Abacus Technology, Warner Robins, Georgia, us, 31099
Overview:
Abacus Technology is seeking a Sr. Electrical Engineer to provide technical support at Robins AFB. This is a full-time position.Responsibilities:Assist in developing and assessing defect prevention strategies and processes for development, production, and deployment of hardware.Assist in performing Quality Assurance (QA) analyses to ensure hardware systems being acquired by the USG can be produced by controlled manufacturing processes at manageable risk to cost, schedule, or user satisfaction.Conduct special studies and analyze broad QA issues common to all USG acquisition programs, including discrete investigations of particular issues using such methods and tools as process variability reduction, statistical process/quality control, defect prevention, metrology, nondestructive evaluation, QA, or automated inspection.Assist in reviewing and assessing contractor QA planning and progress.Evaluate the quality system of the weapon system prime/subcontractor or depot, to the degree it impacts the system being acquired and assess the quality planning, discipline, and effectiveness, including weapon system prime/subcontractor use of advanced quality tools, techniques, and systems.Assist in analyzing weapon system prime/subcontractor strategies, plans, and activities to identify opportunities for improvement.Assist in identification and analyses of major cost/risk trade-offs and lifecycle cost considerations.Support quality audits to include hardware audits.Assist in hardware quality evaluations by disassembly, inspection, and testing of a representative unit of production to the assembly level.Provide assistance preparing a description of broad quality strategies for defect prevention covering product and process design, production, and deployment.Determine appropriate program QA requirements and prepare descriptions of tasks for inclusion in the contract PWS.Provide QA inputs to initial test planning for hardware.
Qualifications:15+ years experience in electrical and avionics engineering including at least 5 years supporting DoD programs. Bachelors degree in a related field. Able to apply an understanding of DoD, AF, and common engineering/scientific principles, processes, and procedures to improve performance and sustainability of existing and future AF and joint service weapon systems. Must have experience with aircraft systems engineering. Knowledge of systems engineering in support of system definition, development, integration, verification methods, sustainment, risk modeling/simulation, testing and evaluation, human system integration (HSI), crew stations engineering, OSS&E efforts, interoperability requirements, and airworthiness certification across a wide range of hardware and software systems, including ground-based systems. Able to access/maintain government electronic technical systems including but not limited to Integrated Electronic Technical Management System (IETMS) and Joint Computer-Aided Acquisition and Logistics Support (JCALS) system preferred. Thorough understanding of application software, operating systems, networks, storage platforms, and how they relate to system architecture. Experience working on each stage of the system development life cycle from initiation through deployment/sustainment. Demonstrated proficiency with process modeling and developing workflow diagrams. Able to elicit and interpret requirements and translate to technical specifications/system design following best practices and design patterns. Capable of performing: problem/gap definition, trade space analysis, science and technology roadmap analysis, Set based design for concept development, Multi-Objective Decision Analysis (MODA) and cost versus capability trade off analysis. Able to communicate with management, technical staff, and end users in a clear and professional manner. Experience with engineering practices, techniques, and standards. Excellent oral and written communication skills with the ability to develop and present technical presentations. Able to represent complex data in diagrams or through other techniques that communicate precise information to both business and technical staff. Proven ability to understand the strategic and tactical approach to projects and handle multiple projects concurrently. Must be a US citizen and hold a current Secret clearance.Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.EOE/M/F/Vet/Disabled
