Staff Radar Modeling Simulation Analysis Systems Engineer

About the role

This position will be in Baltimore, MD, and is a full time on site role. It is contingent upon contract award, successful transfer of an active U.S Government Secret Clearance and the ability to obtain Special Program Access (SAP).

Responsibilities

• Accelerate the delivery of capabilities to our customers through the development and use of advanced models and simulations of platforms, sensors, weapons, and their interactions with the environment.
• 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 the evaluation of system and mission performance.
• Integrate MS&A with operational flight software, collecting and analyzing data from laboratory or flight tests, the verification and validation of simulation performance against flight test data, and formally verifying that the models meet specified requirements.
• Produce publication quality reports which define the foundation for simulation credibility across all stakeholders and provide the 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.
• Develops new and/or integrates existing system simulation frameworks, performance models and algorithms, threat models and command and control models.
• Models operational environments, performs trade studies via computer simulation and recommends alternative architectures.
• Simulates real-time operations and develops software that simulates behavior of systems.
• Develops, integrates, and uses advanced graphical user interfaces and visualization tools.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree with 12 years of experience, Master’s degree with 10 years of experience, Ph.D. with 8 years of experience in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science or related technical fields; an additional 4 years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
