The Systems Engineer - Missile Defense joins the Space Ground Systems Engineering team to solve mathematical, physical, and algorithmic problems for next-generation missile defense and fire control systems. This role involves bridging systems engineering and applied physics to design track-fusion pipelines, build threat-assignment algorithms, and conduct deep sensitivity analyses. You will formulate solutions for object detection, tracking, and discrimination while performing weapon-target assignment and fire control scheduling. The position requires proficiency in applied math, physics, and algorithm development using Python and C++. You will also utilize Windows, Linux, and MATLAB to translate equations into functional code for modeling and simulation. The work focuses on fusing real-time sensor streams into track data and optimizing weapon-target assignment under uncertainty within complex mission systems architectures.
What does a Systems Engineer earn?
Median $160000 from 251 postings across 41 companies.
