Responsibilities:

Your essential job functions will include but may not be limited to:

• Provide Modeling and Simulation (M&S) and data analysis for Electro Optical (EO) and Infrared (IR) cutting-edge technologies
• Use data analysis and/or software tools to generate scientific results to support R&D programmatic decisions
• Provide direct support for computational and network aspects of programs
• Combine multiple disparate EO/IR modeling tools into a singular digital engineering tool used for multi-disciplinary analysis and optimization
• Document system database architecture instantiation, model interoperability, and cross-application date communication
• Create and maintain a common data repository
• Provide recommendations on model interoperability standards, interface definitions, and assist with engagements across industry partners to establish uniform modeling protocols
• Provide analytical/modeling subject matter expertise advisement to senior engineers, program managers, and senior leaders to help drive sound technological decisions
• Evaluate proposed projects for feasibility and applicability to relevant miliary mission areas
• Participate in strategic planning and development of systems architectures as well as recommend requirements for new projects
• Identify and recommend alternative or new Research and Development (R&D) strategies
• Generate documents, briefings, roadmaps, and planning materials to support the customer mission
• Work closely with program managers, lead project engineers, and program teams

Qualifications Required:

• Active DoD Secret Clearance with ability to obtain a TS/SCI clearance
• Experience with EO sensors, IR Search and Track (IRST) systems, Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR), laser optics, image processing, signal processing, and statistics
• Strong EO/IR data analysis and performance modeling computing skills
• MATLAB, Python, C++ and database management expertise is required
• Proficient knowledge of software development and/or software maintenance
• Experience processing image/signal data and a working knowledge on data-basing, data storage, and data archiving
• Sufficient EO/IR experience to produce trusted results and communicate recommendations to the customer
• Ability to develop and present analysis results briefings to senior leadership
• Experience in generating requirements analysis and definitions at the mission and systems engineering levels
• Must work well within a team environment to identify and apply best practices
• Strong skills in documenting inputs, outputs, and requirements
• Experience working with U.S. Air Force customers
• Experience developing high-level project/work plans
• 5-10 years' experience with M&S and data analysis, MATLAB, Python, C++ and database management
• Familiarity with EO modeling tools such as MODTRAN, LEEDR, and DIRSIG
• Clear and effective oral and written communications skills

Education:

• Education: Bachelor's degree in, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or related technical field. A Master's degree in a similar field is highly desired.

Even better if you have these desired skills:

• 5-10 years' experience with distributed computing
• 5-10 years’ technology development and modeling experience with EO, lasers, and/or IR systems

Clearance Requirements:

• Active DoD Secret Clearance with ability to obtain a TS/SCI clearance
