Chantilly, VA (On/Off-Site)
Security Clearance: Active TS/SCI with CI Polygraph Required
Position
The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is the U.S. Government agency in charge of designing, building, launching, and maintaining America’s intelligence satellites.
Develop. Acquire. Launch. Operate.
Apogee's ideal Radar Sensor Systems Engineer will provide Systems Engineering Technical Advisor (SETA) support in the Space Remote Sensing Domain. The program is responsible for coordinating, integrating, and executing all necessary modeling, simulations, and technical analysis to deliver recommendations and technical assistance in support of the customer mission. The successful candidate will conduct and lead Radar analyses and Product Quality test activities to support recommendations related to the insertion of new RADAR technology and assist the development of sensor models for new data collection systems and methods. If you live and breathe Radar Sensor Systems Engineering, then you'll love Apogee and this position!
What You'll Do
Sensor modeling including development and analysis of payload performance tables
Algorithm assessment to quantify product performance for desired mission applications
Baseline assessment of system performance to support sensor initialization
Regression analysis and evaluations of delivered operational capabilities
Development, preparation, and execution of comprehensive test & evaluation plans, procedures and
schedules which verify and validate enterprise capabilities, system requirements, performance, and operability
Readiness for system integration, test, evaluation, and transition activities
Analysis and performance requirement verification of new capabilities and emerging systems
Required
Bachelor of Science with 10-12 yrs of experience; Master of Science, 8-10yrs; PhD with 5-7 yrs of experience
Experience working with GEOINT Radar imaging systems, sensors, and/or data
Familiarity with current GEOINT systems and products will be necessary to develop, assess, and execute test and verification methodologies
Experience in Radar Image Science (Phenomenology, Sensor technology, Image Processing, Product Quality)
Understanding and application of image quality standards, scales, metrics, and image quality equations
Applied knowledge of sensor imaging systems, products, and exploitation processes
Understanding of the systems engineering lifecycle to include independent testing and data verification
Excellent communicator
Proven team leader with experience mentoring a team while delivering individual technical responsibilities
Experienced problem solver performing in a dynamic work environment
Desired
Degree in Image Science, Electrical Engineering, or Physics
Understanding of the GEOINT enterprise TCPED process
Experience working in a DoD or IC operational environment
Experience working on Product Initialization teams
Experience developing engineering code (e.g. C, Python, Matlab, IDL) to solve hard problems and create processes for repeatable results
