Description

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. As an Engineer with MTSI, you will be responsible for supporting customers in Special Access Programs (SAP) and Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) facilities. You will interact daily with program managers, other engineers, financial managers, and industry subject matter experts across multiple Services supporting Department of Defense (DoD) Services and Agencies, and Intelligence Community (IC) customers. This position will be located at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. You’ll be a great fit for this role if: You have a passion for DoD systems and advanced technologies. You understand the urgent need to modernize and support our defense systems and give our troops the best possible tools. You are driven to make a meaningful impact through your work. You are passionate about continuous learning and growth, and you seek opportunities to challenge yourself. You have attention to detail and provide excellent customer service in a professional environment. You are a great teammate. Responsibilities: Requires a thorough understanding of the DoD systems engineering process, 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 weapons system Program Protection planning. Experienced and motivated engineering professionals with the necessary skills to support the ATEA FPO by accomplishing highly technical tasks in a classified work environment. 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. Highly desired that personnel in this position have expertise in understanding integrated circuitry, industry standard processors, and memory chips and have familiarity with methodologies for reverse engineering electronic systems and integrated circuitry. 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. 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. 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. 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. Review specifications, including system, system segment and equipment specifications, and Interface Control Documents (ICDs) involved in programs. 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. Provide systems/subsystems integration support for the acquisition, development and verification of systems and equipment. 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 an 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. Evaluating current fielded weapons systems to determine anti-tamper and reverse engineering susceptibility based on vendor design. Identifying susceptibility of critical protected information from exploitation and reverse engineering. Identifying methodologies to improve resistance of current and future electronic circuits to reverse engineering and exploitation. Supporting development of industry and DoD standards for future weapons systems to improve resistance to reverse engineering exploitation. Working with industry to assess tamper resistance of current weapons systems within the acquisition development cycle. Working within the electronic exploitation lab environment, utilizing or having familiarity with state-of-the-art exploitation equipment and instrumentation to evaluate current and new processors, memory units, and electronic circuits to exploit weaknesses, identify improvements to design, and develop new standards to deter technological exploitation. 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. #MTSI #LI-MS1
