BASIC FUNCTIONS OF THE JOB:

The UEWR System Analyst has the overall technical responsibility for reducing and analyzing track data for a ground-based phased array radar site. The System Analyst will also act as a mentor for the computer and radar operations staff and will help to develop and refine operational procedures or checklists.

PRIMARY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Utilize software tools such as Matlab and Mathematica to perform data reduction, analysis, and report trends and performance of radar track data.
• Analyze hardware diagnostic outputs to determine anomalies for troubleshooting.
• Develop mathematical algorithms for array signal processing, performance predictions/analysis, data analysis for radar returns.
• Apply mathematical and algorithm knowledge to define system performance related to radar tracking, target discrimination, computing loads and processing thresholds, and system engagement timelines.
• Perform trajectory analysis and provide insight to the customer for RF/IR signature data products.
• Use digital simulation tools and perform some original programming as needed for analysis and data manipulation.
• Document mathematical and statistical analytical results in a combination of formal presentations and present analysis results at team meetings and customer reviews.
• Recommends system modifications as required to maintain radar/computer system performance within written specifications.
• Maintains site internal calibration satellite lists.
• Writes and executes test plans for local Test and Evaluation of mission software versions and evaluates these versions for anomalies and degradation.
• Documents unusual and/or unique system events in a written format known as a Problem Report.
  • If appropriate, generates a Standard Change Form (SCF) to document software anomalies.
  • Maintains files of all problem reports and SCFs and makes them available for government review.
  • Provides technical inputs for site Operations Approval Review Board including the maintenance of all SCFs applicable to this system and recommends a priority ranking of same based upon criticality.
  • Also writes Hardware Modification requests and submits to appropriate review board for review and approval.
• Must perform data analysis…
