Travel will be required for this position. #KS Responsibilities This position requires the application of sound systems engineering concepts and scientific and technical practices throughout the test and experimentation process. The Systems Engineer will help define testable technical objectives that when achieved, will clearly identify system capabilities and limitations. Additionally, the Systems Engineer will contribute to the development of test plans, test execution, analysis, and reporting of organization test events. Specific responsibilities include, but are not limited to: Assist the RDMT spectrum manager as needed with document development and for coordination of requirements for obtaining spectrum management approvals for electronic attack and radio frequency requests necessary for test execution. Responsible for assisting the organization with logistics required for movement of DE systems for testing and fielding DE systems to other locations. Maintain inventory of assets, prepare shipping documents and systems for shipment, and coordinate with government and commercial transportations agencies. Responsible for supporting the planning, tracking, execution, and reporting of HPM and HEL test and events. This includes assisting with test site design and configuration, assessing/addressing project risks, and project schedule management. This also includes the review of test plans and standard operating procedures developed by other organizations and contractor personnel. Participate in the organization’s small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) flight program. Operate group 1 and 2 fixed and rotary wing UASs used to challenge DEW during testing to assess their capability to support the counter small UAS mission.
