To help defend our nation, deployed forces, and allies from ballistic missile attacks, the Integrated Missile Defense Technology Group supports the Missile Defense Agency in the development, deployment, testing, and enhancement of the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS). We continuously develop and enhance BMDS elements to enable them to keep up with rapidly evolving threats. Our staff are involved in the development and integration of these elements from the analysis and characterization of the worldwide ballistic missile threat to the fielding of new BMDS capabilities. We perform system and component engineering, algorithm development, advanced technology prototyping, and validation of system performance by means of testing and analysis. Group 36, the Integrated Missile Defense Technology group, seeks a highly motivated individual to join in an outstanding and interdisciplinary team in solving challenging and critically important defense problems through simulation, modeling, algorithm development, hardware prototyping, field testing and analysis.

  • Work on a broad range of problems, including research in modern radar design, adaptive signal and array processing, tracking, statistical inference, and data analysis.
  • Contribute to the group's efforts in developing and evaluating new radar algorithms in classical areas such as detection and tracking.
  • Focus on intelligent incorporation of relevant physical models into learning architectures for target characterization and classification.
  • Perform systems analysis and algorithm design for proposed and existing state-of-the-art radar systems.
  • Engage in closed-loop active sensing to adaptively interrogate a set of targets and environment with an evolving amount of inferred information.
  • Conduct data engineering using expert knowledge of physics, signal processing, and the latest data management frameworks to enable efficient algorithm development and testing.
  • PhD in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics or a related field.
  • In lieu of a PhD, a MS and 3 years of experience will be considered.
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance.
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans
  • MIT-funded pension
  • Matching 401K
  • Paid leave (including vacation, sick, parental, military, etc.)
  • Tuition reimbursement and continuing education programs
  • Mentorship programs
  • A range of work-life balance options
