Low Observables Engineer Sr

Description

You will be the Low Observables Engineer Sr Staff for the Low Observables (Signature Management & Survivability) team which is responsible for advancing stealth and survivability technologies.

As the Low Observables Engineer Sr Staff you will be responsible for leading the end‑to‑end maturation of low observable technologies from concept through production. You will drive technical strategy, coordinate multidisciplinary efforts, and represent the team to senior leadership and government forums.

• Perform, analyze, and communicate vehicle signature predictions using Unix‑based codes and tools.
• Lead signature‑reduction trade studies and optimization campaigns for platform‑level and component‑level designs.
• Plan and execute laboratory measurements of material coupons to determine physical, electrical, and environmental properties.
• Develop and test advanced electromagnetic metamaterials for low observable platforms.
• Write and maintain scripts for batch analysis and post‑processing to support rapid design iteration.

We are committed to supporting your work‑life balance and overall well‑being, offering flexible scheduling options.
