Air Vehicle Health Management Systems Engineer Staff - Level 4

Standard Job Description

This position is for an Integrated Vehicle Health Management (IVHM) Systems Engineer. Candidate will be working on an agile scrum team to design and maintain diagnostic and prognostics capabilities for air vehicle and avionics systems capable of detecting and isolating root cause failures within an air vehicle and driving maintainer corrective actions for troubleshooting and resolution.

• Primary role is a Systems Engineer for the Diagnostics, Prognostics, and Health Management (DPHM) Team.
• As a Systems Engineer your primary responsibility is to develop, analyze and mature the DPHM capability by understanding the following;
  • System Engineering; Development, Deployment, Operations
  • Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)
  • Aircraft systems/subsystems and design
  • Testability analysis
  • Built-in-test (BIT) analysis
  • Failure Mode Effects and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)
  • Diagnostic requirements (fault detection and failure isolation) and design
  • Operational DPHM performance
  • Required corrective actions
• Additional responsibilities include evaluation of capability functions, assessing operational performance, and identifying & planning capability maturation opportunities for all Air System DPHM capabilities.
• Primary Tasks include system engineering activities related to specifying, architecting, modeling, testing and sustaining a health management capability on a modern military aircraft program to achieve program diagnostic and prognostic objectives through fault detection and failure isolation.
• Additional Tasks include coordinating with Technical Leads to ensure that projects are completed on schedule following established schedules, and work plans. Lead, generate and coordinate schedules with stakeholders. Lead and coordinate the planning, organizing, control, integration and completion of engineering projects with Technical Leads. Brief project status to engineering leadership and stakeholders.
