Responsibilities

• You will play a key role in the development and performance of radar algorithms and mission capabilities, including:
• Support the development and integration of radar algorithms to meet system mission and mode performance objectives.
• Translate system-level requirements into algorithm design and implementation plans.
• Perform functional and performance analyses of radar systems and mission modes.
• Develop mathematical algorithms for radar mode/sensor implementation.
• Plan and support software integration of system algorithms to model real-time behavior on the radar platform.
• Conduct kinematic trajectory threat analysis, mission scenario modeling and simulation, and technology trade studies.
• Support requirements development and derivation for radar system operational performance and conduct performance and data analysis.
• Perform mission engineering activities across the Systems Engineering “V” to ensure delivered performance aligns with desired operational capabilities.
• Ensure performance capabilities of new systems and architectures are properly traded against cost and mission requirements, and assess operational effectiveness of existing and emerging systems in representative environments.
• Work within cross-disciplinary Integrated Product Teams (IPTs), soliciting input from stakeholders, synthesizing data, and communicating results to various levels of leadership.
• Provide technical guidance and leadership to the team through development and implementation activities.
• You’ll have the opportunity to influence overall system architecture and performance while collaborating closely with radar, systems, software, and mission engineering experts.
