Job Description

Description

Do you love to characterize and solve complex system or system of system problems for which there isn't a textbook solution?

 

Are you passionate about developing game changing defensive capabilities that can deter our adversaries from attacking?

 

If you are graduating with a degree in Engineering (e.g. Electrical, Software, Systems, Aero), Computer Science, Math, or Physics, and you are into modeling, simulation and analysis, then we'd love to have you join our team of motivated problem solvers! We are seeking a wide range of talented individuals who want to work in a collaborative, inclusive team environment to help us:

• Create sophisticated simulations of current and future Naval capabilities, adversarial threat systems (e.g., missiles, swarms of autonomous platforms) to pair with machine learning technologies in order to develop robust solutions to transform systemic weaknesses into strengths
• Develop complex analysis tools and use them to evaluate the performance of new Navy systems or system of system capabilities
• Perform early research into promising technology that pushes the art and the science of defense.

 

As a member of our multi-disciplinary team you can follow your passion to ...

• Develop dynamic, interacting physics-based models/simulations to help us understand how mother nature and the laws of physics can impact the performance of key sensor, command and control, and weapon systems.
• Develop tools that apply data analytic and statistical methodologies and use them to analyze current systems, root cause performance issues, and develop operational solutions.
• Mature cutting edge concepts or technologies that lead to improving our Navy's ability to maintain superior situational awareness in the fog of war, identify blatant and subtle hostile actions, and dynamically allocate limited resources in a changing battlefield.

Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...

 

• Have a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering(e.g. Electrical, Software, Systems, Aero), Computer Science, Math, or Physics or a related technical field.

• Have a meaningful technical experience as demonstrated in at least one internship, research experience or opportunity outside of the classroom

• Have detailed knowledge with two of the following Python, C++, Matlab, 

• Have practical experience in modeling and simulation design, signal processing related to radar or communications systems, decision processes, resource optimization and allocation schema, or Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE)

• Have demonstrated strong interpersonal and communications skills

• Are able to obtain at least a Secret level security clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

• Can demonstrate that you are fully vaccinated against COVID-19. To ensure the safety and well-being of the community, APL has established a policy requiring that all staff be vaccinated against COVID-19. All staff members must provide proof of full vaccination or have an approved medical or religious accommodation by their start date.

 

You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...

• Have experience with either modeling or analyzing a complex system (military system preferred)

• Have experience with processing, organizing and assessing large data sets

• Have experience developing in a modern software development environment
