- Engineer/Physicist/Computer Scientist
- Weapon Control

Are you looking for exciting opportunities to help determine how to best defend the United States, our armed forces, and our allies from all forms of air and missile threats? Are you passionate about using innovation and advanced technologies to solve technical challenges?

If you are graduating with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics, or similar degrees and want to work in an exciting and collaborative environment to solve challenging technical national security problems, we'd like you to join our team.

We are seeking innovative and highly talented technical graduates to join our Weapon Control Concepts Development Group which specializes in advanced research and program of record activities for rapid prototype developments.

In particular, you will conduct modeling and simulation analysis, identify defensive systems gaps, and develop new system concepts to revolutionize defensive capabilities for the U.S.A. You will apply math, engineering, computer science, and physics knowledge to implement new distributed algorithms, advanced Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning (AI/ML) techniques, object tracking and discrimination, data fusion concepts, etc. in support of a wide variety of U.S. Navy, Missile Defense, and Air Force systems.

As a member of our team...

• You will conduct research and development activities related to U.S. Missile Defense systems.
• You will assist in the development, testing, and analysis of new concepts related to weapon control systems.
• You will implement algorithms and design modeling and simulation components of systems.
• You will develop AI/ML-based concepts and technical solutions to solve challenging problems.
• You will apply novel data fusion and tracking concepts for object tracking and discrimination applications.
• You will utilize advanced programming languages to develop and test technical solutions.
• You will develop prototype capabilities and work with real-world systems to transition ideas to fielded systems.
• You will effectively communicate technical recommendations to APL leadership, government sponsors, and the engineering community.
• You will contribute to a dynamic group culture to uphold core values through participation in collaborative teams and activities, as well as a dedication to continual improvement, innovation and risk-taking, and developing high quality products.
