Key Duties & Responsibilities:
- Provide comprehensive engineering support for EW systems, subsystems, hardware, and software.
- Drive requirements definition, allocation, traceability, system design, and engineering analysis.
- Develop systems integration documentation, including interface requirements, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), data flows, and communication boundaries.
- Translate complex technical data into clear, concise, and accurate documentation for Government audiences.
- Author, review, and maintain technical reports, manuals, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Technical Data Packages (TDPs).
- Collaborate with cross-functional engineers and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to capture technical details, document engineering decisions, and justify recommendations.
- Review all technical manuals, training materials, and documentation for accuracy, grammar, formatting, and usability.
- Support test planning, execution, and data review for lab, field, and system-level testing.
- Document troubleshooting results, deficiency reports, test findings, corrective actions, and lessons learned.
- Generate comprehensive post-test documentation and engineering judgment inputs.
- Assist with maintaining TDPs, including technical drawings, specifications, repair standards, and ECPs.
- Maintain organized, version-controlled documentation libraries and technical records.
- Support Configuration Management (CM) by tracking changes and ensuring documentation matches current system baselines.
- Coordinate deliverables with test, logistics, quality, cybersecurity, and program management teams.
- Prepare and deliver technical briefings and presentations for program, design, and test reviews.
- Ensure all work products are marked, handled, and stored in strict accordance with CUI, OPSEC, and security guidelines.
