Job Description:Parsons is seeking an exceptionally talented
Expert Radar/RF Engineer to join our team! In this role, you will perform modeling and simulation of defensive weapon systems used by peer and near-peer adversaries, with a focus on surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems, RF sensors, target acquisition and tracking, 6-DOF missile flyout, command and seeker endgame, network-centric warfare techniques, command-and-control (C2/C4), and advanced Radar/RF techniques.
What You'll Be Doing:- Participate in the design, development, testing, and maintenance of software models that simulate or emulate real-world adversarial Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) systems within TMAP STIMS 2.0, STIMS 3.0, and/or LIVE modeling frameworks.
- Understand and develop engineering designs provided by the customer, collaborating with a team to create software models that represent weapon systems at the required fidelity to meet customer goals.
- Address intelligence gaps using expertise in weapon systems, waveforms, signal processing, probability of detection/intercept, electronic warfare, antennas, and electromagnetics; analyze and implement EO/IR techniques.
- Develop algorithms and techniques for active and passive detection, signal processing chains, clutter mitigation, electronic attack, waveform selection and scheduling, and adaptive beamforming.
- Conduct engineering analysis of real-world threat weapon systems, supplementing all-source intelligence assessments to inform the software model lifecycle, including development, maintenance, and study support.
- Track and understand software model requirements to ensure alignment with customer objectives.
- Analyze characteristics, capabilities, and limitations of real-world threat weapon systems and develop digital twin representations.
- Develop software using MATLAB/SIMULINK, C/C++, and/or Python to create high-fidelity models and simulations.
- Participate in technical discussions to support both near- and long-term planning for model development and integration.
- Collaborate within a team environment and mentor junior and mid-level software developers.
Required Clearance:- Must be a U.S. Citizen and possess an active Top Secret clearance.
- Must be willing and able to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI clearance with a counterintelligence polygraph.
What Required Skills You'll Bring:- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field with 20+ years of relevant experience.
- Deep understanding of real-world threat weapon system characteristics, capabilities, and limitations, and the digital twin representations of those systems.
- Strong programming skills in C++, Python, and/or MATLAB/SIMULINK.
- Subject matter expertise in RF propagation, signal processing, track filtering, antenna design, communications, radar systems, missile/seeker, passive radar, electronic support, and/or electronic attack.
- Experience with modeling and simulation of weapon systems, including Radar, Directed Energy Weapons, Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, RF Jammers, Missile Seekers, and/or Anti-Satellite weapons.
What Desired Skills You'll Bring:- Experience with EO/IR systems.
- Experience modeling threat weapon systems in TMAP, ODESSA, ESAMS, AFSIM, LIVE, and/or ITASE.
- Experience with STIMS 2.0 (Simulink), STIMS 3.0 (C++), and/or LIVE modeling frameworks/standards.
- Software development experience in a DevOps or DevSecOps environment.
- Experience working in an AGILE software development team.
- Experience mentoring junior team members.
- Experience designing, developing, or operating code for distributed processing environments.
- Experience working with environmental datasets and RF propagation.
Security Clearance Requirement:An active Top Secret security clearance is required to apply, however, the selected candidate must be able to obtain a Top Secret SCI w/Polygraph clearance prior to the start date.
