This is an opportunity to be considered early for a high-impact effort supporting critical defense missions.

Responsibilities

• Providing systems engineering and analysis support in the definition of technical performance measures used in test and evaluation, and for post-test data collection and analysis. Examples include but are not limited to subsystem or system level simulation evaluation, human-in-the-loop evaluation or field testing of multiple aircraft types, or representative avionics, mission computers, sensors, or weapons system.
• Assisting in the development of modeling and simulation system environments, system architectures, and system verification plans for various R&D activities of the TDD-SID.
• Generating substantiation documentation, designs, and drawings to support integration of candidate solutions onto U.S. Army aviation platforms. This work may be conducted independently or as a member of a larger team of designers and engineers. Substantiation packages must be in accordance with identified airworthiness requirements for particular aircraft platforms.
• Conducting test preparation and support execution of testing or test-related activities for various R&D activities of the SID.
• Aiding in developing and writing test plans and test reports and executing tests in accordance with developed test plans. Preparing structural load test plans that show detailed knowledge of airframe considered and expected load paths. Examples of other testing will include, but not be limited to, material testing, sub-component to full system testing, and environmental / electromagnetic testing (temperature, altitude, humidity, vibration, shock, electromagnetic interference and compatibility testing) in accordance with military and other appropriate engineering standards.
• Creating stress and test reports that demonstrate that the "considered design" is in compliance with the original Prime Item Development Specifications, applicable Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations, and/or required maneuver, crash and fatigue loads for the applicable airframe.
• Analyzing Resonance Assessment Profiles (RAP) testing and vibrational data collection and identifying potential resonance within 5% of rotor harmonics
• Traveling up to 25% in support of mission requirements in the form of site surveys, technical interchange meetings, training, testing support, and other critical tasks outside of the JBLE facilities. This includes assisting with equipment packing and movement as per mission requirements.
