The Command and Control Information Services (C2IS) Risk Reduction Effort project is a risk reduction effort associated with the U.S. Air Force Air & Space Operations Center Weapon System Integrator program. The C2IS project focuses on evaluating various architectural approaches implemented within a Service Oriented Architecture environment that ensures consistent, correct, and timely information is provided to the warfighter whether it be at the enterprise level or out on the distributed edge.

The C2IS project involves both a trade study (to evaluate the architectural approaches) as well as an implementation/demonstration based on the chosen architectural approach. This position is for a software savvy systems engineer capable and willing to perform tasks in the system definition, architecture, requirements decomposition, software development and system integration and test over the multiple phases of a software intensive project. Skills needed include: Planning, designing, developing, testing, operating, maintaining, and documenting software or applications for software enhancements and new products. Researching and developing computer software systems, applying principles and techniques of computer science, engineering, and mathematical analysis. In addition, the candidate may be required to perform functional analysis, timeline analysis, detail trade studies, requirements allocation and interface definition studies to translate customer requirements into software specifications.

Knowledge of Tactical or Air and Space Operations Center operations or system components is strongly desired.

BS Degree in engineering +7 years of demonstrated results or equivalent experience. Advanced degree recommended.

Candidates must have systems engineering experience conducting requirements analysis and developing system level requirements, artifacts, and design products such as Software Requirements Specifications (SRS), Interface Requirements Specifications (IRS), System Design Documents (SDD), Interface Control Documents (ICD), and Interface Design Documents (IDD). Experience conducting system functional analysis incl uding trade studies and white paper analysis as needed. Experience developing software architectures, designing, implementing and testing software applications using state-of-the-art technologies, methodologies, and development environments. Knowledge and experience working with high-availability, virtualized environments.
