This role involves designing and verifying test and training device functionality, ensuring seamless integration with platform systems and alignment with operational requirements. The ideal candidate will leverage expertise in test systems engineering, training simulation technologies, and platform-specific requirements to advance mission-critical capabilities for national defense.

Responsibilities

Training Device Development & Integration

• Develop and design aircrew training systems to simulate flight operations, mission profiles, and platform-specific functionality.
• Integrate training and testing systems with advanced avionics, mission software, sensors, and communications subsystems.

Test Systems Design & Execution

• Plan and execute detailed test procedures to validate aircrew training device performance and alignment with operational requirements.
• Conduct functional and systems integration testing for device interoperability with real-world air platform subsystems.
• Use simulation tools and data analysis software to assess system performance during testing.

Requirements Analysis & Validation

• Collaborate with stakeholders to define requirements and functional capabilities of aircrew test and training devices.
• Ensure alignment with aerospace and DoD standards for both training systems and integrated technologies.

System Performance Evaluation

• Use advanced metrics and tools to measure system accuracy, responsiveness, and usability in simulated training environments.
• Identify and troubleshoot system deficiencies, coordinating solutions with cross-functional engineering teams.

Documentation & Reporting

• Develop comprehensive technical documentation such as test plans, performance summaries, and system validation reports.
• Communicate testing results and recommendations to program managers, engineering leads, and customers.

Compliance & Standards

• Ensure all test and training systems comply with MIL-STD specifications, RMF (Risk Management Framework), and cybersecurity requirements.
• Support certification and field deployment of aircrew training systems.

Qualifications
