Job description
Peraton is searching for a Systems Engineer in the role of Mission Support Threat Engineer, to support the Threat Products and Services (TPS) organization, responsible for the development and delivery of high-fidelity threat modeling products in support of the Missile Defense Agency and its Missile Defense Systems (MDS).
The Mission Support Threat Engineer role serves as a missile threat specialist, threat model developer, and threat model verifier and validator of threat representations across the kinematic, RF, and IR signature domains. The EO/IR Hardbody Modeling tools simulate all phases of flight, and enhancements are developed to respond to changing Missile Defense System requirements and evolving threat characteristics. This specialized position requires a detail-oriented mid-level engineer responsible for capturing and documenting requirements as they pertain to the infrared signature representation of a missile as well as developing infrared hard body missile threat models for use in a variety of modeling and simulation tools/frameworks/media.
The ideal candidate will have a good understanding of:
- Modeling and simulation methods and processes
- Must be well-versed with infrared signature concepts and physics behind hard body heating and how they affect infrared intensities
- The IR Hard Body-focused Mission Support Threat Engineer will be involved in direct discussions and collaborations with our customers, threat stakeholders, intelligence analysts, and fellow engineers, at a technical level, capturing requirements necessary for developing and delivering accurate and relevant threat models
- The selected individual must be able to work with little or no direct supervision, work as an integral member of a product delivery team and meet time critical delivery schedules
- Provides software engineering, technical, and managerial direction for problem definition, analysis, requirement development and implementation for complex systems in the engineering discipline required to meet technical requirements
- Makes recommendations and advises on system development, improvements, optimization, or support efforts
- Performs risk assessments and analysis employing modeling and simulation techniques
This role requires candidates to be on-site daily with no option for remote/hybrid work.
Required Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s degree in a STEM discipline, 5+ years related experience; 3+ Years with Masters; 0+ Years with PhD; 9 years+ HS/GED
- Demonstrates hands-on experience with Modeling & Simulation, RF and/or EO/IR systems, engineering for aerospace systems, or direct involvement with Missile Defense Systems, Radars, and Physics-based engineering related to IR, flight profiles, and signatures
- Modeling, Simulation, and automation experience
- Previous experience modeling or simulating signature profiles and responses in the IR signature and RF domains
- Familiarity with the flight characteristics, motion, and performance of missile systems
- Familiarity with hard body heating of objects and their corresponding signature representation
- Must be self-motivated, able to work in a dynamic team environment
- Must already possess an active DoD Secret clearance in order to start work
Desired Qualifications:
- Strong math, physics or engineering background is highly preferred
- Previous experience with analyzing flight characteristics, motion, atmospheric dynamics, and missile performance parameters of ballistic missiles is highly desirable
- Strong background in missile systems engineering principles or performance is highly desirable
- Mastery of engineering modeling principles behind body motion, trajectory analysis, counter measures, debris, and signature modeling is a plus
