The Mission Systems and Weapons Integration Engineer is responsible for the mechanical, electrical, and software integration of weapons, pylons, Stores Management System (SMS) functions, and mission equipment into the aircraft, ensuring safe separation, standards compliance, and seamless digital interoperability across the mission system architecture. This role requires deep expertise in Open Mission Systems (OMS) and the Universal Command and Control Interface (UCI), including service definition, command-and-control message structures, telemetry mapping, state-machine behavior, and API-level integration. The engineer integrates legacy standards such as MIL-STD-1760, MIL-STD-1553, and the Universal Armament Interface (UAI) with OMS/UCI-compliant mission software, ensuring all mission and weapons subsystems conform to the aircraft Interface Control Document (ICD) and integrate reliably into Software-in-the-Loop (SITL), Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL), and Joint Simulation Environment (JSE) environments.
