Modeling and Simulation Radar VV&A Analyst

What You’ll Do

• Apply radar expertise to enhance and validate complex MDS modeling and simulation environments.
• Develop and execute sensitivity studies to evaluate radar performance characteristics within MDA M&S frameworks.
• Create and execute analytical tools and code (HWIL and Digital Model assessments) to evaluate models against requirements and determine suitability for operational use.
• Research and interpret technical model documentation, academic papers, and system data to support VV&A evidence development.
• Collaborate with software developers, model producers, and accreditation agents to establish high-quality V&V evidence and resolve modeling discrepancies.
• Contribute to a multi-agency, highly technical environment focused on improving model fidelity and supporting real-world mission readiness.

Required Qualifications

• BS or MS in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related discipline.
• 7+ years of relevant radar, modeling, or system analysis experience.
• Active DoD Secret clearance (or higher).
• Strong understanding of radar fundamentals and environmental effects (refraction, atmospheric absorption, scintillation, sky noise).
• Familiarity with MDA radar LRIDs (logical record indicators).
• Experience with radar discrimination, especially wideband features.
• Knowledge of radar debris mitigation logic.
• Experience with phased array radar modeling/simulation or tactical hardware (preferred).
• Proficiency with MATLAB and/or Python (plus).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to produce briefings, reports, and documentation.
