Astrion
RF Wake Scientist
Location:
Columbia, Maryland Clearance:
Secret Systems Engineering Group, Inc. (SEG) seeks a scientist to support the missile defense community by developing physics-based and statistical radio-frequency (RF) models and algorithms, and cutting-edge data products for ballistic missiles and hypersonic vehicles exhibiting endoatmospheric waking. These tools and products allow customers’ high-fidelity radar simulations to include the effects of wake and plasma on radar observations. These efforts support the development and testing of missile defense systems.
Responsibilities
Develop physics-based and statistical RF wake and plasma models and algorithms
Develop RF signature wake and plasma data products
Work with a cross-disciplinary team of engineers, subject matter experts, and support staff to deliver products on tight schedules
Document algorithms, tools, and data products
Contribute to testing and requirements development for RF wake and plasma simulations
Present technical work and provide technical expertise at conferences and meetings with customers, collaborators, and competitors
Minimum Requirements
Must be a U.S. citizen and meet eligibility requirements for a security clearance
Bachelor’s Degree of Science in physics, mathematics, or engineering, with a good GPA
Strong analytical, logical, and problem-solving skills
Comfortable working with a variety of computer platforms and languages
Strong ability to follow directions, self-check work, and learn from mistakes
Good written and verbal communication skills
Strong computational skills (C/C++, Fortran, MATLAB, Python, or equivalent)
Desired Qualifications
Master’s Degree in physics, mathematics, or engineering
At least 2 years of related work experience
Active Secret or TS/SCI Clearance
Familiarity with version-control software
Familiarity with simulation of physics-based models
Familiarity with high-performance computing environment
MATLAB and Linux experience strongly preferred
C++ experience preferred
Radar and missile defense system experience preferred
Employment type
