About The Position

Davidson is seeking a Modeling and Simulation (M&S) Systems Engineer to support the Missile Defense Sensors (MDS) department in Woburn, Massachusetts. The MDS department works in concept development, architectural design, requirements generation and flow-down, modeling and simulation, systems analysis, integration, test, and evaluation of missile defense and sensor systems. The engineer will contribute to the enhancement and modernization of Ground-Based Radar (GBR) Systems by developing and analyzing system requirements, designing system architectures, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver radar solutions. The role focuses on developing, maintaining, documenting, and analyzing scenarios used to test requirements. This includes creating objects, characteristics, and environmental conditions; compiling executable scenarios; tracking scenario versions and their associated test cases; investigating scenario issues; modifying scenarios as requirements change; and supporting scenario analysis during test-case execution. The engineer will also maintain a database of final scenarios. Candidates must currently hold an active DoD Secret Clearance.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Engineering, Science, Math, or a related discipline.
2–4 years of experience with DOORS/Cameo requirements modeling or scripting and test-case definition.
Early Warning Radar (EWR) hardware and/or software experience.
Knowledge of requirements development methodology.
Proficiency in radar test methodology.
Proficiency in MATLAB scripting for data analysis.
Prior experience in radar requirements development.
Scenario generation experience.
Test-case design experience.
Currently hold an active DoD Secret Clearance.
