Description Are you passionate about using innovation and technology to solve critical technical challenges involving the defense of the US and her allies?Do you have experience with threat engineering, missile simulations, or the intelligence community?If so, we 're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL!The Applied Technologies and Threat Engineering Group at APL develops non-kinetic defensive strategies by combining a detailed understanding of threat systems (ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonic vehicles, and similar systems) with advanced technologies. We are seeking an innovative technical leader to join our team to analyze, characterize, and model adversarial threats, including ballistic missiles, maneuvering reentry vehicles (MaRVs), and hypersonic glide vehicles (HGVs). In this position you will develop foreign missile system characterizations and guide threat engineering efforts for the Department of Defense (DoD). Characterizations include system design, modeling flight capabilities, and scenario development of adversary capabilities.As a Senior Threat Systems Engineer ...Your primary responsibility will be to research, create, and present threat characterizations of advanced foreign systems to inform DoD efforts. To accomplish this, you will use threat in-house and commercially developed tools with representations of kinematics, guidance systems, control systems, and sensors. You will explore advanced technology and its effect on US current and future Ballistic Missile Defense Systems.You will lead teams to develop missile trajectories and define scenarios with threat modeling tools and will improve trajectory tools as needed.You will provide threat characterizations and representations to radar, interceptor missile, and combat system simulations.You will coordinate threat representations inside the laboratory and with external contractors and DoD sponsors.You will design, develop, and execute data development plans to ensure that threat characterizations (trajectory representations, signatures, and debris characterizations) are consistent with the best understanding of adversary capabilities.You will build and develop kinematic threat models to represent the span of current and future adversary missile capabilities.You will collaborate with the intelligence community to ensure a strong understanding of available information on foreign system capabilities.You will work with multi-disciplinary teams to perform end-to-end missile defense analysis to directly support the Warfighter.You will develop presentations and brief results of efforts to team members, management, and DoD sponsors.You will participate in and contribute to a team environment that involves personnel with various academic backgrounds and experience levels.
