Electronic Warfare Senior Principal Performance Analyst *Minimum $50K Sign On Bonus*

The Systems Engineering (SE) Directorate is seeking talented and collaborative technical candidates to function as an EW Systems Performance Analyst.  The selected candidate will be given opportunities to engage in a variety of cutting edge and innovative technology development that include conducting threat analysis of current and future radar systems, conducting effectiveness analysis of EW subsystems, and the generation/utilization of modeling tools to aiding in the design and maturation of EW components and systems.

Responsibilities:

• Define algorithms to support the optimization of system performance and operations by applying fundamental radar principles and modeling electronic countermeasure (ECM) techniques
• Actively collaborate with team members across a multi-disciplined organization to refine and mature system design and promote distribution of knowledge
• Partnering with engineers across multiple disciplines to define unified approaches to quantify impacts of payloads (radar, electronic support measures, electronic attack), weapons and tactics on system survivability and mission effectiveness
• Develop systems architecture that can support engagement of emerging complex threats and operations
• Deriving system requirements and design solutions
• Generate/Conduct simulations of threat systems, EW subsystems and components supporting technology maturation
• Actively participate in definition of team objectives and provide solutions to complex technical tasks including system design decisions involving trade studies, requirements allocation, and verification methods
• Provide support for programs through participation in project design reviews and peer reviews, including technical briefings to internal leadership and external customers
• Demonstrate ability to continuously adapt to changing business needs

Required Skills:

• Typically requires a minimum of 10 years of Electronic Warfare experience and Understanding of Radar Fundamentals
• Strong background in modeling and assessing threat air and ground, RF, Electronic Attack capabilities, and advanced weapon system concept performance and employment
• Proficient in creating algorithms and executing analytical tools and applications using structure and object-oriented design approaches
• Experience with utilizing mathematical models and physics-based Monte Carlo simulations to assess survivability and mission effectiveness of advanced weapon system concepts.
• Extensive experience with physics-based, mathematical models and performance to quantify impacts on system design
• Technical breadth and operational background in military air operations and combat systems
• Must be a U.S. Citizen with Active (or active within past 24 months) DoD Secret Clearance

Desired Skills:

• A “big thinker” who does not operate in a silo, but can think about where a program or product line is heading or needs to go, while considering the technical aspects of how to get there
• Experience with Missile Defense related Modeling, Simulation and Analysis (3DOF, 6DOF)
• Knowledge and understanding of air, space, cyber, Information Operations, and Integrated Air Missile Defense Systems to fuse platforms’ capabilities into a cohesive system-of-systems architecture.
• Familiarity with surveillance and target tracking radar systems and functionality, electronic counter measure and ECCM techniques, surface-to-air missiles, integrated air defense systems.
• Familiarity with signal/detection and target tracking analysis, multiple target tracking and data fusion and resource management
• Specialized knowledge of US military constructive simulations including AFSIM, Suppressor/JIMM, EADSIM, ESAMS, BRAWLER, JAMM, and/or RADGUNS

Required Education:

Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM)
