Astrion has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Systems Engineer located at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas NV providing support to the Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management Division (C3BM).

Command, Control, Communications, and Battle Management (C3BM) has been tasked with delivering an integrated Department of the Air Force (DAF) Battle Network providing resilient decision advantage and enabling the USAF, USSF, Joint, and Coalition Force to win against the pacing challenge. C3BM supports execution in many different focus areas. C3BM's main efforts are Architecture and Systems Engineering (ASE), Operational Response Team (ORT), and multiple mission integration teams such as Air, Maritime and multiple acquisitions consisting of both the Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) and Space.

The candidate will provide Systems Engineering assistance that applies a broad theoretical and practical knowledge of system engineering to the acquisition process. The candidate will also provide engineering support in the design, operation, and sustainment of systems and components that cover tasks throughout the acquisition life cycle (requirements analysis through system disposal).

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS / SKILLS

• 10 years of directly related experience Tactical Datalink or systems engineering in a DoD environment
• Strong familiarity with Link 16, SADL, and TDL-related standards (MIL-STD-6016, STANAG 5516).
• Prior experience supporting JICO functions.
• Completion of the following courses: JT-102 Multi-TDL Advance Joint Interoperability Course, JT-201 Multi-TDL Planners & JT-301 JICO
• Knowledge of DAF and DoD C2 infrastructure, including previous support to battle management or network-centric programs.
• Experience with DoD acquisition processes and Agile development environments.
• Proficiency in TDL network planning tools and network performance analysis.
• Ability to effectively communicate with cross-functional teams and senior leadership.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS / SKILLS

• BA/BS Degree

RESPONSIBILITIES

Candidate selected will be aligned to 1 of 5 Mission Integration Teams (MITs) duty stationed at Nellis AFB, Las Vegas. The five mission areas are Air, Maritime, Land, homeland Air Defense, and Cross Cutting.

• Members of the MITs manage the DAF C3BM MIT Process for their respective MIT. The DAF C3BM MIT Process receives operational and functional requirements from the Operational Community and conducts a(an):
  1. Operational Analysis to translate operational and functional requirements into technical requirements.
  2. Architecture Definition to design the capability's architecture while ensuring integration/interoperability with the broader DAF C3BM enterprise architecture.
  3. Risk assessment of the capability, and if risk needs to be mitigated, the MIT works with the Science & Technology Community to address.
  4. Execution management strategy providing the capability's requirements to the Acquisition Community.
  5. Test and Evaluation Strategy with the Acquisition Community to work with the Test and Evaluation Community for exercise and experimentation activities before delivery to the Operational Community.
• Serves a Mission Integration Team (MIT) system of systems architecture design and development engineers.
  
• Reviews current Department of Defense (DoD) architecture models and designs a migration path to a future state that enables seamless sensor-to-shooter connectivity.
  
• Drives interconnectivity between represented PEOs and weapon systems.
  
• Captures as is and to be states driven by MIT stressing engagement scenarios.
  
• Engages the joint and coalition community to design and evaluate an architecture that will connect any sensor to any shooter irrespective of service or coalition.
  
• Identifies, assesses, and matures innovative and affordable concepts meeting current and future AF needs through multi-domain expertise, analytics, and modeling, simulation & analysis tool development.
