Relevant experience *Must have prior leadership or management experience in higher-level roles *BS in an engineering discipline or a related field. *Current interim secret with a pathway to SCI. Desired: * Professional Engineer License (PE) for senior level * *MS Degree ## Description In support of the Joint Navigation Warfare Center (JNWC) contract, you will be a part of our team's efforts to empower the Department of Defense's navigation warfare (NAVWAR) mission ensuring positioning, navigation and timing superiority. Our mission is to provide combatant commanders and joint force commanders with subject matter expertise on planning and conducting NAVWAR by providing knowledge of friendly and enemy NAVWAR Order of Battle and PNT-related successes and threats. Responsibilities: *Modeling and Simulation SME provides executive-level insight to NAVWAR engineering support. *Provide research and development of multi-function small form factor payloads for completing NAVWAR-based missions. *Develop and analyze models of novel algorithmic concepts to produce distributed electronic sensing effects for NAVWAR payloads. *Utilize EW signal processing algorithms that enable threat detection and identification for employing countermeasures. *Develop systems to support GPS system hardening to prevent NAVWAR effects on blue force systems *Develop RF hardware and software solutions for integrating EW, Comms, and Radar missions into a small form factor payload. *Investigate heterogeneous sensing concepts across different platforms (i.e. manned and unmanned, high altitude ISR, ALE, etc.). Investigate sensing approaches with passive modes. *Design and implement testing of RF and other hardware portions of software defined radio frameworks *Reverse engineer existing NAVWAR signal processing solutions *Synthesize and allocate system requirements, and derive requirements to ensure the system architecture is fully defined, understood, and compliant to mission needs *Support development and implementation of client requirements for RF solutions including services, products, technologies and capabilities which encompass airborne mission environments. *Performs Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) testing on systems that can be impacted by denial/deception of PNT/GPS *Support technical reviews of vendor hardware and software products and deliverables, interface development and development of software algorithms and models for simulation. *Research of the state-of-the-art signal processing algorithms. *Work with customers (both internal and external to JNWC) to help integrate solutions into a wide variety of applications and use cases *Debug, test, and validate our capabilities using both unit tests as well as scenarios reported by the JNWC or JNWC Customers ## Related Videos - [Rethinking Intelligence: AI, Accessibility, and the Future of Inclusive Work - Artur Ortega](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1377-rethinking-intelligence-ai-accessibility-and-the-future-of-inclusive-work-artur-ortega) - [Perfect Pitch: Unveiling the Mathematical Symphony Behind a Guitar Tuner](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1095-perfect-pitch-unveiling-the-mathematical-symphony-behind-a-guitar-tuner) - [Are you still programming unit tests or already generating?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/722-are-you-still-programming-unit-tests-or-already-generating) - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) - [Building Systems that Last](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1389-building-systems-that-last) - [Cybersecurity for Software Defined Vehicles](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/725-cybersecurity-for-software-defined-vehicles) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Dev Digest 134 - Where pixels sing?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/477-dev-digest-134-where-pixels-sing) - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer)
