Imagine Next! At Parsons, you can imagine a career where you thrive, work with exceptional people, and be yourself. Guided by our leadership vision of valuing people, embracing agility, and fostering growth, we cultivate an innovative culture that empowers you to achieve your full potential. Unleash your talent and redefine what's possible., Ready for a challenge as a data and performance analyst that will let you influence the evaluation and modernization of the next generation of radar systems? We are seeking a detail-oriented, highly analytical candidate to join a radar scient and technology evaluation team. As part of this team, you will work closely with radar subject matter experts, systems engineers, and government stakeholders to evaluate complex sensor data products, characterize multi-system performance, and uncover critical performance trends against key operational metrics. In this role, you will dive deeply into underlying telemetry and radar tracking data to understand how complex systems acquire targets, maintain track files, and generate target solutions. You will leverage MATLAB and Microsoft Excel to process, aggregate, and analyze multi-source data feeds, translating raw technical data into meaningful performance insights. An essential part of your work will involve synthesizing technical findings into executive-level briefing decks and presentations, communicating results clearly to cross-functional engineering teams, leadership, and external stakeholders. What You'll Be Doing: * Ingest, parse, and evaluate structured data products generated from multiple radar and sensor systems using MATLAB and advanced Microsoft Excel models. * Establish, maintain, and report on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as track initiation timelines, track continuity, false alarm/track ratios, positional accuracy, and solution generation metrics. * Conduct exploratory data analysis and trend evaluation across varied test configurations, operational scenarios, and environmental conditions to identify system performance anomalies and degradation patterns. * Develop an in-depth understanding of underlying radar operating principles, signal/data processing pipelines, target tracking algorithms, and kinematic solution generation logic. * Dive deep into raw telemetry and low-level data streams to investigate root causes of unexpected track behavior or discrepancies between expected and observed performance. * Organize, maintain, and document test datasets, analytical scripts, data parsing routines, and standard performance metrics reporting workflows. * Collaborate closely with radar subject matter experts, systems engineers, and government stakeholders to identify promising areas for system refinement and performance optimization. * Synthesize complex numerical data into clear, visually compelling graphical reports and PowerPoint presentations. * Present analytical findings, trends, and actionable recommendations in regular briefings to team members, project managers, and mission stakeholders. ## Related Videos - [Cyber Sleuth: Finding Hidden Connections in Cyber Data](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/893-cyber-sleuth-finding-hidden-connections-in-cyber-data) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Advanced Typing in TypeScript](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/496-advanced-typing-in-typescript) - [Vectorize all the things!
