- Technical expertise in the design and application of novel acoustic signaling methods for underwater tracking/positioning and acoustic communications applications over a wide range of water depths and acoustic conditions in the ocean environment.
- Application of experience in the generation of complex acoustic signals, propagation of those signals over a wide range of water depths and coverage areas, reception of signals in a complex noise environment, and processing received signals for the purpose of reliable detection, precise event timing and decoding of embedded data/communications. Frequency ranges from 1 kHz to over 100 kHz will be utilized, dependent on system requirements and environmental factors.
- Develop computer based mathematical models to analyze acoustic performance, including signal designs, transmitting transducer characteristics, acoustic propagation, ambient and man made noise environments, receiving transducer characteristics and acoustic receiver designs. These models will be used to evaluate and optimize system designs prior to hardware and software design phases; and they will need to support common methods of performance comparison, including detection probability vs. False Alarm Rate, and Bit Error Rate performance (for communications systems), as appropriate.
- Support architecture development, system modelling, algorithm development, data analysis, and trade studies in conjunction with team members representing other specialties.
- Prepare written reports and briefings on work plans, tasks accomplished and methodologies involved.
- Support to systems integration and customer trials activities.
- Bachelor's Degree in Engineering or Science
- Minimum 10 years working in underwater acoustics with direct system design and development experience
- Experience in developing complex computer based mathematical models for underwater acoustic systems
- US Citizenship is required
- Secret or Ability to obtain Secret clearance within one year of employment
- Experience with SONAR systems
- Experience with underwater acoustic positioning systems for tracking and navigation
- Experience and understanding of principles of operation for SONAR systems, datalinks, navigation, and control systems
- Ability to analyze and respond appropriately to relevant technical issues in a timely manner
- Experience with simulation and computational programs (e.g., MatLab, MathCad)
- Must be reliable, flexible, and detail oriented
- Strong communications skills and experience presenting to team members and senior leadership
