Position Summary:

Odyssey Systems has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Systems Engineer providing support to the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC/C3M), Mission Planning Division.

 

The Mission Planning Division (AFLCMC/C3M) leads the development, modernization, and sustainment of enterprise Mission Planning Systems (MPS) supporting all U.S. Air Force aviation platforms. The Division delivers modular, integrated mission planning capabilities that connect operational tasking and intelligence data with aircraft avionics and aircrew mission requirements. By enabling aircrews to electronically receive and process tasking orders, intelligence inputs, target coordinates, and mission‑critical flight and weapons data, MPS enhances combat effectiveness, increases sortie generation rates, and improves aircrew readiness and survivability across the Combat Air Forces (CAF) and Mobility Air Forces (MAF).

 

In parallel with sustaining current mission planning capabilities, the Division is developing the next-generation Joint Mission Planning System Open Mission System (JOMS), a cloud‑based, micro‑service architecture designed to accelerate planning timelines, enhance collaboration, and deliver containerized services tailored to operational needs. Working closely with program managers, developers, industry partners, and the user community, the team is shaping the future of agile, modern mission planning. Major customers include Air Combat Command (ACC), Air Mobility Command (AMC), Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC), and Air Education and Training Command (AETC).
