Radar Test and Evaluation: Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory

Support Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense radar test and evaluation using modeling and simulation tools and recorded flight test data to assess radar system performance. Provide inputs on Aegis BMD radar system capabilities in construction of scenarios to meet system test objectives. Use existing high fidelity radar simulations to predict surveillance, tracking, and discrimination performance for flight test scenarios. Recommend ship stationing and radar and weapons system doctrine to achieve mission objectives. Conduct post-test analysis of recorded radar data to assess fulfillment of mission objectives. Validate pre-test simulation predictions with observed radar performance. Update models and simulations to accurately reflect actual radar system behavior as required. Communicate radar analysis results, conclusions, and recommendations at pre- and post-test mission reviews. Interface with counterparts in the technical community, US Navy, and Missile Defense Agency program offices as needed.

Qualifications:

Required: Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent technical field with at least three years experience in radar or weapons system engineering. Good interpersonal and communications skills (oral and written).
Desired: Masters degree in Engineering with five or more years experience in US Navy, Army, or Joint missile defense radar or weapons systems. Experience related to the development and/or analysis of Radar Cross Section models and the application and use of the models within high fidelity radar simulations. Proven ability to interact effectively with Department of Defense sponsors.
