Job Summary
McBride Consulting has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Systems Engineer providing support to the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center/Airborne Warning and Control System (AFLCMC/HBS/WIW). The Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) Division has the collective Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) mission responsibility to deliver airborne Battle Management Command & Control (BMC2) capabilities that support joint allied coalition humanitarian and homeland defense operations. Modernization efforts enable continued involvement with worldwide operations by revitalizing legacy mission systems replacing aging computer architectures integrating multisensor data fusion and improving global expeditionary readiness and availability. Additionally the Division assists in the planned divestiture of the E3 platform and in shaping development of followon capabilities for future airborne C2 systems.
This is a full time Hybrid position located at Tinker AFB OK.
