Description

Model-Based Systems Engineer - ACL

Submit Resume ID: 497561 Type: Researchers Location: Atlanta, GA Categories: System Engineering

Project/Unit Description

GTRI's Signals and Systems Division (SASD) in the Advanced Concepts Laboratory seeks qualified candidates for the position of a Model Based Systems Engineer. This position involves applying model based systems engineering (MBSE) to challenging real-world problems related to national defense.

The candidate will apply MBSE concepts to a variety of different national defense projects, often focused on the defense technologies of the future. The candidate will work in and sometimes lead an interdisciplinary team with modeling and simulation engineers, operations analysts, people with experience in military or intelligence operations and analysis, physicists, mathematicians, and people from government organizations, other universities, or industry partners.

SASD consists of a staff of research professionals engaged in a portfolio of research related to next-generation aerospace technology analysis and innovation, including RF/EO/IR sensor physics, signal processing algorithms and techniques, EM maneuver warfare, effects-based modeling and simulation, verification and validation, advanced threat analysis, and operations research/developmental planning. ACL develops tailored solutions for a broad range of national security challenges through disciplined application of physics- and effects-based modeling to realizable systems, augmented with prototype development and testing. ACL's research thrusts extend across domains, and include bio-, chemical-, RF-, and optical-sensor physics; materials science and engineering; electromagnetic theory, computation, structures, and measurements; electronic warfare techniques and applications; operational scenario modeling and simulation; traditional and asymmetric threat analysis; and ground maneuver warfare.
