Job Description

The Advanced Concepts and Technologies Group works throughout the technology development cycle including the development of architectures, concepts, algorithms, software, and hardware prototypes.  We are looking for systems analysts to join our team, understand our key missions, and help develop the architectures and concepts needed to solve hard problems in the National Security space.  Key to success in this role will be an ability to think broadly and creatively about a wide range of challenging technical problems, while also being able to frame and scope technical analysis either independently or while guiding a team.  This analysis will include the development of physics- and engineering-based models for a wide variety of technologies related to sensors, electronic warfare systems, space systems, and crewed/uncrewed platforms.  While previous experience in these systems isn’t required, the successful candidate must be able to leverage their strong, broad technical background to rapidly develop expertise across these technology areas as they learn from, and collaborate with, experts across the group and the Laboratory.  In addition, to be successful in the role, the candidate will need to develop clear, concise briefings to place technical results in context and explain them to a wide range of audiences, ranging from DoD senior leaders to other technical subject matter experts.

 

Education / Qualifications:

Ph.D. (or M.S. with at least five years of experience) in Physics, Engineering, Mathematics, Aeronautics/Astronautics, or related field; Strong programming skills in any language (MATLAB, Python,
