We are seeking a Senior Low Observable Design, Analysis and Test Engineer to join the Air and Naval Defense Systems Mechanical Design Team. This design team functions within the Mechanical Directorate and is committed to excellence supporting our customers and allies worldwide.
You will lead LO Design, Radar Cross Section (RCS) design, predictions and measurements tests of developmental and production systems. The LO Engineer is expected to perform RCS predictions and should be familiar with limitations of Computational Electromagnetic Codes (CEM). Deliverables will include test documentation, data analysis, anomaly resolution, results documentation, and presentation of results to both internal and external customers. Candidate will work in integrated product teams to incorporate advanced signature control techniques into deliverable products and aid in the assessment of system performance. Note that occasional non-standard work shifts may be expected during testing.
We value diverse skills and experience, so don’t hold back. Your qualification could add tremendous value to our team. Our customers come from all different backgrounds, and so do our employees. If you’re passionate about what you could accomplish here, we’d love to hear from you.
Responsibilities to Anticipate:
- The selected individual will document all activities pertaining to test preparation, data analysis, design trades, prediction results, and others.
- You will work within integrated product teams and support all aspects of that team’s design efforts with some direction from Senior Low Observables Engineer
- Present results of testing, analysis, and design efforts to internal and external customers
- Occasional travel for business, training, and conferences
A PhD can account for 5 years of experience as required for this position.
Qualifications You Must Have:
- Bachelor’s in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM)
- Five (5) years of engineering experience, which must include Low Observable (LO) technology or Radar Cross Section or Computational Electromagnetic Codes (CEM) or 3 years relevant experience with an advance degree.
- The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.
Qualifications We Value:
- Multiple tests of LO targets on ground plane ranges and compact ranges
- Absorber material treatments / design and testing experience (coatings, paint, MAGRAM)
