Position Overview

The Systems Engineering and Test Capabilities (SE&TC) Surface Radars and Sensors Center is seeking a talented Systems Engineer II to join our Radar Performance and Analysis team supporting the AN/TPY-2 missile defense radar program. This position will be onsite in Woburn, MA. The AN/TPY-2 radar is a state-of-the-art missile defense system operating in the X-band, with a flawless performance record against ballistic missiles. In this role, you will evaluate radar data, conduct end-to-end performance assessments, and manage system requirements. You will be responsible for tracking and reporting Key Performance Metrics (KPMs) and Technical Performance Measures (TPMs), ensuring the radar meets stringent tactical mission objectives. Through your engineering expertise, you will develop automated data-processing workflows and analytical models to transform complex sensor outputs into actionable engineering insights.

What You Will Do

• Parse, process, and analyze raw sensor data, tracks, and detections to evaluate algorithm performance, target discrimination, and tracking accuracy.
• Conduct scenario‑based analysis to identify and resolve technical observations.
• Perform system performance assessments and validation testing to ensure compliance with requirements and specifications.
• Lead system‑level requirements analysis, decomposition, and traceability, managing the full verification and validation lifecycle.
• Establish, monitor, and report on KPMs and TPMs, proactively identifying performance trends, variances, and system risks.
• Develop and maintain robust MATLAB and Python scripts to automate large‑scale data ingestion, statistical modeling, and performance report generation.
• Translate complex data findings into clear technical presentations, dashboards, and documentation for program leadership and military stakeholders.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 2 years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience in test methodology, data analysis, scripting and/or software development.
• Experience with Matlab, Python, Perl, C/C++, Unix and/or Linux.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Proven experience in radar systems engineering, signal processing analysis, or performance assessment within a defense framework.
• Advanced proficiency in MATLAB (including toolboxes) and Python for automated scripting, data visualization, and mathematical modeling.
• Familiarity with systems engineering tools (e.g., IBM DOORS) for managing requirements tracking and verification matrices.
• Strong troubleshooting skills for resolving complex anomalies in large‑scale tactical data feeds.
• In‑depth understanding of radar systems technology, particularly radar design, analysis, and systems engineering development.
• Experience in creating test plans and test scripts.
• Experience in mission planning activities.
• Prior experience with the AN/TPY-2 System and/or missile defense programs.
• Excellent communication, technical writing, oral presentation, and interpersonal skills.
• Proven ability to interface with customers and lead technical solutions to complex challenges.
• Knowledge of and ability to work within the Agile Scrum development practice.
• Ability to work in a fast paced, dynamic environment with time‑critical requirements.
• Proficiency in the Microsoft Office Suite, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
• PhD or Master’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Business, or a related discipline.
• Existing DoD Security Clearance.
