Skills

Personnel performing in this position are experienced and motivated engineering professionals with the necessary skills to support the DoD Anti‑Tamper Executive Agent Field Program Office (ATEA FPO) with the following:

• Provide engineering support in requirements identification, evaluation, testing and integration, specifically with Program Protection planning and anti‑tamper methodologies.
• Provide engineering support for technology and product acquisitions to include long‑term planning, request for proposal (RFP) development, and technical oversight of ongoing projects.
• Assess acquired capabilities in achieving system design requirements and specifications.
• Identify technologies and evaluate system/subsystem design functions and improvements to protect Critical Program Information (CPI).
• Develop plans to assess security features of Government Off‑The‑Shelf (GOTS) and Commercial Off‑The‑Shelf (COTS) components for CPI susceptibility/vulnerability to exploitation and reverse engineering.
• Work with DoD Anti‑Tamper Evaluation Teams to understand current designs and identify vulnerabilities to foreign and adversary exploitation.
• Assist efforts to improve US weapons system anti‑tamper/anti‑exploitation design, development, manufacturing, training, and sustainment.
• Provide support to Anti‑Tamper courses by teaching modules to industry and Government participants, and assist with curriculum development and updates, as required.

Responsibilities

This position requires a thorough understanding of the DoD systems engineering process, as well as policy and procedures in the acquisition, manufacturing, fielding, and sustainment, modernization and disposal of new, existing and future weapons systems and capabilities, with specific experience in weapon system Program Protection planning and microelectronics. Personnel shall 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.

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 15+ 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).
