Systems and Test Engineers

 Job Description:

Job description:

The AMRAAM Program Office requires skilled Electrical and Computer Engineers to fill critical systems engineering roles. Engineers in this domain are responsible for developing and implementing the comprehensive systems engineering strategy for the AMRAAM missile system. Key responsibilities include evaluating the necessity of retestingcomponents and full systems, assessing whether retesting is required at the factory, on the plane, or in a storage bunker. This function requires translating inputs from failure analysis and simulation into concrete test plans that align with the required management of the Operational Flight Program. Success requires mastering the strategic allocation of test resources to maximize program efficiency and minimize operational risk.

LOCATION - Warner Robin, GA

Clearance - Secret (with special access)

AMRAAM Experience - 3yrs minimum up to 10+

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (WR-ALC) at Robins Air Force Base is involved in the sustainment and maintenance of the AIM-120 AMRAAM (Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile) inventory, specifically focusing on certain component-level work.

Key activities include:

  • Rocket Motor Transfers: The base has been involved in projects to transfer good rocket motors from older AIM-120A missiles to newer AIM-120B/C missiles, which have higher capabilities and can be updated with current software.
  • Avionics Maintenance: The 402nd Electronics Maintenance Group at WR-ALC is a center of excellence for avionics repair, which includes working on electronic aspects of various systems, potentially including certain AMRAAM components, to provide combat-ready parts.
  • Logistics Management: The base provides life cycle sustainment support and logistics management for various armament and electronic commodities, which includes the AMRAAM system.
  • Hosting International Reviews: Warner Robins hosts the "AMRAAM International Users' Review," a forum for partner nations to discuss the missile program.

While the WR-ALC primarily performs programmed depot maintenance on specific aircraft like the F-15, C-5, C-130, and C-17, its role regarding the AMRAAM is more focused on logistics support, component repair/sustainment, and specific modernization programs, rather than full missile production or complete overhaul of the entire weapon system.
