Key Responsibilities:
- Serve as anengineer supporting the AN/SPY-1 Signal Processor subsystemacross all radar variants (D, D(V), D(MOD)).
- Participate in efforts to analyze and document thedesign and functional behaviorof legacy signal processor components, including digital processing modules, interface cards, and timing assemblies.
- Supportdesign recovery and traceability efforts, working from GFI, limited technical data, or harvested hardware.
- Define and support the development ofprototype subassemblies, repair processes, and test capabilities to validate organic sustainment approaches.
- Develop and validatefunctional test procedures, signal flow diagrams, and performance benchmarks.
- Identifycritical components at risk due to obsolescence, and support alternate part qualification, reverse engineering, or redesign as necessary.
- Coordinate with systems engineers, test engineers, and OEM partners to ensure alignment withweapon system interface requirementsand mission-critical timing/data processing functionality.
- Provide technical input toIntegrated Technical Data Packages (ITDPs), depot stand-up planning, and operator/maintainer training materials.
- Ensure test and repair processes comply withNAVSEA and METCAL standardswhere applicable.
