Stennis Space Center, MS (ON-SITE/OFFICE)

R-00130798

Description

Leidos has an opening for a Mathematician at John C. Stennis Space Center, in Mississippi. This is an exciting opportunity to use your experience to help the Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) in their critical support to the U.S. Navy’s Undersea Warfare programs.

MUST POSSESS ACTIVE TOP SECRET/SCI CLEARANCE

The analyses and products developed by NAVOCEANO scientists provide Navy-standard and custom characterizations of acoustic and geophysical properties of the ocean, which are essential to environmental modeling and acoustic performance predictions. We work with government physical scientists, technologists and oceanographers to discover, process and analyze marine geo-acoustic properties, underwater sound propagation, ambient noise, and oceanographic parameters, develop specialized databases and build products used for fleet ocean forecasts/predictions and operations. NAVOCEANO is a significant operational component and storied foundation of the U.S. Navy Oceanography Program, with over 190 years of continuous support to America’s Navy. You will be an important part of that legacy and the forward leaning organization of naval operational oceanography based at Stennis.

The Mathematician position will work as a senior level interdisciplinary scientist as part of a team embedded within the NAVOCEANO Acoustics Department. You will receive mission guidance and priorities from government Technical Points of Contact but will have considerable latitude in day-to-day activities involving the data discovery, preparation and analysis needed to develop and update acoustic databases, models and special products. Mastery of physical science theories, principles, practices, and techniques is required, including skills in physics, geophysics, oceanography, mathematics, and statistics sufficient to solve new and difficult problems in underwater acoustics not susceptible to treatment by accepted methods.

Requirements:

• Master’s degree in Physics, Oceanography, Acoustics, Mathematics, or other relevant field with at least 15-20 years’ experience
• Knowledge of underwater acoustics, sound propagation , marine ambient noise, and seafloor geologic and geophysical properties as they relate to acoustic sound interactions, including e xperience using underwater acoustic models to predict transmission loss and determine geo-acoustic properties
• Experience in Matlab and/or Mathmatica programming and analysis techniques
• Experience in scripting languages (python etc.) in Windows & LINUX environments
• Experience working with geographic information systems, such as ESRI products
• Experience researching/data-mining for acoustic data types
• Experience integrating acoustic data into databases, models and/or products
• Experience analyzing measured environmental and acoustic data properties, including transmission loss
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, along with excellent written and oral communication skills
• Ability to work independently or as part of a team
• Able to suggest solutions and implement as needed.

Original Posting Date: 2024-03-19
While subject to change based on business needs, Leidos reasonably anticipates that this job requisition will remain open for at least 3 days with an anticipated close date of no earlier than 3 days after the original posting date as listed above.

Pay Range: Pay Range $122,200.00 - $220,900.00

The Leidos pay range for this job level is a general guideline only and not a guarantee of compensation or salary. Additional factors considered in extending an offer include (but are not limited to) responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities, as well as internal equity, alignment with market data, applicable bargaining agreement (if any), or other law.
