Systems Engineer, M&S Analysis & Algo - GMD Weapons Systems (GWS)

What We're Doing
Become a part of something IMPACT-ful! Ground Missile Defense (GMD) is the heart of the Missile Defense System and a key element of our nations defense against ballistic missile attacks.

The GMD Weapon System (GWS) processes data from multiple sensors to identify and characterize the inbound ballistic missile threat, plans the best defensive solution, and launches the intercepting missiles to negate the threat.

The Work
As a member of an Agile Scrum team performing Algorithm development and Analysis for the GMD Weapon System (GWS) Fire Control (GFC) product, you will be part of the team that develops new algorithms, improves old algorithms, and assesses the effectiveness and performance of them in the context of the GFC software (currently ~1.5 million lines of code) that controls the missile defense system that protects the United States from intercontinental ballistic missile attack. The selected Systems Engineer will work in a collaborative environment to understand, implement, and assess new capabilities and algorithms. These are mathematics and physics based complex solutions that are critical to the performance of Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) mission.
