Odyssey Systems is recruiting to fill a Principal GEOINT Systems Engineering position supporting the WIN Sensors Division at Wright Patterson AFB, OH. WIN is part of the ISR/SOF Directorate (AFLCMC/WI), who is responsible for equipping our warfighters to win the fight. The Directorate executes a $22 billion acquisition portfolio developing, producing, testing, modifying, fielding, and supporting Air Force ISR and SOF platforms, and related sub-systems.

Program description:

The WIN ISR Sensors Division is headquartered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) and has the collective Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) mission responsibility for equipping ISR & SOF warfighters to dominate the battlespace. Applicants will benefit from competitive salaries, career growth, and a unique ability to positively impact national security on a global scale!

·       Possess the knowledge, experience, and recognized ability to be considered highly skilled in applying the principles, criteria, and procedures of the DoD to include DoD 5000.01 and DoD 5000.02 as well as system-of-systems acquisition engineering processes and all engineering tasks. 

·       Provide operationally relevant GEOINT engineering services to assist with technology development activities that identify, analyze, evaluate, test, and implement new capabilities for potential incorporation into the intelligence collection architecture. 

·       Assist with integrating preplanned improvements or follow-on capabilities to candidate sensors for existing or emerging platforms and sensor data with current exploitation elements as required to execute the T&E mission.

·       Assist in performing technical/mission analysis of operational requirements, assist in developing system concepts, and perform technological/trade-off study assessments of proposed designs. 

·       Assist in reviewing the overall system design baseline (architecture and interoperability requirements). 

·       Assist in the areas of integrated subsystem controls, environmental control, thermal management, auxiliary and emergency power, mechanical systems, and fire/overheat protection systems.

·       Assist with processes for drafting project documentation, including SOOs and SOWs, program plans, schedules, and presentations. 

·       Assist in drafting documentation required by regulations and statues, to include but not limited to the SEP and LCSP. 

·       Assist test teams in the development of test requirements, review of integration test plans, procedures, and data  test plans. 

·       Assist in reviewing and analyzing technical proposals or modifications for cost, design feasibility and system compatibility. 

·       Assist in reviewing specifications, including system, system segment, and equipment specifications, and ICDs submitted by the weapon system contractor or other DoD agencies involved in the program. 

·       Assist in conducting analysis and trade studies, supporting and conducting engineering performance, effectiveness, cost effectiveness, cost performance, life-cycle cost, producibility, maintainability, supportability, reliability, technical/schedule risk assessment, and scheduling trade-off studies. 

·       Assist in the support and conduct of systems analyses to include system design/design feasibility and state-of-the-art assessment. 

·       Assist in supporting the evaluation of IMP, IMS, and SEDS engineering cost estimates, systems test plans (such as systems test plans/test and evaluation master plans) and participate in the conduct of system, subsystem, and component testing.

·       Provide systems/subsystems integration support for the acquisition, development, and verification of systems and equipment. 

·       Assist in areas such as integrated subsystem controls, avionics, communications/data link integration, and electrical power integration. 

·       Assist in producing architectures which assess the user needs, document the planned and existing systems intended to meet the needs, determine deficiencies, develop alternative solutions, and recommend a solution to meet the deficiencies. 

·       Assist in developing a plan to implement the chosen solution, cover a command's need, such as, GEOINT systems for an advanced aircraft, system architecture need for a multi-user GEOINT systems or GEOINT mission sub-area architectures for strategic, tactical, and support communication systems. 

·       Assist in engineering support including defining GEOINT system and subsystem requirements, system analysis, integration, test, and evaluation activities and identifying potential related projects to GEOINT programs. 

·       Assist in the technical and management aspects of GEOINT requirements.
