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.
