Systems Analyst Jobs

Advanced Concepts & Technologies Group Systems Analyst

The Advanced Concepts & Technologies Group is looking for exceptional engineers, scientists, and mathematicians who are excited to work on challenging problems and join our team. The group develops technology to protect and enhance the effectiveness of our deployed sailors, soldiers, and assets while enabling operations in a rapidly evolving complex threat environment. The group's research and development activities include architecture and concept design, advanced algorithms development, software and hardware prototyping, experimental field-testing, and data analysis.

Our team focuses on creating new capabilities through analysis of critical problems leading to rapid prototyping of software and hardware. Of particular interest to the group is the development of concepts to address key national problems through advanced electronic warfare systems prototypes, advanced sensors prototypes, novel signal processing techniques, mathematical optimization approaches, and artificial intelligence to enable the development of next generation systems for fleet and surface assets.

Due to the wide-ranging nature of research, this dynamic group is comprised of a team of scientists and engineers with expertise in physics, mathematics, computer science, and various engineering backgrounds. The group values inclusiveness, fosters mentoring at all levels, and promotes critical and innovative thinking to address the needs of the nation. The successful candidate will be part of a highly collaborative team that thrives in solving complex challenges, fosters innovation, supports career growth, and is dedicated to making a positive impact for our nation.

Job Description The Advanced Concepts and Technologies Group works throughout the technology development cycle including the development of architectures, concepts, algorithms, software, and hardware prototypes. The group is seeking a systems analyst to join our team, understand our key missions, and perform analyses on architectures and concepts needed to solve hard problems in the National Security space. The candidate will work as part of a team to develop physics- and engineering-based analysis tools for a wide variety of technologies related to sensors, electronic warfare systems, space systems, and crewed/uncrewed platforms.

The candidate will use these tools to perform analyses of these systems and missions and convey the results of their analyses through technical briefings to government sponsors and other technical experts. While previous experience in these systems isn't required, the successful candidate must be able to leverage their technical background to rapidly develop understanding across these technology areas as they learn from, and collaborate with, experts across the group and the Laboratory.

In addition, to be successful in the role, the candidate will need to develop clear, concise briefings to place technical results in context and explain them to a wide range of audiences. Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Independently add features and capabilities to the existing analysis tools, including the technical background to accurately model basic physics phenomenology in terms of RF propagation, electronic warfare, missile flyouts, sensors detection and similar effects
• Work with the team to scope the analysis problem, understand what new features are required in the tools to support analysis, implement these features, and interpret the results
• Along with the rest of the team, implement overall software architecture and quality control of the codebase, including how new features should best be added and tested/verified
• Perform modeling runs needed for analysis and build tools that allow for efficient batch runs and analysis of results, as well as exploration and interpretation of results
• Develop clear, compelling briefings based on analysis and present results to both internal and external/sponsor audiences
