رقيب أول، كبير رقباء
Explanation:
In fact, I didn't find such a rank in US Air Force website. (using the rule "senior sergeant")
They have Senior Master Sergeant. I suggest that you paste the full sentence.

Though using vice-versa translation to my suggested Arabic term will give different result 'Master Sergeant'.
