  • Familiarity with geospatial data processing and coordinate geometry (e.g., Vincenty Direct formulas, DTED/TDF integration).
DESIRED SKILLSET:
  • Experience developing software within the DoD Modeling and Simulation (M&S) enterprise.
  • Direct experience with phased-array radar systems.
  • Familiarity with threat models.
  • Knowledge of radar detection theory, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) tracking logic, and Scattering Center Radar Cross Section (RCS) models.
  • Previous experience supporting rapid prototyping and Warfighter Improvement Process (WIP) requirements.
REQUIRED CLEARANCE:
  • Must have an Active Secret clearance.
  • Must be a current US Citizen.
