## Description

As a Systems Engineer your duties include but are not limited to the following:

 * Lead System Safety Program activities providing senior technical guidance on hazard analysis, risk assessment, and system safety requirements.
 * Oversee the development, review, and validation of system safety artifacts (e.g., SSHA, SAR, O&SHA, hazard logs, risk-tracking documentation).
 * Perform high-complexity evaluations of OEM safety assessments, identifying analytical errors, validating probability models, and ensuring risks are accurately characterized-mirroring demonstrated duties such as detecting flawed OEM Risk Reduction Safety Assessments and correcting probability-based risk rankings.
 * Deliver senior-level recommendations that support Air Force operational approvals, safety-policy decisions, and risk-acceptance processes.
 * Provide expert safety oversight for developmental and operational test events, ensuring ground tests, flight tests, interoperability tests, and reliability tests incorporate correct safety constraints and mitigations.
 * Review T&E plans, procedures, and results for safety impacts and ensure alignment with program safety objectives and Air Force standards.
 * Fulfill PWS-directed security requirements, including classified-material handling, SCI product management, and vault-access operations-as reflected in documented system-safety roles.
 * Maintain strict compliance with PWS security and information-protection requirements (classified product tracking, SCI event support, and secure-facility procedures).
 * Advise program leadership on safety risks and requirements across technology maturation, design reviews, test readiness, fielding decisions, sustainment activities, and configuration changes.
 * Represent the program office in high-visibility technical reviews, safety boards, and briefings to senior stakeholders.
 * Partner with engineering, T&E organizations, configuration management, OEM partners, logistics, cybersecurity, reliability engineering, and operational units to ensure safety considerations are embedded throughout the acquisition process.
 * Guide and mentor junior engineers in system-safety methodology, Air Force policy, and acquisition best practices
