The Hardware Engineer will collaborate with supporting vendors to identify replacement hardware systems and ensure their integration onto the CHS# contract, making sure that the hardware is procurable. Additionally, the engineer will provide analyses and assessments of engineering change proposals (ECPs), functional and physical configuration audits (FCAs/PCAs), and first article or production qualification testing. The role also involves testing to determine the feasibility of designs and ensuring maximum compatibility with existing systems. The engineer will apply industry best practices in C5ISR architecture-based processes, frameworks, tools, and architecture views/viewpoints. This includes familiarity with the Department of Defense (DOD) Architecture Framework (DoDAF) and IEEE 1471-2000 standards.
