Modeling and Simulation Engineer
Job Description
- Provide executive-level insight to NAVWAR engineering support.
- Conduct research and development of multi-function small form factor payloads for completing NAVWAR-based missions.
- Develop and analyze models of novel algorithmic concepts to produce distributed electronic sensing effects for NAVWAR payloads.
- Utilize EW signal processing algorithms that enable threat detection and identification for employing countermeasures.
- Design systems to support GPS system hardening to prevent NAVWAR effects on blue force systems.
- Develop RF hardware and software solutions for integrating EW, Comms, and Radar missions into a small form factor payload.
- Investigate heterogeneous sensing concepts across different platforms (., manned and unmanned, high altitude ISR, ALE, and sensing approaches with passive modes.
- Design and implement testing of RF and other hardware portions of software-defined radio frameworks.
- Reverse engineer existing NAVWAR signal processing solutions.
- Synthesize and allocate system requirements, ensuring the system architecture is fully defined, understood, and compliant with mission needs.
- Support development and implementation of client requirements for RF solutions, including services, products, technologies, and capabilities for airborne mission environments.
- Perform Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) testing on systems impacted by denial / deception of PNT / GPS.
- Support technical reviews of vendor hardware and software products and deliverables, interface development, and development of software algorithms and models for simulation.
- Research state-of-the-art signal processing algorithms.
- Collaborate with customers (both internal and external) to integrate solutions into various applications and use cases.
- Design, test, and validate capabilities using both unit tests and scenarios reported by customers.
