Test Bed Systems Engineering Management

ENSCO Inc is a diverse engineering and technology company that provides engineering, science and advanced technology solutions that guarantee mission success, safety, and security to governments and private industries worldwide. ENSCO provides technical subject matter experts to support the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). Duties will include:

* Provide recommendations and functional analysis of technology specifications to define test objectives and parameters across the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) spectrum for the development of the Statement of Test Objectives (SOTO).
* Provide recommendations and functional analysis of technology specifications across the CBRNE spectrum for the development of the Test Requirements Document (TRD), Test Design Document (TDD), and Test Execution Document (TEP).
* Develop system engineering standards to measure the effectiveness of weapon system technologies against targets within the full WMD and C-WMD spectrum.
* Perform systems engineering assessments supporting Nuclear Fuel Cycle testing events.
* Perform systems engineering assessments supporting improvised explosive devices, pre and post detonation.
* Perform functions in the full spectrum WMD/C-WMD and CBRNE space to define limited access of technology gaps for weapons and weapon systems.
* Perform systems engineering for nuclear and non-nuclear weapons and weapon systems including small unmanned aerial vehicles (sUAS) to support technology growth in defined capability gaps.
* Background in performing job duties in areas with exposure to heavy construction, confined space environments, rattlesnakes, spiders, rodents, radiation, extremes in weather and walking or driving over hazardous terrain, in underground tunnels and target structures.
* Personnel performing this task shall be respiratory qualified and capable of wearing a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) (approximately 50 lbs.) while performing phased re-entry of test beds and target structures.
* Contractor personnel performing this task shall be capable of operating government or rental vehicles and towing cargo or equipment trailers with a gross combined vehicle weight of less than 26,000 lbs.
* Contractor personnel performing this task shall operate utility terrain vehicles.
* Significant travel to test locations will be required.

Qualifications Required

* Experience providing systems engineering recommendations and functional analysis of technology specifications to define test objectives, parameters, requirements, designs, and execution documentation across the CBRNE, WMD, and Counter-WMD spectrum, including SOTO, TRD, TDD, and TEP development.
* Experience performing systems engineering assessments for nuclear and non-nuclear weapons and weapon systems, Nuclear Fuel Cycle testing, WMD Defeat, Hard Target Defeat, improvised explosive devices, homemade explosives, small unmanned aerial vehicles, and counter radio electronic warfare systems.
* Ability to identify technology gaps and capability shortfalls, develop trade-off analyses to enhance performance while minimizing cost and programmatic risk, and support technology maturation roadmaps for weapon systems and related test capabilities.
* Ability to perform test bed and test article preparation, verification, and readiness support; serve as an on-site technical point of contact; support matrixed test teams as a Test Scientist, Technical Coordinator, and/or Site Coordinator; and perform duties in accordance with RD-TS test operations policy.
* Ability to support field test operations involving CBRNE agents/materials, pharmaceutical-based agents, toxic industrial chemicals/materials, IED and UAS threats, low-level radiological source handling, and assembly of Radiation Signature Testing Devices.
* Ability to work in hazardous field-test environments, including heavy construction areas, permit-required confined spaces, underground tunnels, target structures, hazardous terrain, radiation environments, extreme weather, and areas with biological/environmental hazards; must be respiratory qualified and able to wear Level A PPE and SCBA, approximately 50 pounds.
* Ability to operate government or rental vehicles, tow cargo or equipment trailers with a gross combined vehicle weight of less than 26,000 pounds, operate utility terrain vehicles, be cross-utilized across RD-TS support areas, and travel as required to support testing.

* OSHA Permit-Required Confined Space Training.
* OSHA 510 Construction training, OSHA 511 General Industry training, and OSHA 7405 Fall Protection training or Occupational Safety degree or Associate or higher Safety Professional credential.
* OSHA Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response, HAZWOPER, 40-hour Training.
* Must have a current TS clearance and the ability to obtain a TS/SCI level clearance. U.S. citizenship is required.

Qualifications Desired

* Direct experience supporting DTRA RD-TS test operations or similar DoD research, development, test, and evaluation programs.
* Experience supporting WMD Defeat, Counter-WMD, Hard Target Defeat, CBRNE, Nuclear Fuel Cycle, improvised explosive device, homemade explosives, small unmanned aerial vehicle, or counter radio electronic warfare test programs.
* Experience developing or supporting Statements of Test Objectives, Test Requirements Documents, Test Design Documents, Test Execution Documents, test plans, technical reports, briefings, or customer-facing deliverables.
* Experience serving as a Test Scientist, Technical Coordinator, Site Coordinator, on-site technical point of contact, or similar role within matrixed test teams.
* Experience identifying technology gaps, capability shortfalls, design limits, margins, or performance measures at the weapon system, subsystem, or component level.
* Experience developing trade-off analyses, technology maturation roadmaps, requirements recommendations, or programmatic risk assessments for weapon systems or test capabilities.
* Experience supporting test bed/test article preparation, verification, readiness activities, infrastructure coordination, or field-test execution at government test sites.
* Experience supporting radiological test events, low-level radiological source handling, Radiation Signature Testing Device assembly, or related radiological test operations.
* Experience working in hazardous field environments, including confined spaces, underground tunnels, target structures, heavy construction areas, radiological environments, extreme weather, or hazardous terrain.
* Experience using or working around Level A PPE, SCBA, respiratory protection programs, utility terrain vehicles, cargo/equipment trailers, or government/rental vehicles in field-test environments.

* OSHA HAZWOPER 8-hour Refresher Training.
* DTRA Site-Specific Underground Training.
