Principal / Senior Principal Radar Modeling Simulation Analysis Systems Engineer

Principal Radar Modeling Simulation & Analysis Systems Engineer / Senior Principal Radar Modeling Simulation & Analysis Systems Engineer Location: Baltimore, MD (full‑time on site) Core Responsibilities Accelerate delivery of capabilities through advanced models and simulations of platforms, sensors, weapons, and their environmental interactions. Utilize Modeling, Simulation, Experimentation & Analysis (MSE&A) of advanced systems using C++ object‑oriented design, advanced data structures, and test‑driven development. Develop large‑scale data analytics, probabilities, statistics, and apply design‑of‑experiment techniques to evaluate system and mission performance. Integrate MSE&A with operational flight software, collect and analyze laboratory or flight test data, and validate simulation performance against flight data, ensuring models meet specified requirements. Produce publication‑quality reports that support simulation credibility and formal Verification, Validation and Accreditation (VVA). Innovate to solve problems and identify improvements across MSE&A products. Perform operational and mission effectiveness analysis. Develop new or integrate existing simulation frameworks, performance models, algorithms, threat models, and command and control models. Model operational environments, conduct trade studies via computer simulation, and recommend alternative architectures. Simulate real‑time operations and develop software that simulates the behavior of systems. Develop, integrate, and use advanced graphical user interfaces and visualization tools.
