• 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.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with radar system concepts, including detection, discrimination, tracking, and signal-processing algorithms, their behaviors, and performance.
• Experience developing, documenting, maintaining, and/or designing system-level requirements and system-level software architecture.
• Hands-on experience developing and coding system models, algorithms, test vectors, and evaluation tools to analyze radar requirements and performance.
• Ability to develop, document, and maintain processes, methods, and tools that support engineering excellence.

• Experience collaborating across disciplines and communicating with all organizational levels and external stakeholders.
• Advanced degree in STEM.

Responsibilities

• Create the objects, characteristics, and conditions—including environmental factors such as clutter and ionospheric effects—needed to test requirements.
• Develop scenario definitions incorporating objects.
• Compile executable scenarios.
• Maintain an inventory and database of scenario versions mapped to applicable test cases, identifying objects, characteristics, and environmental factors.
• Document scenario objectives, descriptions, and desired functional outcomes.
• Investigate scenario issues.
• Modify scenarios as requirements are updated, including changes to object conditions, characteristics, or environmental factors.
• Support scenario analysis for test case execution.
• Maintain a database of all final scenarios.
