Key Responsibilities

• Lead end‑to‑end technical efforts: refine requirements, define test objectives, author methods of test, and oversee execution for ground and flight activities; ensure data collection plans, instrumentation needs, and analysis methods will yield valid, decision‑quality results.
• Direct mission planning and post‑mission analysis using accepted T&E processes, models/simulations, hardware‑in‑the‑loop, measurement facilities, and open‑air ranges; synthesize findings into briefings, letter reports, and formal technical reports.
• Provide senior technical advisement across avionics, sensors/seekers, weapons integration, interoperability, survivability/vulnerability, electromagnetic effects, and C5ISR topics; mentor engineers and test personnel.
• Uphold safety and compliance: apply applicable AFMC/AFTC flight‑test policy and Government processes during supported activities; participate in technical and safety reviews.
• Represent the program with internal stakeholders and external partners across government, industry, and academia; communicate complex technical matters clearly to varied audiences.

Required Qualifications

• Recognized Subject‑Matter Expert with exceptional and/or highly unique expertise, capable of performing all functional duties independently and overseeing the efforts of others as needed.
• Extensive, recent experience planning, conducting, and analyzing results for air‑launched weapons, avionics/sensors, and mission systems integration testing (ground and flight).
• Demonstrated mastery of test documentation (Methods of Test, data packages, letter reports, technical reports) and of data reduction/analysis to produce defensible conclusions.
• Proven ability to lead cross‑disciplinary teams and mentor engineers/test personnel in complex T&E environments.
• Ability to obtain and maintain appropriate DoD clearances; eligibility for SAP/SCI may be required based on program needs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Recent Team Eglin test experience, including integration with JTTOCC and range assets; familiarity with one‑of‑a‑kind test platforms and ETTC processes.
• Experience supporting interoperability/performance assessments for new fighter software baselines, UAS T&E roadmap inputs, and TRMC initiatives.
