About The Position

Are you looking for exciting opportunities to lead efforts to model, analyze, and develop state of the art concepts in integrated and layered missile defense involving kinetic and non-kinetic capabilities? Do you love working in an exciting and collaborative environment to tackle challenging technical problems? Do you want to have a tangible impact on the world around you and contribute to solving critical challenges that face the country? If so, we 're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL! We are seeking a senior engineer (or equivalent background) to help us lead teams to model, analyze, and develop the next generation of solutions to our nation's most challenging missile defense problems. As the threats to our defenses grow, we need creative thinkers and leaders that will push the boundaries of capability to ensure we stay ahead of these threats by thinking outside the box, taking risks, and collaborating across a team of engineers. As a Senior Missile Defense Systems Modeling and Analysis Engineer... Your primary responsibility will be leading teams and writing and using MATLAB to develop and analyze Missile Defense systems. You will model, analyze, and lead performance assessments of fielded and conceptual systems and find opportunities for improvement. You will propose and develop innovative concepts/algorithms to improve US capabilities. You will develop presentations to effectively communicate technical recommendations to APL leadership, government sponsors, and the engineering community. You will contribute to a dynamic group culture to uphold core values through participation in collaborative teams and activities, as well as a dedication to continual improvement, innovation and risk-taking, and developing high quality products.
