Job Description

Responsibilities

• Develop and improve SEG radar model simulations. Development includes but is not limited to addition of functionality supporting detect and track, addition of CFAR capability, generating radar post-processing scripts, and improving overall ease of use.
• Add signal processing functionality including coherent and non-coherent integration, pulse compression, matched filtering, and other techniques.
• Combine the capabilities of multiple radar models into a single robust model.
• Characterize sensor performance against threat ballistic and cruise missiles through modeling, simulation and analysis using digital simulations.
• Develop and use analysis tools and other technical methods as required to analyze the performance of threat ballistic and cruise missiles.
• Develop, integrate, and use analytical models and tools to test new threat data and software products, assess system capability, and drive system requirements and design.
• Define technical approach and plan studies based on understanding of engineering community and appreciation of customer need.
• Communicate with external customers and internal technical staff.
• Support technical leadership for internal project and contribute to external customer forums.
• Author technical details of statements of work.
• Travel is occasionally required to participate in technical forums and reviews.
