Air Force Cost Analysis Agency (AFCAA), has a requirement to obtain a full-time, on-site, senior level engineer, with reach back to his/her company, to provi de support to the Aircraft and Weapons Division (hereto referred to as the FMA Division) of the AFCAA. The base year contract would be for 9 months, and there would four (4) 12-month option periods. The senior engineer must have extensive experience in t he fields of military aerospace, electronics, and related industrial engineering; knowledge of historical and current state of military aerospace and electronics markets, technology, and future trends; can work side-by-side with Government analysts and oth er support contractor analysts; can clearly communicate complex technical and engineering concepts with personnel who have technical expertise ranging from none to significant; enjoys educating other individuals through on the job communication and/or th rough organized briefings; and willing to work on-site at the Government’s Arlington (Crystal City), VA location full-time. The engineer will assist AFCAA in the following areas: § Evaluate the technical baselines of aircraft, airborne electronics programs, and air-launched weapon programs for which AFCAA is performing an independent cost estimate and assess the designs for technical maturity and areas of potential technical ris k that may lead to schedule and cost growth. The contractor shall review and challenge as necessary engineering assessments made by program offices, Office of Secretary of Defense, and contractors that may impact cost and risk analyses. § Assist AFCAA’s cost teams in developing appropriate technical inputs for cost estimating relationships used in estimates and develop estimating analogies to similar historical programs. § Develop, provide, and maintain program and technical databases and case histories that can serve as a stand-alone source of historical data or can support a historical cost database. This includes documenting the technical challenges faced by aircraft , airborne electronics, and air-launched weapon programs as they relate to schedule and cost overruns, lessons learned from other programs, and identifying emerging trends in aerospace and electronics technology. § Work with junior and senior cost analysts to increase their knowledge and understanding of key technical and programmatic drivers inherent in aviation, weapons, and electronics development and production programs and to understand technology trends wi thin the market place associated with these programs. This training takes place through normal day-to-day interaction with the analysts and through development and presentation of training briefings as directed by the Government technical representative. While pursuing the four goals described above, the contractor shall develop and maintain excellent working relationships with the Government analysts and those from other contractors while working with them on-site on a daily basis and reach back into the contractor’s off-site organization to supply science and engineering assistance in matters outside the contractor’s area of expertise.
