New 3-year contract
Systems Modeling, Simulation and Analysis Engineer!
Pay Range: $70-$95/hr.
Clearance: eligible to obtain Secret.
Hybrid: 3 days onsite
The Advanced Concepts and Technologies Group develops and maintains analysis, simulation, control, and signal processing software, as part of its emphasis on prototyping, modeling, and field testing of high-performance sensors. Needs a Systems Modeling, Simulation and Analysis Engineer to develop and maintain high speed data transfer and recording, signal processing, systems analysis, real-time control, and visualization software. These tools incorporate a variety of languages as well as both open-source and in-house software tools.
This role will primarily entail developing, modeling, and simulation of Radar systems and the RF environment. Experience developing software for Radar systems and modeling is highly preferred. This includes signal processing, control, messaging, modeling, and metrics capture.
Assignments will require the successful candidate to:
- Design, specify, implement, test, maintain and document modular software functionality within existing sensor simulation frameworks utilizing modern software engineering techniques, open-source programming tools, and Laboratory-specific support processes
- Optimize code latency and throughput on high-performance computing platforms for real-time, distributed data collection and signal processing applications
- Collaborate, develop and manage software products through effective use of version control and continuous integration software
- Organize multiple assignments for separate programs to meet aggressive schedules with high-quality products
- Participate in defining, describing and implementing deliverable capabilities
- Evaluate and propose use of open source and commercial software, frameworks, libraries and tools where applicable
- Provide system administration for both Windows and Linux operating systems, including remote and virtual capabilities
- Work independently and in small groups with frequent (daily) peer interaction and less frequent (weekly) supervision
- Participate in occasional field testing of developed systems

Work location:
Hybrid - Individual works from home or off-site for a portion of their schedule and within a routinely commutable distance from the Bedford facility. Candidate should expect to work onsite 3 days a week. The breakdown will be approximately 80/20. This may end up being some weeks more remote and some weeks more onsite; it will change with program needs.
Travel:
Estimated at 5% only (domestic)
Clearance:
Interim Clearance is sufficient for the start of this position.
Interview process:
Initial pre-screen with hiring manager. If candidate advances, next round of interviews will be with the Group Leaders and Technical Staff Team.
