Location: Lexington, MA, US
Company: MIT Lincoln Laboratory
The Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems and Architectures Group performs analysis to develop future concepts and architectures for executing the most challenging missions of the Department of Defense (DoD). Studies within the group cover a broad range of technical areas including advanced sensor systems, new platforms, communications, navigation solutions, and data exploitation approaches. The group works directly with DoD senior leadership to understand their needs and briefs leadership regularly to inform future technology investments. Concepts developed within the group can lead to data collections, engineering design studies, technology development, and prototyping projects within MIT Lincoln Laboratory.
Position Description
The Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems and Architectures Group is seeking a Systems Analyst at the Associate Staff level to conduct mission-based performance assessments of future Department of Defense (DoD) systems and architectures.
The candidate will work on systems analysis studies of key DoD missions, planned DoD capabilities, and new technologies. This requires the development of physics and engineering-based models of these systems in various programming languages, with an emphasis on MATLAB. The successful candidate will have the ability to understand a wide array of technologies related to sensors, aircraft, satellites, communication systems, navigation, and data exploitation. The candidate isn’t expected to have previous experience in these areas, but should have the technical background sufficient to learn them. Activities involve systems analysis, data analysis, physics-based modeling, software simulation, and engineering design, while working as a member of a small technical team.
Requirements
Master’s degree in Physics, Mathematics, Aeronautics/Astronautics, Engineering, or a related technical field. A minimum GPA of 3.5 is desired.
Desired Skills: The principal skills required are the ability to quickly learn new technical areas and apply that knowledge effectively to solve challenging mission problems. Excellent communication skills, including the ability to clearly present technical concepts to a wide spectrum of audiences, are also desired.
