Parsons Corporation•Huntsville, AL

7d•$134,100 - $241,400

About The Position

Parsons is seeking an exceptionally talented Senior Radar/RF Engineer to join our team! In this role, you will perform modeling and simulation of defensive weapon systems used by peer and near-peer adversaries, with a focus on surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems, RF sensors, target acquisition and tracking, 6-DOF missile flyout, command and seeker endgame, network-centric warfare techniques, command-and-control (C2/C4), and advanced Radar/RF techniques.

Requirements

Must be a U.S. Citizen and possess an active Secret clearance.
Must be willing and able to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI clearance.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field and 15+ years of relevant experience.
OR Master’s degree with 17+ years of relevant experience.
Experience with modeling and simulation of weapon systems, including Radar, Directed Energy Weapons, Surface-to-Air Missile Systems, RF Jammers, Missile Seekers, and/or Anti-Satellite weapons.

Nice To Haves

Experience with EO/IR systems.
Experience modeling threat weapon systems in TMAP, ODESSA, ESAMS, AFSIM, LIVE, and/or ITASE.
Experience with STIMS 2.0 (Simulink), STIMS 3.0 (C++), and/or LIVE modeling frameworks/standards.
Software development experience in a DevOps or DevSecOps environment.
Experience working in an AGILE software development team.
Experience mentoring junior team members.
Experience designing, developing, or operating code for distributed processing environments.
Experience working with environmental datasets and RF propagation.

Responsibilities

Design, develop, test, and maintain software models that simulate or emulate real-world adversarial Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) systems within TMAP STIMS 2.0, STIMS 3.0, and/or LIVE modeling frameworks.
Perform subsystem and system-level modeling and simulation based on all-source intelligence data.
Address intelligence gaps using expertise in weapon systems, waveforms, signal processing, probability of detection/intercept, electronic warfare, antennas, and electromagnetics; analyze and implement EO/IR techniques.
Develop algorithms and techniques for active and passive detection, signal processing chains, clutter mitigation, electronic attack, waveform selection and scheduling, and adaptive beamforming.
Conduct engineering analysis of real-world threat weapon systems, supplementing all-source intelligence assessments to inform the software model lifecycle, including development, maintenance, and study support.
Track and understand software model requirements to ensure alignment with customer objectives.
Analyze characteristics, capabilities, and limitations of real-world threat weapon systems and develop digital twin representations.
Develop software using MATLAB/SIMULINK, C/C++, and/or Python to create high-fidelity models and simulations.
Participate in technical discussions to support both near- and long-term planning for model development and integration.
Collaborate within a team environment and mentor junior and mid-level software developers.
