Responsibilities
Accelerate delivery of capabilities through performance engineering, software integration, and test activities leveraging credible modeling, simulation, experimentation, and analysis.
Apply MS&A techniques across all phases of radar systems engineering to assess, validate, and optimize system and subsystem performance, working with IQ data from simulated and real-world collections.
Perform performance-focused modeling and simulation on high-performance computing grids, conduct trade studies, and generate systems engineering documents, reports, and operational documentation.
Utilize MSE&A frameworks to support software integration, algorithm development, and radar mode validation, ensuring consistency between modeled environments and real-world data.
Assess system capabilities by linking requirements to performance metrics and mission threads, defining and verifying interfaces, and supporting integration and test activities.
Support systems engineering radar algorithm validation by tracing IQ data through the radar processing chain, comparing modeled and collected data, and identifying performance shortfalls and corrective actions.
Plan, generate, and execute verification and validation artifacts supporting system design verification testing and system acceptance testing, including test plans, procedures, and data review packages.
Develop and improve performance models, simulation frameworks, and analysis tools, including physics-based radar models, threat and environment models, and command-and-control interactions.
Perform large-scale data analytics, probabilities, and statistics, including design of experiments techniques.
Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams to diagnose performance issues, recommend design changes or tuning, and ensure integrated solutions meet requirements.
Generate and present technical material for internal and external customer briefings, technical reviews, and design/test readiness events.
Innovate to solve problems and identify improvements across MSE&A products, performance analysis workflows, and integration/test approaches.
Develop, integrate, and use advanced graphical user interfaces and visualization tools to explore, validate, and communicate performance results.
