• Conduct analysis for system trouble shooting and analysis
• Improve code quality by performing code reviews and good software practice

• Proficiency in MATLAB; code optimization and numerical stability
• Understanding of basic software development principles – configuration control, collaborative development, formal processes
• Experience in reading and developing algorithm descriptions, mathematical expressions and derivations, matrix manipulations, outlier analysis, and system level analysis
• Experience in performing data analysis and problem solving (e.g. anomaly investigation)
• Proficient skills in written and oral communication
• Experience working well in teams and multi-tasking
• Demonstrable computer skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and Share Point
• Ability to obtain a SECRET Security Clearance or Higher is REQUIRED
• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) unless prohibited by local laws/regulations and minimum 2 years of prior relevant experience or an Advanced Degree in a related field
• The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance.

• Experience in the systems engineering discipline
• Experience performing complex statistical analysis and/or mathematical modeling
• Experience performing model driven design using Simulink and auto generated code
• Experience with development of solutions to GPS Navigation Systems
• Willingness to travel and do field work
