Job Description:
Description Are you interested in defining methodologies that
will be used for mission planning and test and evaluation of
current and future weapon systems? Do you like contributing to
complex efforts that require team-based approaches? If so, we're
looking for someone like you to join our team at APL. The System
Modeling, Evaluation, and Planning Group is seeking Weapon System
Analysts and Software Engineers to assess the planning and
evaluation the nation's primary strategic deterrents. You will be
joining a hardworking team of engineers, physicists, and
mathematicians who are passionate about their role as an
independent evaluator for the nation's strategic systems. We strive
to foster an environment of innovation and learning to develop the
critical technologies and experts of the future. As a member of our
team, you will work on one or more of the following... * Learn
about the principals of inertial navigation systems, including
accelerometers and gyroscopes, and leverage data collected during
flight tests and ground tests to estimate the underlying,
physics-based errors in these systems
* Learn about the dynamics of missile systems, reentry systems, and
their associated fuzing mechanisms, and leverage data collected
during flight tests and ground tests to estimate the underlying,
physics-based errors in these systems
* Evaluate system-level accuracy of current strategic weapon
systems and support the design and engineering of future systems to
meet mission needs
* Apply artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data fusion
methodologies to complex, real-world problems and build robust
computational frameworks to support advanced data-centric
analyses
* Advance the state of the art in mission planning by developing
software and implementing vehicle dynamics models for new and
prototype weapon systems
* Develop operational concepts for new weapon systems that leverage
advances in estimation and optimization
* Function as part of a multi-disciplinary team to analyze the
nuclear survivability of strategic weapon systems and structures
Qualifications You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if
you... * Have a Bachelor's degree in Math, Physics, Engineering,
Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field
* Have professional experience with software development and
implementation
* Are familiar with data analysis and associated computational
challenges
* Are inquisitive and are willing to learn new skills and expand
your capabilities
* Are able to obtain Interim Secret level security clearance by
your start date and can ultimately obtain Top Secret level
clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government
security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for
access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include
U.S. citizenship.
You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you have
experience in any of the following... * A Master's degree in Math,
Physics, Engineering, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related
field
* Statistical analysis, parameter estimation and inverse problems,
Kalman filtering, or maximum likelihood estimation using Fisher
information
* Linear systems and optimization methods
* Prior experience with tactical or strategic missile systems
* Developing software in C++ or other object-oriented programming
languages
* SQL, Database design and administration
* Model-based engineering applications such as DOORs, Cameo, and
SysML
* Have knowledge of High Energy Particle Physics, Thermal
Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Physics, Nuclear Engineering,
Nuclear Weapon Effects, or Plasma Physics
* Hold an active Secret or higher level clearance
