F-35 aircraft flight science discipline engineer. This candidate will be expected to lead and use
their technical expertise to develop aircraft analysis methods, test planning, test execution, and
train less experience engineers. The candidate will have flight test experience and have a broad
knowledge of all related disciplines. Candidate will be responsible for engaging as a lead role
position in performing a variety of flight test pre-mission preparations, flight-to-flight clearances
for future flights, test plan technical updates, test card review against structure airframe
operational limitations and clearances, simulation predictions, simulation maneuver
development, input to test pilots and flight test engineers, real time testing, post flight analysis,
and report writing.
Candidate will be responsible for tracking instrumentation issues and anomalies, coordinating
instrumentation repairs, conducting pre-flight load predictions. Candidate must have prior
experience in a minor lead role in a project leading less experience engineers. The candidate
will be expected to proactively work without appreciable direction. Exercises considerable
latitude in determining technical objectives and approaches to assignment.
Guides the successful completion of major programs and may function in a project leadership
role. This position also involves significant teamwork and coordination with flight test co-workers
in a variety of disciplines (pilots, mechanics, and inspectors, instrumentation, and data
technicians), qualification or certification authority representatives and subject matter expert
design engineers. Frequent inter-organizational and outside customer contacts. Represents the
organization in providing solutions to difficult technical issues associated with specific projects.
Applies extensive technical expertise, and has full knowledge of other related disciplines. The
candidate will work as a lead role under light direction of senior engineers and will be expected
to coordinate with other teams within the program. Develops technical solutions to complex
problems which require the regular use of ingenuity and creativity. Represents the organization
as the prime technical contact on contracts and projects. Interacts with senior external personnel on significant technical matters often requiring coordination between organizations.
