Engineer/Scientist (Radars)

As the Army's primary integrator of C5ISR technologies and systems, the U.S. Army Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C5ISR) Center conducts Research and Development, or R&D, across a wide variety of capability areas that support all of the Army's Modernization priorities. These include cyberspace operations, electronic warfare, intelligence, data analysis and fusion, tactical network design, wireless communications, radar, sensors, electro-optics, mission command applications, autonomy and machine learning, power and energy, modeling and simulation, counter-IED, minefield detection/defeat and assured positioning, navigation and timing. It is through employment of a dedicated and superior workforce, world class facilities and global partnerships that the C5ISR Center delivers needed capabilities to our Warfighters.

Responsibilities:

Responsible for the development of advances in the state-of-the-art and creation of new or substantially improved end items in the form of equipment, systems, materials, processes, procedures and techniques.

The work involves the exploitation of basic scientific knowledge through a series of sequential phases beginning with establishment of requirements, development of concept for a completed product.

Plan and carry out assignments for complete projects that entail a variety of complicating and interacting factors, relationships with other engineering specializations and in consideration of the complete development cycle.

Identify the scope and extent of the investigation, analysis, and design, and defines the specific engineering requirements and design criteria.

Work may also include responsibility for planning, organizing, directing and coordinating development programs that require diverse creative and support efforts contributed by others, such as laboratories or contractors.

Conduct studies and analysis to determine the feasibility of various advanced engineering approaches for future programs or to resolve major controversial problems in current programs.

Conduct studies on the feasibility of developing new products and/or theories pertaining to new applications of existing products.

Guide and evaluate the design and development activities of contractors and others in achieving new products.

Serve as an expert advisor for these broad and complex programs that advance the state-of-the-art.

Assess and demonstrate the effectiveness of new concepts and ideas and evaluates technological trends to achieve significant advancements in operational characteristics.

Explore and evaluate proposals that satisfy program and mission objectives.

Review and assess the overall progress of the development effort to resolve technical difficulties.

Perform modeling and simulation of Radar systems and their associated environments.

Develop concepts for Radar systems, integration, and testing and incorporates those concepts into System of System architectures.

Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree (or higher degree) in a school of engineering with at least one program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)

Performing engineering lifecycle activities or research/development to facilitate the procurement of products, goods and/or services needed to meet program/project requirements

Analyzing engineering/scientific data for use in program/project improvement and/or troubleshooting

Leading/participating on an engineering/scientific program or project

Technical design and development and/or technical support to customers in efforts related to technologies including, but not limited to Radar design, development, integration and testing, Radio Frequency (RF) sensors, and/or multifunction RF.
