ICD/CDD/CPD) for realistic industrial base execution. - Promote the use of MS&A throughout the acquisition life cycle process and foster the development and maintenance of common use MS&A tools useful to the Government and industry. - Assist in integration of intelligence information and infrastructure to ensure cross-enterprise capabilities planning and system acquisition. - Provide a wide range of recommended solution sets for capabilities integration planning. - Organize large and small group briefings for discussions gaining cross-divisional engineering expertise. From these meetings a draft of the permanent record, record discussion content, debrief, and accomplish overall planning shall be developed. - Support collaboration with division senior functional leads and manage higher headquarters and internal tasks from the AFMC SOCCER database, establish, coordinate, and implement responsibilities of the program control and functions to include reporting and baseline and schedule management, integrate the division’s business processes, as well as, accomplish assigned special projects. - Apply their knowledge of and experience with system integration engineering, coordinating expertise and skills to support the melding of the program technical components and program elements to ensure the elements function together as a system. - Support review and evaluation of military airworthiness certification documentation, coordinating the developed consensus across engineering disciplines and providing detailed status of airworthiness activities to engineering management. - Provide in-depth analysis of DoD and USAF policies and processes for USAF and military airworthiness certification, systems engineering and sustainment against accepted industry or military standards for NDI aircraft as related to providing light attack aircraft to a building partner capacity program; identify gaps and make recommendations. - Assist with the coordination of the engineering effort to review and evaluate planning for test similar to First Article Test (FAT). - Support the development of a consensus across engineering disciplines on the successful completion of the test similar to FAT and shall assist with providing detailed status of the test activities to engineering management. - Apply knowledge of and support engineering efforts to include FCA/PCA, aircraft and/or simulator certifications, technical evaluation of contractor efforts, environmental and hazardous material management, system safety, risk management, deficiency report resolution, in addition to assisting with the integration of the system mission planning system and periodic update of geospatial data. - Apply resultant system integration engineering analyses to assist with development of SEPs, an OSS&E baseline, and a plan to provide engineering support for sustainment activities. - Assist with the management and resolution of technical projects, risks, and mitigation plans. - Coordinate root cause investigations with federal agencies and weapon system contractors and support technical meetings with industry and program stakeholders. - Clearance: Secret - Master’s or Doctorate Degree from an ABET accredited university or college in a related field and ten years of experience in the respective technical / professional discipline being performed, five years of which must be in the DoD or - Bachelor’s Degree from an ABET accredited university or college in a related field and 12 years of experience in the respective technical/professional discipline being performed, five of which must be in the DoD - Knowledgeable in airworthiness, diagnostics, electrical, and field implementation actions IAW MIL-HDBK-516C - Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision) - Retirement Plan (401k, IRA) - Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D) - Paid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays) - Family Leave (Maternity, Paternity) - Short Term & Long Term Disability - Training & Development Please join us, as together we build a better world one mission at a time powered by technology and its people! #veteranemployment #militaryspouse #milspouse #hireavet #militaryveteran #militaryfriendly #transitioningmilitary #veterans #militarytransition #militaryfamilies #msep #militarytocivilian #military #federalcontractingjobs #defensecontracting #defenseindustryjobs
