This position supports national security missions by advancing Radar/RF collection, mission processing, architecture integration, resiliency, and end-to-end mission performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead complex systems engineering efforts for Radar/RF systems across space, ground, and mission operations environments.
• Provide senior technical direction on Radar/RF phenomenology, collectionmethodology, mission processing, and operational performance.
• Performenterprise-levelrequirementsdevelopment, definition, decomposition, traceability, validation, and technical closure activities.
• EvaluateRadar/RF system capabilities across tasking, command and control, collection, mission processing, and dissemination.
• Conductarchitecture analysis, trade studies, and solution alternative assessments for GEOINT, space, and ground systems.
• Analyzemission processing approaches designed to mitigate radio frequency interference and improve radar processing outcomes.
• PerformRF engineering assessments related to system resiliency, jamming resistance, operational effectiveness, and mission assurance.
• Support user needs analysis, capability gap assessments, and solution alternative evaluations to inform Government investment and technical decisions.
• Coordinatesystems integration strategy, readiness planning, and end-to-end mission and services closure across complex mission systems.
• Identifyand resolve technical risks, opportunities, dependencies, and enterprise-level impacts across programs and stakeholders.
• Advise senior Government, SETA, FFRDC, IC, DoD, and industry stakeholders on technical strategy, mission impacts, and engineering priorities.
• Mentor multidisciplinary engineering teams and ensure the quality, consistency, and technical credibility of engineering products.

Qualifications

Required:

• Active TS/SCI clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a Polygraph.
• BS/BA in a technical or STEM field such as engineering, physics, or a related discipline.
• MS/MA may be counted as 3 years of experience; PhD may be counted as 5 years of experience.
• 0+ years of relevant systems engineering, Radar/RF, GEOINT, space, ground, or mission operations experience. Candidates will be considered for the Junior (0–6 years), Mid-Level (7–11 years), Senior (12–17 years), or Expert (18+ years) level based on experience and qualifications.
• Background supporting Radar/RF systems, preferably in satellite mission environments; airborne experience is also relevant.
