Description

Are you interested in contributing to the design and assessment of weapons vital to our national defense?

If so, we 're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL

The Weapon Systems Engineering Group is seeking a technical professional to help us define and assess current and future defensive weapon designs against a wide variety of modern and projected threats. We are a multi-disciplinary team of engineers and scientists who study the performance of RF and EO/IR-guided missiles, seekers, signal/image processing algorithms, guidance and control, fuzing/lethality, and the relevant operating environments. We make an enormous impact across many mission areas including air defense, ballistic missile defense, and hypersonic missile defense

As a Senior Weapon Simulation Engineer, your primary responsibility will be to evaluate weapon system effectiveness by both developing and applying an assortment of medium and high-fidelity physics-based simulations and comprehensive pre- and post-processing analysis tools.

You will analyze, evaluate and represent guided missile functionalities and their associated environments, including EO/IR and RF seeker operations with special emphasis on Electronic Protection, RF environments, IR scene rendering, communications links, handover process, etc.
You will identify limiting factors to system performance using a variety of guided weapon simulations as well as propose and analyze software improvements and hardware enhancements that address these limitations.
You will support integration of new and existing weapons into new firing platforms and sensor networks.
You will participate in live testing and hardware testing, using the collected data to validate design assumptions, assess current design sufficiency and add to the database of environmental data.
You will present conclusions to sponsors and industry and provide written documentation of work.
You will carry out assigned duties with minimal direction and mentor junior engineers and analysts conducting similar technical work.
