Related technical experience may be considered in lieu of education. Degree must be from a university, college, or school which is accredited by an agency recognized by the US Secretary of Education, US Department of Education. * A current, active Top Secret security clearance is required with the ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI Polygraph. * Excellent communication skills are essential, including the ability to understand the team's needs, ask insightful questions, and provide clear communication of proposed solutions. * Flexibility and capacity to work on multiple dynamic problems simultaneously., * Familiarity in remote sensing missions, payload design, component hardware technologies, calibration sources, calibration techniques, and uncertainty analysis. * Experience in data analysis, signal processing, and algorithm development. * Experience working with DoW and/or IC technical support contractors and program technical representatives. * Experience as a technical lead on RF sensing payloads, architectures, and development programs. * Familiarity in computer application skills, such as Python, Matlab, CAMEO, DOORS, and other analytical tools. ## Description The Engineering, Science and Analysis (ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery of high-impact discriminating technologies for our customers' missions. Our collaborative, cross-functional teams are committed to innovation, integrity, continual learning and strong execution. What You'll Do: * Create and implement RF payload calibration approaches including integrated calibration sources, roll-ups of lower-level test data, bias correction, and in-situ calibration techniques and support payload architecture development. * Evaluate RF payload performance requirements and generate calibration approaches to enable the related design, build, test, verification, and validation activities. * Develop and utilize expertise in RF sensing missions, payload design, component hardware technologies, calibration techniques, and uncertainty analysis. * Support activities surrounding pursuit and execution of pathfinder, payload technology, and mission-level opportunities within the RF sensing mission area. * Create and manage physics-based calibration models, error budgets, and bias corrections * Responsible for communicating with Architecture & Design, Modeling & Analysis, CONOPS, System Traceability, Integration & Test, and Mission Operations teams as necessary to ensure the calibration approach closes. * Collaborate with other engineering disciplines (systems, mechanical, electrical, software, test, etc.) in the planning and execution of calibration tasks. * Contribute to the decomposition and allocation of RF payload requirements to lower-level specifications. Refine requirements as necessary. * Be a payload calibration lead and interface and support its chief engineer and chief systems engineer. * Work alongside AI&T engineers to support the test configurations, verification approaches, and analysis plans necessary for payload verification. * Prepare and deliver presentations to peers, management, and/or customers, as required. * Support program gates such as the System Requirements Review (SRR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), Test Readiness Review (TRR), and payload sell-off. * Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule. * Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment. * Perform other duties as necessary. On-Site Work Environment: This position requires regular in-person engagement by working on-site five days each normally scheduled week in the primary work location. Travel and local commute between company campuses and other possible non-company locations may be required. ## Related Videos - [Robots are coming into the wild!
