Job description

Description

ASRC Federal System Solutions, LLC. (AFSS), a subsidiary of ASRC Federal, is a premier provider of systems engineering, software engineering, system integration, Civil Engineering, and project management services for real-time, mission-critical defense systems. AFSS is seeking a Senior Hardware Engineer to work within the Ground-Based Radar Maintenance and Sustainment Services (GMASS) Depot Integrated Product Team (IPT) based in Colorado Springs, CO.

As a Computer Systems Hardware Engineer you will be a key member of the Depot team responsible for sustainment and Depot Level Maintenance required for supporting the Upgraded Early Warning Radar (UEWR) operational sites. This role will report to the Depot IPT Lead and work collaboratively with other functional disciplines to perform depot repair actions for processing equipment a radar subsystem components. The ideal candidate should have a strong foundational knowledge in the integration of computer system hardware components and infrastructure design (i.e., Rack Elevations, Engineering Drawings, Electrical Power, Heating & Cooling). Collaboration across a multi disciplined IPT to diagnose, troubleshoot, document, integrate and test several high-performance computer environments is paramount. Experience with the UEWR weapon system or similar ground-based phased array radar systems is highly desirable.

Job Duties Include:

• Collaboratively define and document the computer system and support infrastructure design.
• Develop engineering drawings and associated bill of materials.
• Familiarity with the HW engineering baseline (Change requests, redlines, document as built).

• Active DoD Secret clearance at the time of application
• Familiar with engineering drawings and baseline management processes
• Experience with cable management and various cable types typical for IT and radar subsystem environments (Ethernet, Power, Fiber, RF coax)
• Ability to optimize HW component placement within environments considering airflow, cable management, tip hazards, and density
• Familiar with the use of RF test equipment such as spectrum analyzers
• Familiar with integrating a broad set of commercial hardware system components (i.e., servers, switches, routers, network-attached (storage))
• Experience with Atlassian tool sets (JIRA, Confluence)
• Ability to travel up to 30% domestically and overseas to support five UEWR locations

Preferred Qualifications

• Ability to perform heating and cooling analysis associated with large IT environments
