Radar Modeling and Simulation Analyst

Booz Allen Hamilton•Beavercreek, OH

2d•$61,900 - $141,000

About The Position

Develop and refine radar, antenna, weapon, and communication-system models to support classified analyses of future weapon and platform concepts for Department of Defense clients. The role focuses on modeling foreign threat systems and evaluating the detectability, survivability, and vulnerability of airborne systems, weapons, and platforms in future combat scenarios. Develop radar and antenna models using a solid signal-processing background, write radar signal-processing code, and develop and refine weapon models using Fortran, C++, MATLAB, and Simulink. Analyze tactics, techniques, and procedures that can improve survivability and vulnerability assessments, and contribute to informed acquisition decisions for future systems. Work on a fast-paced, team-oriented client-delivery mission supporting the Air Force and national security, with opportunities to develop technical, leadership, and communication skills.

Requirements

At least 2 years of experience coding in MATLAB, C++, or Fortran.
Knowledge of radar principles related to antennas, signal processing, and track filters.
Ability to work in a dynamic team environment.
Active Secret clearance.
Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.

Nice To Haves

At least 2 years of experience working with computational electromagnetic software such as FEKO.
Experience with engineering and mathematics.
Experience with modeling and simulation.
Experience with Linux.
Knowledge of U.S. and foreign combat weapon systems, including airborne and ground-based air defense systems.
Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
TS/SCI clearance.
Master’s degree in Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.
