About Us:

At Raytheon Missiles & Defense (RMD), fresh thinking and possibilities are forged in times of change, and you will be on the front lines as we trail blaze new approaches, push the boundaries of innovation, and chart a course to a tomorrow you can be proud to have a hand in creating

Job Summary:

As a Principal Systems Engineer - Radar Simulation and V&V in the Algorithm & Simulations (A&S) Directorate, you will help with algorithm development including radio-frequency (RF) Signal Processing; and missile-and-sensor-level Modeling and Simulation for RMD's broad portfolio of projects, programs and products.

As part of the Modeling & Sim team within the A&S Directorate you will have a hand in developing and maintaining high fidelity performance simulations (including multiple sensor channels, scene generation capability, control hardware, physical environment, and embedded software), execute system performance analysis (including pre-flight prediction, post flight matching, and verification and validation), perform simulation product verification and validation and support new business initiatives and develop & execute technology roadmaps. Our portfolio includes surface Navy, undersea Navy, missile defense sensors, interceptors, command and control, integrated air and missile defense systems and space surveillance systems.

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• You will develop and execute test plans to verify and validate that our embedded simulation products accurately represent the radar hardware performance.
• You will work collaboratively to validate the embedded simulation by analyzing the results of live and simulated radar runs
• You will investigate and document issues identified during analysis
• You will develop and extend existing analysis tools in MATLAB to analyze and compare data from live and simulated radar runs
• You will develop and present briefings and reports on performance assessments comparing the simulations to the live data, new and modified radar algorithms, scene modeling approaches, and issue investigations
• You will  support integration of the high fidelity radar simulations into federations managed by other US Government organizations. You will support updating and developing new requirements for implementing and verifying refined and new radar algorithms in tactical radar software
• You will work collaboratively to extend the digital simulation in Java or C++ and resolve issues identified during analysis
• You will develop and analyze radar algorithms in the context of a high fidelity digital simulation supplemented by field measurements

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering, Science, Mathematics, or Physics
• With a Bachelor’s Degree listed above, you must have eight (8) years of documented work experience in the following areas (An advanced degree will satisfy 3 years of work experience):
  • Radar modeling and/or analysis experience
  • Experience using Python or MATLAB for multidimensional data analysis
  • Experience with a compiled programming language
• The ability to obtain and maintain a US security clearance prior to the start date.
• U.S. citizenship is required as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

Qualifications We Value:
