From Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Description
Are you interested in researching, developing, and analyzing innovative ways to produce impactful information from many different types of sensors and sources of data?
Would you like to advance your ideas from concept to prototype to field testing on US military ships, aircraft, satellites, and ground systems?
Would you take satisfaction in developing advanced capabilities that will be used by US military personnel to achieve their missions in Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Targeting (ISRT) and Battle Management Command and Control (BMC2)?
If so, we'd love to have you join our team at APL!
We are seeking creative engineers, scientists, mathematicians, and programmers to help us conceptualize, develop, test, assess, and field the next generation of ISRT and Counter-ISRT capabilities for the US military.
Our team serves as the Laboratory’s premier engine for transforming cutting edge ISRT and BMC2 concepts into combat ready kill chain and counter–kill chain capabilities. We integrate high fidelity modeling and analytics, software interfaces and DevOps, operations and threat characterization, rapid prototyping, and integrated test and experimentation to address the most demanding capability gaps for the Joint Force.
Our team designs and develops interoperable, end to end autonomous and distributed kill chain architectures and rigorously evaluates them through realistic, Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2) focused test environments and field experimentation to ensure successful technology transition. Through this work, we enable warfighters to achieve and sustain dominance in contested environments across the full spectrum of conflict.
As an Engineer/Analyst for ISRT and BMC2 Scientific Applications, you may
Contribute to teams developing algorithms, mathematical-physical models, software prototypes, and deployable software applications for ISRT applications.
Use mission level modeling and simulation tools to evaluate and improve ISR&T and BMC2 concepts, sensor architectures, and kill chain performance.
Develop new multi-sensor data fusion, and multi-sensor resource optimization techniques.
Develop and analyze new ISRT and BMC2 concepts and architectures.
Plan, execute and conduct data analysis and integration and test (I&T) for field tests and experiments.
Collaborate with teams to develop user interfaces, visualizations, and network/web services.
Present your results to project leads, sponsors, and technical workshops and conferences.
Qualifications
You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...
Have a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, Data Science or another related field.
Have skills and experience developing scientific and engineering applications in programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, C++, or Java
Have strong interpersonal and written communications skills.
Have the ability to work and collaborate effectively in a team environment.
Have the ability to multi-task, support multiple, concurrent projects, and adapt to changing circumstances.
Are willing and able to work a portion of the time in secure, closed areas and travel occasionally to government sites and contractor facilities (local and non-local).
Are able to ultimately obtain a Top-Secret SCI 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 skills and experience developing software from conceptualization to fully functional applications
Have skills and experience developing software from conceptualization to fully functional applications.
Have skills and experience with test and evaluation techniques at unit, bench, system and system of system level.
Have technical expertise in any of the following areas (or similar): sensor and data fusion, RF physics and sensors, EO/IR sensors, resource management, communications networks, statistical analysis, mathematical optimization, multi-target tracking.
Have domain knowledge in any of the following areas: ISR processes, systems, platforms, and sensors used by the US military and intelligence community; Navy and Air Force kill chain concepts; targeting, C2, and mission planning processes and tools; threat systems, weapon platforms and systems, and communications networks.
Have experience or desire in supporting field experimentation and test events, working with military operators and warfighters.
Hold an active Secret, Top Secret, or TS/SCI-level security clearance.
