Description

Description: Provide technical leadership to develop next generation combat system capabilities and improvements to existing systems to effectively defeat advanced surface, airborne and ballistic threats.

Duties:

- Provide technical leadership to develop and evaluate advanced concepts, algorithms and requirements to effectively integrate sensor systems, combat systems and weapon systems and to add new and expanded capabilities to individual systems.

Participate in the design, analysis, and testing of these capabilities. Develop critical technical design guidance to support the transition of key algorithms to industry. Conduct analyses to support progressive phases of system development and testing. Act as a trusted advisor to government sponsors to review contractor designs and propose alternative approaches.

- Participate in and provide key technical leadership to APL and multi-organization systems engineering forums chartered to conduct analyses and develop requirements; provide recommendations of alternative design concepts.

- Interface with sponsors, contractors and other government personnel and effectively communicate and defend proposed concepts or solutions, analytical results or interpretations of actual test results in technical and programmatic forums; produce documentation to effectively capture concept definitions, analytical results, recommendations, and requirements.


Requirements

Required: BS in engineering, physics, systems engineering, mathematics, or comparable; 5-10 years of relevant, active involvement in the development of new functional capabilities to an operational DoD sensor, weapon or combat system; experience in the performance analysis of an operational DoD system; experience with Matlab or a modern programming language to develop complex models and algorithms; strong interpersonal and communication skills (e.g., verbal, written, presentation); ability to work in a multi-organizational team environment; ability and willingness to travel.

Desired: MS in engineering, physics, systems engineering, mathematics, or comparable; extensive knowledge and experience with one of the following: sensor fusion through the application of linear and nonlinear tracking algorithms, combat/force situational awareness, or weapon scheduling involving a layered defense through multiple weapon options; experience in the development of large complex models or simulations; experience in the analysis of large volumes of field test data to characterize system performance; demonstrated ability to lead technical teams.
