• Develop and review system requirements, specifications, Interface Control Documents, architecture products, and other engineering documentation
• Evaluate mission-system architectures incorporating MOSA, OMS, UCI, Government Reference Architectures, open standards, and nonproprietary interfaces
• Evaluate proposed capability changes for impacts to mission-system architecture, aircraft interfaces, cybersecurity, airworthiness, integration, test, and certification
• Support technical evaluations, acquisition planning, programmatic decision-making, and budget-development activities
• Assess contractor architectures, designs, and technical approaches for technical adequacy, interoperability, integration risk, and compliance with government requirements
• Promote vendor-neutral integration, hardware/software interoperability, and modular capability insertion to reduce proprietary dependencies and improve future competition
• Support integration of electronic warfare, communications, sensors, payloads, processing, mission-computing, and mission-software capabilities onto special-mission aircraft
• Apply engineering methods to architecture development, requirements decomposition, interface management, integration planning, verification, and validation
• Support DevSecOps, continuous integration/continuous delivery, software integration, and automated test approaches where applicable
• Support laboratory, ground, developmental, operational, and flight-test activities
• Develop and review test plans, reports, technical assessments, and support engineering data
• Represent the program as a mission-systems subject matter expert in technical forums involving Air Force, Department of Defense, industry, and electronic attack stakeholders
• Provide technical recommendations supporting rapid prototyping, capability integration, fielding, modernization, and lifecycle planning programmatic decisions
