• You are a great teammate.

Responsibilities:

Personnel should be experienced and motivated engineering professionals with the necessary skills to support the ATEA FPO by accomplishing highly technical tasks in a classified work environment. This position requires a thorough understanding of integrated circuitry, industry standard processors, and memory chips and familiarity with lab equipment used to assess and exploit circuity, processors, and memory chips as well as an understanding of methodologies for reverse engineering electronic systems and integrated circuitry. Individuals will work with the ATEA FPO, Service labs, and industry partners in assessing current and future weapons systems’ susceptibilities and vulnerabilities to an adversary’s exploitation. Personnel shall apply knowledge of and expertise in DoD, AF and common engineering and scientific principles, criteria, and procedures to improve planned and existing weapon system manufacture, operations, re-manufacture and de-militarization operations and oversight, with specific experience in weapon system Program Protection planning. 

Your essential job functions will include but may not be limited to:

•  Assist in translating user requirements into system requirements, which will be used to design, develop, fabricate, test and evaluate systems, subsystems and equipment for deployment. 
• Support and conduct engineering performance, effectiveness, cost effectiveness, cost performance, lifecycle cost, producibility, maintainability, supportability, reliability, technical and schedule risk assessment and scheduling trade-off studies.
• Support and conduct systems analyses to include, but not limited to, system design/design feasibility and state-of-the-art assessment.
• Perform technical/mission analyses of existing and potential operational requirements, assist in developing system concepts, and perform technological/trade-off study assessments of proposed designs.
• Provide systems/subsystems integration support for the acquisition, development and verification of systems and equipment.
• Review specifications, including system, system segment and equipment specifications, and Interface Control Documents (ICDs) involved in programs.
• Assist with the development of requirements and technology needs into action plans and policies necessary to improve and retain world class manufacturing, operations, re-manufacturing and de-militarization of weapon system capabilities.
• Apply engineering principles and technical understanding of subject matter material into initial development, modification/updates/revisions, and maintenance of technical Anti-Tamper Security Classification Guides (SCG) using technical writing skills.
• Teach learning modules within Anti-Tamper courses to industry and Government participants, and assist in curriculum development, as required.

Qualifications Required:

•  Minimum of 10 years of relevant DoD work experience (years of experience may be waiverable with customer approval).
• No less than three (3) years’ experience in a SAP and/or SCI environment within the last five (5) years (SAP/SCI experience may be waiverable with customer approval).

Education:

•  BS and MS degree in Electrical, Radar, Software, Microelectronics, or Computer Engineering (Master’s degree may be waiverable with customer approval).

Even better if you have these desired skills:

•  Experience with Program Protection planning and implementation in weapon system programs.
• Experience evaluating current fielded weapons systems to determine anti-tamper and reverse engineering susceptibility based on vendor design.
• Experience identifying susceptibility of critical protected information from exploitation and reverse engineering.
• Experience supporting development of industry and DoD standards for future weapons systems to improve resistance to reverse engineering exploitation.
• Experience working with industry to assess tamper resistance of current weapons systems within the acquisition development cycle.

Clearance Requirements:

• Possess an active Top Secret security clearance, based upon a Single Scope Background (SSBI/SBPR).
• Must be eligible for Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) and Special Access Programs (SAP) access.
