About the Role

The Aerospace Corporation is seeking a highly skilled Senior MW/MT/MD Sensor Modeling and Simulation Engineer to join our team. As a key member of our Systems Performance, Estimation, and Algorithms Department (SPEAD), you will provide analytical support, software development, systems engineering, and architecting, and modeling and simulation support for government customers in the missile warning/missile tracking/missile defense (MW/MT/MD) mission area.

Key Responsibilities
  • Provide technical expertise, mentoring, and project leadership in the modeling and performance analysis of MW/MT/MD sensors and systems and their broader system-of-systems architectures.
  • Conduct a range of analysis using a framework of modeling, simulation, and analysis capabilities, including in-house, custom, and commercially available/government-provided modeling tools.
  • Analyze electro-optical (EO), infrared (IR), radar, and passive radio frequency sensor concepts, architectures, and algorithms.
  • Model Overhead Persistent Infrared (OPIR) signal processing algorithms both on-board and ground-based and analyze performance.
  • Assess ballistic and non-ballistic missiles, advanced threats (dim or highly maneuverable targets), model detection, tracking, and track custody behaviors.
  • Sensor constellation performance analysis; evaluate and verify contractor performance analysis.
  • Probability of Warning analysis for various sensor concepts.
Requirements
  • Degree in mathematics, electrical or aerospace engineering, physics, computer science, or equivalent, or a Bachelor's degree with twelve (12) years of applicable experience required.
  • 10 years of experience in systems engineering analysis of EO/IR space or airborne surveillance systems, including system-of-systems architectures, system and sensor level evaluation and simulation, mission performance assessment with emphasis on single and multi-target tracking, detection, and estimation, sensor tasking and scheduling, system error analysis, and system integration.
  • Developed computer tools, simulations, and/or algorithms to support analyses of interdisciplinary support teams and performing general and specific systems engineering trades assessments.
  • Background in statistics, estimation, controls, signal processing, or a related field with experience developing and implementing EO/IR missile detection, missile warning, missile tracking, and probability of warning algorithms.
  • Fluent in at least one of the following programming languages: MATLAB, C++, Python, C, Java.
  • Demonstrated technical proficiency in analysis and technical leadership within the MW/MT/MD mission.
  • Good interpersonal communication and briefing skills, along with the ability to work independently and interact effectively with high-level government, Aerospace, and contractor personnel.
  • This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, which is issued by the U.S. government. U.S. citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Advanced technical degree in mathematics, electrical or aerospace engineering, physics, computer science, or equivalent.
  • Experience in the development, analysis, and evaluation of mission processing algorithms, to include target detection, clutter suppression, closely spaced object resolution, tactical parameter estimation (TPE), and/or multi-target tracking.
  • Experience with EO/IR system design trade studies, technology insertion, requirements definition to support architecture evolution of tracking systems.
  • Experience in researching, developing, and applying advanced and innovative techniques for algorithm development.
  • Provided EO/IR algorithm and/or system functionality assessments.
  • A current and active TS/SCI clearance.
