About The Position

Join a team developing a new U.S. Army radar system that integrates advanced sensor technology with existing Army Air and Missile Defense systems. The role requires in-depth knowledge of radar systems and theory, hardware, and strong analytical and problem-solving skills to analyze and report radar data from modeling, simulation, and live test events.

The successful candidate will manage a team of radar and seeker/signal-processing engineers, become proficient in data-reduction software and analysis tools, and regularly interface with Government customers and contractor subject matter experts. The position also involves mentoring future subject matter experts, assessing radar performance across simulations, tests, and real-world venues, and developing analysis techniques, tools, briefings, and reports. The role is with KBR’s Mission Technology Solutions business; employees who join before the planned spin-off will transition to Trinzic when the separation is complete.
