ResponsibilitiesArcfield is seeking analytics focused Radar Sensor Systems Engineers to provide Systems Engineering Technical Advisor (SETA) support to a DoD customer in the Space Remote Sensing Domain.
The GREY HAVEN program is responsible for coordinating, integrating, and executing all necessary modeling, simulations, and technical analysis to deliver recommendations and technical assistance in support of the customer mission.
The successful candidate will conduct Radar analyses to support recommendations related to the insertion of new RADAR technology and assist the development of sensor models for new data collection systems and methods.
Familiarity with current GEOINT systems and products will be necessary to develop, assess, and execute test and verification methodologies.
Activities include, but are not limited to:
Sensor modeling including development and analysis of payload performance tables.Algorithm assessment to quantify product performance for desired mission applications.Baseline assessment of system performance to support sensor initialization.Regression analysis and evaluations of delivered operational capabilities.Development, preparation, and execution of comprehensive test & evaluation plans, procedures and schedules which verify and validate enterprise capabilities, system requirements, performance, and operability.Readiness for system integration, test, evaluation, and transition activitiesAnalysis and performance requirement verification of new capabilities and emerging systemsConsidered an emerging authority, who applies extensive technical expertise, develops technical solutions to complex problems, and exercises considerable latitude in determining objectives and approaches to assignment.Using a holistic approach, designs, develops, evaluates, and modifies end-to-end systems and systems-oriented products through their entire life cycle. Generates quantifiable requirements based on customer description, system planning and design, and acquisition logistics.Ensures requirements comply with client requirements and government standards through formal verification methods.Translates high level product development strategies into system requirement specifications and works with other engineering disciplines to develop lower-level detailed implementation requirements. Establishes and coordinates development of standards, practices, and procedures as related to the overall product development. Designs interfaces and brings system elements together, so they work as a whole. Assesses performance using evaluation criteria and technical performance measures. Customer liaison and support for business development activities and to understand and shape requirements. Participates in system conceptual design and documentation of the design concepts. Translates high level product development strategies into system requirement specifications and works with multi-discipline engineering teams to develop lower-level detailed requirements. Participates in design reviews of components (hardware and software) to ensure applicability to the current system and traceability of requirements through compliance verification and validation. Generates system level requirements verification procedures and customer acceptance test procedures.Reviews test plans/procedures and ensures they meet the objectives of the contractual requirements and participates in the testing process to validate requirements.
