    Key Responsibilities:

    • Serve as an engineer supporting the AN/SPY-1 Signal Processor subsystem across all radar variants (D, D(V), D(MOD)).
    • Participate in efforts to analyze and document the design and functional behavior of legacy signal processor components, including digital processing modules, interface cards, and timing assemblies.
    • Support design recovery and traceability efforts, working from GFI, limited technical data, or harvested hardware.
    • Define and support the development of prototype subassemblies, repair processes, and test capabilities to validate organic sustainment approaches.
    • Develop and validate functional test procedures, signal flow diagrams, and performance benchmarks.
    • Identify critical 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 with weapon system interface requirements and mission-critical timing/data processing functionality.
    • Provide technical input to Integrated Technical Data Packages (ITDPs), depot stand-up planning, and operator/maintainer training materials.
    • Ensure test and repair processes comply with NAVSEA and METCAL standards where applicable.
