Description

Position Summary We are recruiting for multiple Hardware Sustainment Engineers for the Engineering, Professional, and Administrative Support Services (EPASS) Contract at Peterson SFB, in Colorado Springs, CO supporting the Ground-Based Radar Digitization (GBRD) program. The Ground-Based Radar Digitization (GBRD) program modernizes the legacy radar systems associated with the five Upgraded Early Warning Radars (UEWRs) and the Perimeter Acquisition Radar Attack Characterization System (PARCS), which provide continuous surveillance for missile and satellite detection, tracking, and reporting to support Missile Warning, Missile Defense, and Space Domain Awareness missions. This modernization effort replaces outdated analog and hardware-only components with advanced digital, scalable solutions that leverage a government-owned, open-architecture approach. An additional program goal is to address existing cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the legacy systems by improving cybersecurity capabilities, to include threat detection and data protection. This is a full-time position located at Peterson Space Force Base, Colorado. ***This position is contingent upon contract award******** Responsibilities Duties include but are not limited to: Perform technical surveillance of critical safety items, research approved sources for these items, and the oversight of the design configuration baselines (basic design engineering responsibility for the overall configuration including design packages, maintenance procedures, and usage profiles) for the fielded system to ensure continued certification compliance are also part of the sustaining engineering effort. Perform periodic technical reviews of the in-service system performance against baseline requirements, analysis of trends, and development of management options and resource requirements for resolution of operational issues as part of the sustaining effort. Sustaining engineering consists of a combination of systems engineering and product support life-cycle management strategies to achieve the desired sustainment metric outcomes for the program. These metrics include the DoD required Key Performance Parameter (KPP) of Availability, the Key System Attributes (KSAs) of Reliability and Total Ownership Cost, the recommended metric, Mean Down Time, plus other subordinate program metrics. The focus is on understanding the cost and logistics infrastructure and footprint associated with meeting the Warfighter requirements and the process to track, control and/or reduce metric results over the life cycle of the weapon system. The current view of integrated product support requires that the Life Cycle Sustainment Plan include and implement an integrated strategy, inclusive of all the Product Support Elements and Program functional areas, that is reviewed and reported on throughout the acquisition life cycle. In the past, Sustaining Engineering activities were the primary responsibility of engineering and product development, with Sustaining Engineering activities conducted during Operations & Support being planned and implemented often under separate contract line items and separate management. In addition to those sustaining engineering activities mentioned above, other activities include technology refreshment, technology insertion and Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Materiel Shortages (DMSMS). Perform work supporting sustainment of mature/legacy HW-SW systems. Functions as lead to identify and define substitute parts and alternative designs to support sustainment of complex systems (EX: radar systems). Participates in Supply Support Integrated Product Team (SSIPT) identifying sustainment high interest items, design improvements, deficiencies, and watch items.
