Job Title
Lead Radar Simulation Engineer
– Lockheed Martin, Camden, NJ Overview
As part of the Lockheed Martin community, we tackle complex challenges through creativity and collaboration. If you thrive on solving intricate problems, Rotary and Mission Systems offers you an environment where passion meets purpose. The Work
Develop high-fidelity modeling and simulation for radar tracking algorithms to support the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). Conduct performance analyses and trade studies on tracking functions. Provide algorithm design feedback of low-to-high fidelity
LRDR RepBox
code that incorporates sensing phenomenology, signal processing, detection, tracking, discrimination functionalities, and interface dependencies with other Ground-Based Midcourse Defense components. Offer expertise in radar tracking and sensor fusion, coordinate analysis activities with senior management and government personnel, prepare detailed reports and briefings, and present findings to the MDA. Responsibilities
The Lead Radar Simulation Engineer will: Analyze RepBox anchoring runs and compare to HWIL runs (flight test and/or ground test). Act as liaison for RepBox development team when obtaining reach-back support from Moorestown LRDR prime contractor. Identify and elaborate feature improvements to the RepBox LRDR model. Provide continuous feedback to the RepBox development team to guide development of applicable models, particularly with new algorithm designs, higher fidelity recommendations, interface changes, and anomalous behavior. Define certification criteria for the LRDR radar model RepBox and provide certification statements as the radar SME. Provide certification level radar SME analysis support with anchoring data to HWIL and RepBox run output. Document off-nominal or out-of-family results and report to the RepBox development team. Travel to visit LRDR prime contractor for training and instruction on LRDR capabilities, features, and data analysis. Basic Qualifications
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, Mathematics, Physics or related STEM with minimum 9 years of related experience. Experience in radar tracking system methodologies including state estimation (e.g., EKF, IMM), detection-to-track association (e.g., GNN, MHT), and general track management. Experience analyzing LRDR RepBox model aspects of tracking systems and compare back to anchored data. Desired Skills
Experience with tracking systems within elements of the Missile Defense System, including sensor fusion techniques. Ability and willingness to learn new physical and mathematical concepts. Strong communication skills. Ability to work both independently and in a group setting. Knowledge of the Long-Range Discrimination Radar and its Tracking algorithms. Experience with electromagnetic attack. Experience in creation of novel tracking system algorithms, and/or algorithm optimizations. Experience working in a team environment. Experience conducting system of systems analysis and trade studies. Proficiency in C++. EEO
Lockheed Martin is an equal opportunity employer. Qualified candidates will be considered without regard to legally protected characteristics. Application Window
The application window will close in 90 days; applicants are encouraged to apply within 5–30 days of the requisition posting date to receive optimal consideration.
