Job Description

Job Description

Type: Full-Time

Location: Huntsville, Alabama

Position Description:

Phased n Research is looking for a highly motivated Radar Model Independent Verification and Validation Analyst. This team performs Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) on radar and missile simulation products that are capable of modeling system algorithms as well as low-power emissions at full RF. Tasks include compiling technical assessments and specifications from source material, creating and cataloging testable IV&V requirements, designing and building test scenarios, sampling and analyzing waveform emissions, analyzing scenario output, and documenting tests results with analysis outputs and compiled results. Workflow involves regular communication and coordination with the product development team and the customer.

Job Duties include:

• Tasks include compiling technical assessments and specifications from source material,
• creating and cataloging testable IV&V requirements,
• designing and building test scenarios,
• sampling and analyzing waveform emissions,
• analyzing scenario output,
• and documenting tests results with analysis outputs and compiled results.
• Workflow involves regular communication and coordination with the product development team and the customer.

Required Skill and Experience:

• Strong ability to investigate, problem-solve, and document a variety of technical problems, semi or fully independently with minimal reach-back support
• Good ability to read, write, and troubleshoot tools developed using common scripting languages
• Python, MATLAB, etc.
• Ability to rapidly digest technical resources including flow diagrams, tabulated information, and extract technical specifications
• Good understanding of radar and/or missile or similar system test and evaluation (T&E) or verification and validation (V&V) process
• Scenario development - design of experiments (DOE)
• Data processing and analysis
• Good understanding of measurement and statistical methods
• Documentation (reports and supporting materials, MS Office)
• Ability to work in a dynamic, sometimes rapidly changing environment on a small team

Desired Qualifications:

• Strong coding skills in one or more scripting languages such as Python (preferred) or MATLAB
• Ability to quickly generate analysis solutions for unique test-cases, large data, and requiring robust assessment (algorithmic) confidence
  • An eye for clear and concise data visualization techniques
  • Strong understanding of general radar functionality and common algorithm flow including search, track, waveform selection concepts, etc.
• Strong understanding of electronic warfare (EW) and electronic protection (EP) concepts and techniques
• Experience using RF test instrumentation (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, etc.)

Clearance:

• Active Secret clearance required; ability to obtain Top Secret/SCI
