Job description

DCS has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Acquisition Program Electronic Warfare Engineer supporting the Air Force Life Cycle Management Centerat Eglin AFB, Florida. This position provides the knowledge and experience to efficiently and effectively deliver weapons engineering capabilities in support of the acquisition process.

Essential Job Functions:

Provide full-spectrum engineering and technical support across all phases of the DoD acquisition life cycle.

Define, analyze, and translate requirements into system-level designs, architectures, interfaces, and documentation.

Conduct engineering reviews, audits, trade studies, AoAs, system effectiveness assessments, and risk analyses.

Develop technical artifacts including SEPs, design review materials, system specs, and program documentation.

Support integration, verification/validation, configuration management, and life‑cycle sustainment planning.

Evaluate proposals, system modifications, training system requirements, simulators, and technical feasibility.

Perform cost, schedule, producibility, reliability, maintainability, and life‑cycle cost analyses.

Conduct simulation studies for armament systems and model system/component performance.

Provide source‑selection technical advising, milestone documentation development, and program readiness assessments.

Support FMS, program management, risk activities, engineering IPTs, and overall system‑level technical oversight.

Review and analyze system concepts and requirements baselines.

Apply Electronic Warfare (EW) engineering expertise across radar systems, threat simulations, RF propagation, signal processing, EW modeling, test planning, and verification.

Required Skills:

Due to the sensitivity of customer related requirements, US Citizenship is required.

Current Top Secret clearance.

Bachelor of Science degree in related discipline and 20 years of relevant experience; OR Master of Science degree in related discipline and 15 years of relevant experience; OR PhD in related discipline and 5 years of relevant experience.
