Radar Modeling Simulation Analysis Systems Engineer

Relocation assistance available. U.S. Government Secret clearance required for start; ability to obtain Special Program Access (SAP) also required. Occasional travel may be required.

About the role

Northrop Grumman Mission System’s Engineering and Sciences (E&S) Baltimore and Partnered Sites (BaPs) Division is seeking a Radar Modeling Simulation & Analysis Systems Engineer to join our team in Baltimore, MD. This is a full-time, on-site role focused on accelerating the delivery of capabilities through advanced models and simulations of platforms, sensors, weapons, and their interactions with the environment.

Responsibilities

• Utilize Modeling, Simulation, Experimentation, and Analysis (MSE&A) of advanced systems using C++ object-oriented design, advanced data structures, and test-driven development.
• Develop large-scale data analytics, probabilities, and statistics, including the application of design of experiment techniques for evaluating system and mission performance.
• Integrate MS&A with operational flight software, collect and analyze data from laboratory or flight tests, verify and validate simulation performance against flight test data, and formally verify that models meet specified requirements.
• Produce publication-quality reports defining the foundation for simulation credibility across all stakeholders and provide artifacts to support formal simulation Verification, Validation, and Accreditation (VVA).
• Innovate to solve problems and identify improvements across MSE&A products.
• Perform operational analysis and mission effectiveness analysis.
• Develop and/or integrate system simulation frameworks, performance models, algorithms, threat models, and command and control models.
• Model operational environments, perform trade studies via computer simulation, and recommend alternative architectures.
• Simulate real-time operations and develop software that simulates behavior of systems.
• Develop, integrate, and use advanced graphical user interfaces and visualization tools.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree with 2 years of experience, Master’s degree with 0 years of experience in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or related technical fields; an additional 4 years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
• U.S. Citizenship is required.
• Final U.S. Government Secret clearance.
• Ability to obtain/maintain Special Access Program (SAP) access.
• Experience with programming languages such as C/C++, Python, Bash, or C shell scripting on Linux and Windows computing environments.
• Domain experience in simulations of RF, EOIR, Communications, or related systems.
• Experience working with digital signal processing and complex valued signal data.
• Experience with analytical modeling approaches using MATLAB environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active U.S. Government Top Secret Clearance or higher.
• Advanced degrees in Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field.
• Experience with Modeling, Experimentation, Simulation, and Analysis (MSE&A).
• Experience with real-time and/or reactive simulation software applications development.
• Experience with one or more of the following: statistics, design of experiments, descriptive/diagnostic/predictive/prescriptive analytics, high-performance computing.
• Experience developing and validating radar modes.
• Experience with adaptive signal processing.
• Experience with optimal estimation theory.
• Understanding of Systems Engineering and Integration & Test processes.
• Experience with DPC, CUDA, OpenCL, Verilog, VHDL, or other domain-specific languages.
• Experience with Agile and/or SAFe methodologies.
