JOB OVERVIEWMartinFed has an opening for an RF Engineer to join our Defensive Threat Systems Modeling and Simulation (M&S) team supporting the warfighter and prominent acquisition and intelligence programs within the Missile and Space Intelligence Center (MSIC). The candidate will be part of a team performing modeling and simulation of defensive weapon systems of peer/near-peer adversaries. The principal focus will be on surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems comprising 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 RF techniques.
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:- Designing, developing, testing, and maintaining software models simulating and/or emulating real-world adversarial Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) systems within standardized Threat Modeling Assessment Program (TMAP) frameworks using MATLAB/Simulink, C, C++, and/or Python
- Understanding, refinement, communication, and tracking of software model requirements.
- Deep understanding of real-world threat weapon system characteristics, capabilities, and limitations and the digital twin that represents that system.
- Developing software using MATLAB/SIMULINK, C/C++, and/or Python.
- Leading technical discussions to assist in near- and long-term planning.
- Working closely with the customer to understand and deliver quality products that accomplish the mission.
- Understanding and/or developing engineering designs supplied by the customer and working with a team to develop software models that represent the weapon system at the fidelity necessary to meet customer goals.
QUALIFICATIONS:- US Citizen
- DoD Secret clearance required and willing/able to obtain and maintain a DoD TS/SCI Security Clearance.
- Strong programming skills in C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink.
- 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 weapons systems including Radar, Directed Energy Weapons, Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, RF Jammers, Missile Seekers, and/or Anti-Satellite weapons.
- Ability to contribute to the overall strategic planning of the modeling team.
- Bachelors in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
DESIRED QUALIFICATIONS:- Experience with threat weapon system model modeling 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 in a DevOps or DevSecOps environment.
- Experience working in an AGILE software development team.
- Mentoring experience.
- Experience designing, developing, or operating code for a distributed processing environment.
- Experience with working with environmental datasets and RF propagation.
- TS/SCI Clearance.
PHYSICAL REQUIREMENTS & ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS - Inside office environment.
- Working on a computer for long periods of time.
- May involve long period of sitting at a desk.
- The work environment is fast-paced and sometimes involves extreme deadline pressures.
