Description

Are you passionate about analyzing the next generation of electronic warfare capabilities?

Are you an analyst who demonstrates a genuine interest in understanding how to represent RF sensors and jammers in mission-level and engagement-level simulations?

Do you enjoy working in a small team environment, collaborating with subject matter authorities to build the right solutions?

If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL!

The Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems group is a multi-disciplinary team that delivers innovative electronic warfare capabilities to address some of the Nation's most pressing challenges. We specialize in electronic warfare systems test and evaluation, communications electronic attack (EA), threat representation and analysis, and RF hardware development and analysis. We are a dedicated team of engineers and scientists who work with Government and Industry and who are passionate about providing advanced RF capabilities to protect U.S. citizens, service members, and allies.

As an Electronic Warfare RF Simulation Analyst, you will...
  • Work independently and as a member of a highly collaborative team to represent threat sensors for evolving and established threats in multiple simulation programs.
  • Serve as subject matter authority and share technical insight to support DoD programs performing survivability studies using these threat systems.
  • Establish relationships and effectively interact with teams, management, external sponsors, and across organizational boundaries.

Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...
  • Have a Bachelor's degree in a technical field such as engineering, mathematics, computer science, physics, or a closely related area or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Have at least one year of relevant experience with commercial or military RF sensors, electronic warfare systems, or related activities.
  • Have excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to convey sophisticated technical topics clearly to multi-disciplinary audiences.
  • Are able to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Top Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...
  • Have a Master's degree or PhD in engineering, mathematics, physics, or another related technical field, or possess equivalent experience.
  • Have used analysis tools like the Advanced Framework for Simulation, Integration and Modeling (AFSIM) for conducting mission-level survivability and effectiveness analysis with electronic warfare elements.
  • Have an active Top-Secret security clearance.
