• Applies a number of diverse engineering practices, techniques, and processes to resolve difficult issues consistent with program objectives
• Evaluates technology, components, and systems by developing evaluation criteria, performing evaluations, and documenting results
• Applies advanced tools to document and analyze the results of critical, complex activities and tasks
• Provides decision support inputs for approval of plans, specification, cost estimates, design calculations, schedules, cost proposals, and engineering studies
• Supports government counterparts regarding the adequacy and clarity of engineering and analysis processes based on daily application of the processes and agency reporting requirements
• Works with organizational managers, budget personnel, and engineering authorities to develop technical solutions in support of SOF operational requirements
• Develops evaluations and technical justifications of feasibility; analyzes and studies performance requirements against a range of diverse considerations
• Assists in the development of Statements of Work/Statements of Objectives (SOW/SOO)
• Plans, executes, and documents design, development, and production efforts on behalf of government counterparts, using performance indicators identified in applicable engineering surveillance processes
• Supports contract modification and makes technical recommendations for change order approval; supports budget control directly supporting the engineering effort
• Provides expert technical level inputs for status briefings to leadership, outlining assigned programs, projects, problems, and recommended resolution
• Interprets engineering requirements into design characteristics and criteria
• Evaluates and recommend technical solutions to address SOF operational requirements utilizing a professional knowledge of multi-discipline engineering
• Plans, analyzes, and evaluates engineering and technical efforts to define requirements, translate into design criteria, assess alternative design approaches, and develop system specifications
• Provides multidisciplinary engineering work to determine the technical needs in the acquisition, development, and sustainment of systems
• Supports requirements management and traceability of requirements throughout the design, Operational Test & Evaluation (OT&E), and sustainment phase of a system’s lifecycle
• Supports development and staffing of various technical documents in support of Fielding & Deployment Release (F&DR) and Operational Test & Evaluation (OT&E)
• Conducts advanced engineering tasks such as reviewing engineering change proposals, reviewing requests for waivers and deviations, conducting technical analysis to assess performance, and presenting results and recommendations based on analysis
• Conducts requirements analysis and decomposition; translates military operational requirements into technical specifications with further decomposition into sub-systems, components, and system characteristics along with associated Measures of Performance (MOP)
• Determines the means to advance projects and evaluate significant modifications to production methods or materials due to changes in requirements, technological advances, or shortcomings

Requirements

• Practical experience or familiarity with the SOF requirements validation process
• Advanced knowledge of Group 1-3 unmanned systems to include procurement, technology, operations, sustainment, and fielding
• Familiarity with the DoD acquisition process is highly desired
• 5 years of experience with small unmanned systems
