Job Description:

The Sensors Division at STR focuses on technology development for advanced sensor systems, particularly in the areas of airborne/surface-based radar, electronic warfare, underwater acoustics, hyperspectral imaging, and EO/IR sensing. Within this role, we develop full system prototypes, experimental campaigns, and technology components. Roles within the Sensors Division include RF analog/digital hardware, acoustic hardware, signal processing algorithms, machine learning algorithms, tracking/fusion, as well as real-time embedded processor implementation.The Advanced Architectures and Algorithms (AAA) Group within the Sensors Division develops advanced signal processing and waveforms, machine learning, tracking/fusion algorithms, and resource management algorithms for next-generation ground-based, airborne, and space-based radar systems and EO/IR systems. We implement, characterize, and deploy these algorithms onto prototype demonstration systems as well as operational systems. Our main customer focus is on Air Force and DARPA research programs.The AAA Group is seeking a Systems Analyst to work with high-performing multidisciplinary teams developing and characterizing the impact of advanced concepts and algorithms on the performance and survivability of operational systems in a variety of scenarios. You will work with scientists and engineers to implement algorithmic solutions to challenging national security problems. You will be responsible for enhancing the software architecture required to evaluate these solutions in large-scale scenarios with multiple threat systems, including modern/mobile air defenses. You will also contribute to the development of engineer-facing tools and processes to facilitate long-term software development. Responsibilities Include:+ Working as part of a small, focused team to develop, implement, and test large-scale physics-based simulations to evaluate system performance in operationally-relevant scenarios.+ Implementing event and agent-based modeling in C/C++ from verified algorithms written in higher-level languages such as Matlab.+ Developing expertise in the capabilities of current and future US and threat weapon systems and platformsRequired Qualifications:+ Ability to obtain a Security Clearance+ BS or MS in Physics, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering or related field+ Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python as well as other higher-level languages+ Experience using source code management (Git, Subversion)+ 2+ years of programming experienceDesired Qualifications:+ Active Security Clearance at the Secret or Top Secret (TS) level+ Object oriented programming skills in C/C+++ Experience with radar and/or EO/IR systems+ Familiarity with AFSIM, NGTS, or other large-scale simulation toolsSTR is a rapidly growing technology company with locations north of Boston, MA, Arlington, VA and near Dayton, OH.
