ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS:
Platform Integration Lead
  • Own the aircraft level mechanical & structural integration of the Nomad hardware stack, SATCOM apertures, and platform interface modules (PIMs).
  • Develop and coordinate AF Form 1067 packages, air worthiness artifacts, and flight clearance data with System Program Offices (SPOs), Flight Test Centers, and OEMs.
  • Perform trade studies and SWaP C analyses to down select form factor options for priority platforms.
Digital Engineering & Model Based Design
  • Author/maintain 3 D CAD assemblies, interface control models, and parametric weight/balance data inside the program's government owned digital thread.
  • Feed real time design feedback to Nomad, Smith, and Watch IPTs and the Government architecture team.
System Integration Laboratory (SIL) Support
  • Define aircraft representative fixtures, wiring harnesses, and environmental test setups; oversee buildout and day to day operation of the Integration SIL.
  • Execute vibration, EMI/EMC, thermal, and functional checkout testing prior to DT/OT.
Flight Test & Fielding
  • Draft test plans, hazard analyses, and Interim Authorizations to Test (IATT); serve as on board or ground test engineer during developmental and operational flights.
  • Lead red line capture, root cause analysis, and incorporation of lessons learned into subsequent builds and Product Delivery Orders (PDOs).
