Standard Job Description
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics. Be More Than You Can Imagine.
Advanced Electronic Warfare (EW) capabilities enable F-35 pilots to locate and track enemy forces, jam radars and disrupt attacks with unparalleled effectiveness. Advanced avionics give the pilot real-time access to battle space information with 360-degree coverage and an unparalleled ability to dominate the tactical environment. Data collected by sensors on the F-35 will immediately be shared with commanders at sea, in the air or on the ground, providing an instantaneous, high-fidelity view of ongoing operations - making the F-35 a formidable force multiplier while enhancing coalition operations. This system allows F-35 pilots to reach well-defended targets and suppress enemy radars.
The F-35 CRT SE Design team is in need of a Systems Engineering BOE lead to support the cross functional engineers developing the Common Reprogramming Tool (CRT). This role will create detailed cost‑estimate BOEs for CRT hardware, software, and services, keep BOEs current throughout the project lifecycle, reflecting design changes, trade‑studies, and risk‑mitigation actions and also coordinate with finance, procurement, and program managers to validate assumptions and align with program budgets. The selected candidate will also develop functional, logical, and physical architectures; produce system block diagrams, interface control documents, and design review artifacts for the tool. The selected candidate will be responsible for working with teams to ensure software development processes are properly defined and adhered to and educating teams in software development processes. The selected candidate will be responsible for collection and analysis of team metrics, generation and review of labor estimates, support of release execution and verification, and participation in development milestone reviews.
Candidate must be able to obtain a clearance and must process for a company-sponsored secret clearance prior to start.
