Responsibilities:

Personnel performing in this position shall be experienced and motivated engineering professionals with the necessary skills to support the ATEA Field Program Office (FPO) by accomplishing highly technical tasks in a classified work environment. Personnel shall apply knowledge of and expertise in DoD, AF and common engineering and scientific principles, criteria and procedures to improve planned and existing AF and joint service weapon system manufacture, operations, re-manufacture and de-militarization operations and oversight. Individuals will work with the DoD ATEA FPO and industry partners in assessing current and future weapons systems’ susceptibilities/vulnerabilities to adversary’s exploitation. It is highly desired that personnel in this position have expertise in understanding integrated circuitry, industry standard processors, and memory chips and be familiar with lab equipment used to assess and exploit circuity, processors, and memory chips as well as have familiarity with methodologies for reverse engineering electronic systems and integrated circuitry.

Your essential job functions will include but may not be limited to:

• Display expertise in understanding integrated circuitry, industry standard processors, and memory chips and be familiar with lab equipment used to assess and exploit circuity, processors, and memory chips as well as have familiarity with methodologies for reverse engineering electronic systems and integrated circuitry.
• 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, assists in developing system concepts and performs 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.
• Provide 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.
• Evaluate systems’ test plans and Test and Evaluation Master Plans and participates in the conduct of system, subsystem and component testing.
• 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:

• Minimum of 20 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).
• Possess an active Top Secret security clearance, based upon a Single Scope Background (SSBI or SBPR).

Desired skills:

• 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.

Education:

• BS and MS degree in Electrical, Radar, Software, Microelectronics, or Computer Engineering (Master’s degree may be waiverable with customer approval).

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.
