Principal/Sr. Principal Engineer Systems

About the role

The selected engineer will perform as a member of an interdisciplinary team on key efforts to develop novel and innovative solutions to advanced technical problems. The successful engineer will contribute to the overall development of Radar Performance Algorithms, including System Concept of Operations (CONOPs) Development, System Mission and Mode Development, Kinematic Trajectory Threat Analysis, Modeling and Simulation of Mission Scenarios, Technology Trade Studies, Requirements Development and Derivation for Radar System Operational Performance, Performance Analysis, Data Analysis, and work with cross-disciplinary Integrated Product Teams (IPTs).

Responsibilities

• Support development and integration of radar subsystems and components to meet platform mission objectives
• Requirements development, analysis, maturation and implementation, translating customer requirements into hardware and software specifications
• Performing functional and performance analyses of Technical Performance Measurements (TPMs) and Key Performance Parameters (KPPs)
• Maintaining and balancing budgets of key radar performance metrics (losses, accuracy, sensitivity)
• Developing mathematical algorithms for mode/sensor implementation
• Soliciting input from various stakeholders, synthesizing data, and communicating results to various levels of leadership within the organization
• Performing mission engineering activities to ensure continuity between desired operational capabilities and delivered system performance, through the Systems Engineering “V”.
• Ensuring performance capabilities of new systems and architectures are traded against cost and mission requirements and assessing operational effectiveness of existing and emerging systems and capabilities in representative operational environments.

Requirements

• Expertise with code prototyping (MATLAB, Python, or related languages)
• Experience working through the Systems Engineering lifecycle process for system development
• Experience with Signals Processing
• Experience with Radar Systems
• Experience with applied Radar Range Equation and Swerling Models for operational performance analysis
• Experience with MS Office tool suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Project)
• Strong problem-solving skills and a demonstrated ability to project plan and execute
• Demonstrated independent planning, organization, and working in cross-functional teams with a customer focus

Qualifications

• Principal Systems Engineer: 5 Years with Bachelors STEM in Science; 3 Years with Masters; 1 Year with PhD
• Sr. Principal Systems Engineer: 8 Years with Bachelors STEM in Science; 6 Years with Masters; 4 Years with PhD
• Must have an active U.S. Government Secret security clearance at time of application, current and within scope, with the ability to obtain and maintain SCI approval/access.

Skills

• Familiarity with MBSE Modeling (Cameo Enterprise Architecture)
• Familiarity in Agile methodology (Kanban, Scrum, etc.)
• Experience with Atlassian tool suite (Jira, Confluence)
• Experience with Electronics systems performance analysis, test or integration
• An understanding of the physical limitations to implementing complex algorithms in real hardware
