The Surface Radars and Sensors (SR&S) Center in Huntsville, AL is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to support radar test activities, including radar performance analysis, test planning, and post‑mission activities. Responsibilities include planning and executing radar test events, conducting in‑depth data analyses, developing verification strategies for advanced radar capabilities, and collaborating with multidisciplinary engineering teams.

• Develop, execute, and analyze modeling and simulation scenarios to predict radar performance, validate algorithm updates, and compare modeled results to test data.
• Provide real‑time and near‑real‑time field analysis during test events, including sensor behavior validation and system performance assessments.
• Collaborate with cross‑discipline engineers, program leadership, and government stakeholders to define analysis objectives, prioritize data sets, and communicate findings effectively.
• Create and present detailed analysis reports, performance assessments, test summaries, and presentation materials for internal and external stakeholders.
• Support technical reviews, including peer reviews, gate reviews, verification events, and test readiness reviews, ensuring alignment with program goals.
• Participate in test planning by defining data collection requirements, preparing analysis tools and scripts, and ensuring readiness with integration and test teams.
• Conduct systems validation, algorithm performance assessments, data analysis, and test event reconstruction for complex digital radar systems.
• Ensure test activities, including data capture, configuration tracking, and validation procedures, meet engineering processes, quality standards, and government requirements.
• Domestic travel is expected, approximately 10–20%.

• Typically requires a STEM degree and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience with radar fundamentals, including waveforms, beamforming, detection, and/or signal processing.
• Experience with MATLAB, Python, and/or other programming languages.
• Experience with system integration, verification, validation, and/or testing.

• Experience supporting radar test planning, execution, or post‑test data analysis.
• Demonstrated experience in test, integration, or verification and validation of missile defense system, Army, and/or Navy sensors.
• Experience working within multidisciplinary systems engineering teams.
• Experience interfacing with internal or external customers, providing technical solutions to user requirements, analyzing radar data, and generating and maintaining technical documentation and work instructions.
• Experience supporting development of verification/validation strategies for advanced radar capabilities and software builds, including building and executing simulated scenarios to predict sensor performance.

• Relocation assistance available.
• Medical, dental, vision, life insurance, short‑term disability, long‑term disability, 401(k) match, flexible spending accounts, flexible work schedules, employee assistance program, Employee Scholar Program, parental leave, paid time off, and holidays (dependent on business unit and collective‑bargaining agreement).
