The Link-16 SME and Interface Engineer will lead in authoring the development of ICDs and IDDs especially Link-16 related. The Link-16 Interface SME / Engineer is considered the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for C2BMC. As such, specific duties include authoring Link-16 ICDs and IDDs, providing expertise to the interface developers within the software team on the integration of Link-16 messaging. This includes establishing new interfaces between external elements, including sensors, and other Command and Control Systems. They will ensure the ICDs and IDDs created are to appropriate standards required of the program. Additionally, it is expected that the Link-16 Interface SME develop various behavioral diagrams to understand and document the requirements. The Link-16 Interface SME / Engineer will create requirements, captured in DOORS and at sufficient detail to provide clear understanding to the implementation teams. The Link-16 Interface SMEs primary responsibility will be developing and updating of multiple Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and Interface Design Documents (IDDs). Successful candidate will attend interface working group meetings with MDA customer and representatives of assigned external element engineering organization as well as support to program integration and test related efforts for the associated interface. Successful candidate may also be assigned to support: other interface engineers in developing ICDs for other BMDS Elements, support requirements engineering, use case development, and logical architecture modeling tasks as SE department tasking requires. Successful candidate will support spiral leadership to assure interface artifacts and system assessment tasks required for the assigned sensor interface are completed when required.
