As the program's Avionics Engineering SME, you will be the cornerstone technical authority for integrating the Nomad chassis, Type 1 crypto, SATCOM apertures, and OMS/UCI software with multiple aircraft avionics suites during Major Release ensuring airworthiness, mission effectiveness, and digital thread fidelity.
Essential Job Functions:
Architecture & Design Authority:
  • Define avionics integration schemes that marry Nomad VPX hardware with platform data buses (MIL STD 1553, ARINC 429/664, Ethernet TSN) and mission computers.
    Develop interface control documents (ICDs), signal flow diagrams, and timing budgets; ensure alignment with OMS/UCI messages and cross domain guard rules.
Airworthiness & Certification:
  • Lead authoring of AF Form 1067s, E series flight clearance packages, and safety of flight analyses.
    Oversee DO 254 (hardware) & DO 178C (software) compliance artifacts where required.
Digital Thread/MBSE:
  • Capture avionics models in SysML/CAMEO and link to requirements, verification methods, and hardware part trees.
    Drive configuration control boards, red line incorporation, and model synchronization.
Lab to Flight Integration:
  • Specify and validate wiring harnesses, signal conditioning, and power interfaces in the Integration SIL.
    Troubleshoot EMI/EMC, timing, and protocol issues; guide corrective actions through to flight test readiness.
Flight Test & Fielding Support:
  • Draft test cards, telemetry requirements, and Interim Authorizations To Test (IATT).
    Serve as on board or ground avionics lead during developmental & operational flights; analyze real time data and coordinate anomaly resolution.
Mentorship & Stakeholder Engagement:
  • Advise Government IPT leads, platform SPOs, and OEM avionics teams; present technical status to SES/GO audiences.
    Mentor mid level engineers, instilling open architecture and DevSecOps best practices in a classified environment.
Required Skills:
  • Active TS/SCI clearance.
  • B.S. in Electrical, Avionics, Aerospace, or Computer Engineering (M.S. preferred) plus 20 + years of avionics design/integration on military fixed or rotary wing platforms, including flight test and fielding.
  • Expert knowledge of MIL STD 1553, ARINC 429/664, Ethernet (TSN/AFDX), VPX architectures, and timing/synchronization methods.
  • Demonstrated success integrating Type 1 crypto, SATCOM/RF subsystems, and open mission systems (OMS/UCI, FACE, SOSA).
  • Hands on experience generating airworthiness artifacts and guiding systems through developmental & operational test.
  • Proficiency with avionics E CAD and MBSE tools (CAMEO/MagicDraw, Rhapsody, Altium/OrCAD).
Desired Skills:
  • Prior work on ABMS, CJADC2, or airborne C4ISR networking programs.
  • Deep familiarity with DO 254/DO 178C compliance, RCC 324/125 15, and MIL STD 461 EMI/EMC.
  • INCOSE CSEP/ESEP, DER, or USAF Test Pilot School academic credentials.
  • Experience integrating software defined radios, content routing, or SDN architectures into legacy aircraft.
