Torch Technologies has an exciting opportunity for a
Systems Engineer SME providing support to the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center/PEO Digital Directorate Aerospace Management Systems Division (AFLCMC/HBA) at Hanscom AFB, MA. The Aerospace Management Systems Division Programs develops, delivers, and sustains air traffic management, CNS/ATM avionics expertise, and weather sensing/forecast capabilities enabling military, civil, and allied and foreign military sales customers to achieve their mission.
This position will support the Aloha/Air Route Surveillance Radar Version 4 Replacement – Hawaii (ARSR4R-HI) program. This program will support the replacement of the current Hawaii Air Route Surveillance Radar Version 4 (ARSR-4) to include prototype development, test, site preparation, and installation. The replacement radar will address DoD capability gaps driven by new threats and provide dual use for Hawaii for Air Traffic Control (ATC) and weather monitoring. It is a key component of the USAF's defense of Hawaii as a high priority mission for the DoD and supports NORAD/NORTHCOM and PACAF/INDOPACOM Deterrence Initiatives.
