Staff Systems Engineer, Strategic Defense

Required

• Currently possesses and can maintain an active U.S. Top Secret/SCI security clearance
• B.S. in aerospace, mechanical, applied physics, computer science or similar engineering or technical field, or over 10 years of integrated air and missile defense experience.
• 12+ years Systems Engineering Experience across the life cycle. The more, the better.
• Demonstrated domain experience across the IAMD kill chain — sensors, battle management and C2, fire control, and effectors — with Army air and missile defense systems such as IBCS, Patriot/PAC-3 MSE, LTAMDS, Sentinel A4, THAAD, IFPC, M-SHORAD, C-RAM, or AN/TPY-2, and their integration with joint C2 such as C2BMC and Aegis.
• Demonstrated System of Systems tracking and discrimination experience — multi-sensor integration, track initiation and correlation, track and data fusion across dissimilar sensors, and target classification, identification, and discrimination.
• Understanding of how sensor performance drives fire-control-quality track formation and engagement decisions — track accuracy and covariance, correlation and decorrelation, combat ID, IFF, and NCTI.
• Working knowledge of how external cueing sources, including space-based missile warning and tracking, feed terrestrial sensor and fire-control chains.
• Understanding of Fire-Control systems and required safety, and hazard mitigation practices.
• Experience developing various model based system engineering artifacts - Operational Viewpoints, System Viewpoints, activity diagrams, use case diagrams, BDDs, IBDs, parametric diagrams, etc...
