Shall provide advisory assistance in developing system concepts, and in performing technological/trade-off study assessments of proposed designs.
• Assist with providing technical support in planning, analyzing, and evaluating efforts used to define total weapons systems/subsystem requirements, translate requirements into design criteria, evaluate alternative design approaches, develop system specifications, and perform technological/trade-off study assessments of proposed designs to include airworthiness (and tailored airworthiness criteria).
• Provide support in developing system performance requirements, objectives and integration, and the estimation of time and resources for system design, development, and support.
• Apply expertise in the field of engineering and extensive knowledge of the assigned functional area to assist in resolving unique or novel problems related to design and development engineering including having knowledge of: the principles of planning and program management; standard acquisition regulations, practices, and procedures; and other engineering disciplines used in support of sustainment, modification, and maintenance programs.
• Assist with planning, analyzing, and evaluating engineering and technical efforts used to define total weapons system/subsystem requirements, translating requirements into design criteria, evaluating alternative design approaches, and developing the system specifications.
• Perform analysis and assist with evaluating proposals, presenting conclusions/recommendations, and integrating technical requirements, directives, and program plans in support of assigned projects/programs in systems engineering, including the preparation and review of detailed specifications, drawings, and supporting documents. Additionally, assist with evaluating performance with respect to program requirements, evaluating design changes to assess effects on performance, and recommending changes to reduce system cost.
• Assist with coordinating special studies on design changes, recommending solutions to technical problems, and recommending different engineering approaches through the development phase and into production. Additionally, assist with managing performance/cost relationships and analyzing systems/equipment to ensure functional/operational integrity and reliability.
• Assist in performing complex and comprehensive analyses and use systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approaches to determine performance objectives and integration issues.
• Provide support of weapon system contractor source selections, to include the development of the Acquisition Strategy Plans (ASPs), Instructions to Offerors (ITOs), and technical evaluation criteria.
