HII Mission Technologies Division's Fighters, Advanced Aircraft, Bombers, and Propulsion Systems Team is seeking a senior-level systems engineer with expertise in aircraft propulsion systems. This role involves direct support to the Propulsion Acquisition Division at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, where the candidate will provide system design, development, integration, and testing products, along with subject matter expertise on a variety of aircraft engines for the US Air Force. The position requires performing technical planning, system integration, verification and validation, and conducting supportability and effectiveness analyses for total aircraft propulsion systems. The candidate will be responsible for ensuring the logical and systematic conversion of customer or product requirements into total systems solutions that consider technical, schedule, and cost constraints. This includes performing functional analysis, timeline analysis, trade studies, requirements allocation, and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into hardware and software specifications. The role also emphasizes the application of Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles to enhance innovation, increase operational efficiencies, and assist in the development, integration, and certification of complex systems. Participation in the System Engineering life cycle is crucial, which encompasses requirements development, architecture development, system analyses (including reliability and maintainability), integration and test planning, and system verification. The candidate will employ various testing, analysis, and modeling and simulation tools to estimate or calculate system performance, ensuring that all aspects of the propulsion systems are thoroughly evaluated and optimized for operational effectiveness.
