> every engineering team has government engineers working side by side with their contractor counterparts
I'm curious about the government engineers and their roles: Do you mean aeronautical and other engineers who do the core development and design work? Or do they monitor, provide customer input, ensure quality, and do other oversight of the contractor's engineers? Or something else?
Also, whose payroll are they on? Defense Contract Management Agency? Some other Dept of Defense group? Air Force?

- engi_nerd 11y agoThe short answer to every one of those questions is: yes. There are government people who were involved with design work from the beginning. There are also engineers who directly participate in test/evaluation (not just in the supervisory roles, either, I mean engineers who are actually doing tests). And there are also those who are in a supervisory role. There are DoD people (from all kinds of agencies), there are DCMA people, people on active duty in the military... With a program this big and that has already lasted over 15 years, the answer is going to be "yes".
