Job Description:
Parsons is seeking a talented Principal-Level RF Modeling and Simulation Engineer to join a diverse team supporting the Integrated Threat Analysis and Simulation Environment (ITASE) program.
ITASE provides a critical role in our nation’s defense by bringing together intelligence-backed, medium-to-high fidelity threat system models developed across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise into an integrated wargame simulation environment. Parsons has supported this program for over ten years, with an established team and excellent customer relationships. Because the need for accurate and integrated modeling, simulation and analysis continues to grow, we are expanding our team to adapt to new challenges.
Why this job is exciting:
Work that matters – providing modeling solutions that allow the intelligence community to answer warfighter questions accurately add quickly; assist in costly evaluations of the acquisition community, and provide analysis to military and government decision-makers
New challenges every day – working in an environment that integrates threat models will give you wide exposure to emerging defense technologies from ground to surface to space to cyber
Competitive Pay/Benefits and a company that knows its employees are the priority
Ability to sponsor and upgrade security clearances
In this role, you will provide subject matter expertise in RF and communications and lead a team of engineers and computer scientists developing software models of threat weapon systems that capture the capabilities and limitations of the actual systems modeled. You will work closely with Systems Engineers, Senior M&S Engineers, and the ITASE Chief Engineer to define requirements, design and develop RF system models and algorithms, identify gaps in existing RF techniques and recommend, design, and develop enhancements to advance RF and communications modeling in ITASE. You will support regular reviews with the government customer through system requirements review (SRR), proposed design review (PDR), critical design review (CDR), and regular in-process reviews (IPRs). Our team develops and integrates a variety of weapon system models, including electronic warfare systems, communication systems, radar systems, command and control systems, surface-to-air missile systems, gun-based defense systems as well as mobile ground and air platforms.
Engineering tasks may include 1) RF hardware characterization; 2) software reverse engineering of RF signal processing; 3) system-level characterization of RF systems; 4) subsystem and system-level modeling and simulation derived from all-source intelligence data; 5) integration of system models into engagement-level and mission-level systems-of-systems (SoS) simulations; 6) development and/or integration of high-fidelity propagation effects such as terrain masking, refraction, and over-the-horizon propagation; 7) automated unit, system and SoS test planning, development and execution; support of small and large-scale simulation studies, and 8) support of small and large-scale simulation studies.
Other Responsibilities include:
Defining requirements and designing solutions for modeling and simulation software.
Tracking filter design and development
