In a world of possibilities, pursue one with endless opportunities. Imagine Next! At Parsons, you can imagine a career where you thrive, work with exceptional people, and be yourself. Guided by our leadership vision of valuing people, embracing agility, and fostering growth, we cultivate an innovative culture that empowers you to achieve your full potential. Unleash your talent and redefine what’s possible.

At Parsons we’re passionate about developing cutting‑edge, creative solutions, and fostering a highly sought‑out place of employment for many of the brightest minds in the industry. We’re a one-of‑a‑kind mid‑tier government contractor providing leading‑edge capabilities critical to the future of national security. At Parsons, we’ve developed a culture of going above and beyond the normal expectations in the delivery of our work.

Ready for a challenge that will keep you on the cutting edge of systems engineering, modeling, simulation, and RF signal and data processing techniques? Are you a systems engineer ready to assist Parsons and the US Army in using state of the art engineering tools to support advancing the Army’s next generation of radar for ground vehicles?

Parsons welcomes an exceptional systems engineer to join our on‑going Science and Technology (S&T) efforts at one of the Army’s premier R&D Centers at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland. As part of the Parsons team supporting advanced radar capabilities development, you’ll have access to state-of-the-art engineering and modeling tools and subject matter expertise in the areas of radar, modeling and simulation, and software/hardware development for current and future Army radar and sensor systems.

Working as part of our high-caliber, dynamic team, you will support the advancement of approaches to develop and implement new radar concepts within a laboratory environment. You’ll support technical coordination with internal and external organizations to address requirements definition, use case development, and subsystem integration. You’ll have an opportunity to influence the development of next-generation advanced radar capabilities that will include being part of a high-performing team that will research, design, develop, and collaborate across programs to achieve end‑to‑end solutions, providing new analytic, statistical, radio‑frequency signal and visual analysis capabilities.
