About The Position

Davidson is seeking a Radar Systems Engineer to support its Missile Defense Sensors (MDS) department in Woburn, Massachusetts. The MDS department provides expertise 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.

The role focuses on developing, managing, and analyzing test scenarios. This includes creating objects, characteristics, and conditions—including environmental factors such as clutter and ionospheric effects—needed to test requirements; defining scenarios and compiling them into executable form; maintaining scenario inventories, databases, and versions mapped to test cases; documenting scenario objectives and expected functional outcomes; investigating scenario issues; updating scenarios as requirements change; and supporting scenario analysis during test-case execution. The engineer will also maintain a database of final scenarios.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in engineering, science, mathematics, or a related discipline.
• 2–4 years of experience with DOORS/Cameo requirements modeling or scripting and test-case definition.
• Early Warning Radar 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, signal-processing algorithms, and their behaviors and performance.
• Experience in system-level requirements development, documentation, maintenance, and/or design of system-level software architecture.
• Hands-on experience developing and coding system models, algorithms, test vectors, and evaluation tools to analyze radar requirements and performance.
• Experience developing, documenting, and maintaining processes, methods, and tools to ensure engineering excellence.
• Track record of developing technical solutions to complex engineering challenges.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C/C++, and Java, and tools such as DOORS.
• Familiarity with Agile software development and associated tools such as JIRA and Confluence.
• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills, with a history of delivering innovative technical solutions.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
• Excellent communication skills, including technical writing, oral presentations, and interpersonal skills.
• Experience interfacing with customers and leading the development of technical solutions for complex user requirements.
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a geographically distributed team environment.
• Experience collaborating across disciplines and communicating effectively with all organizational levels and external stakeholders.
• Advanced degree in a STEM field.

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 and compile scenarios into executable form.
• Maintain an inventory and database of scenario versions mapped to applicable test cases, including objects, characteristics, and environmental factors.
• Document scenario objectives, descriptions, and desired functional outcomes.
• Investigate scenario issues.
• Modify scenarios to accommodate requirement updates and new object characteristics, conditions, or environmental factors.
• Support scenario analysis during test-case execution.
• Maintain a database of final scenarios.
• Support the enhancement and modernization of Ground-Based Radar Systems through requirements development and analysis, system architecture design, and multidisciplinary collaboration.
