What are the responsibilities and job description for the Sensor, Electronic Warfare, and Weapon System Modeling Lead position at Astrion?
SEG supports the US Navy and Missile Defense Agency (MDA) by performing trade studies, design prototyping, and analysis of radars, EO/IR sensors, seeker systems, electronic warfare systems, and weapon systems. We are seeking an experienced radar systems modeling engineer to lead the development and execution of a technical roadmap to integrate existing simulations, add new capabilities, and deliver the simulations to both support internal analysis and as inclusion in deliverable simulations to our government customers and end-users. The engineer will be responsible for understanding customer requirements, leading a team of engineers and software developers to design and develop simulation solutions, and demonstrating the capability to customers and stakeholders.
Qualifications
Required Skills:
- Candidates must possess at least a bachelor’s degree in a technical discipline such as Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics.
- Candidates must have at least 10 years of experience in the design of, or analysis of sensor systems, seekers, electronic warfare systems, or weapon systems.
- Strong people skills and technical leadership experience are a must.
Desired Skills and Experience:
- Detailed experience modeling radar systems that support MDA and Navy missions
- Experience performing radar system modeling, performance prediction, and data analysis
- Experience with Digital Signal Processing and/or Digital Beam Forming
- Familiarity with electronic attack and protection techniques
- Radar engineering analysis, including the use of Blake charts
- Focal plan array design and analysis
- Strong Matlab and Python skills
- Graduate-level coursework and/or hands-on project experience in radar systems and radar signal processing
- Prior experience with sensor HW design, signal processing, tracking algorithms, and/or resource management
- Experience in sensor modeling and simulation including algorithm and software development
- Experience in development of simulation tools and test tools for sensor analysis
The candidate must be a US citizen and have a background that would permit the U.S. Department of Defense to issue a Secret clearance
Responsibilities
The engineer will be expected to prioritize new simulation tool capabilities while maintaining existing ones. The engineer should not only task the team but be able to participate in the design and development of the product as a key team member. The ideal candidate has 15 to 20 years of radar systems engineering experience, including radar system modeling and simulation, design, test, and analysis.
