Job description


SAIC is seeking a Radar Phenomenology Engineer to join the National Security and Space Sector (NSS). You would work on a joint Intelligence Community (IC) and Department of Defense (DoD) crown jewel program providing highly specialized space/counter-space engineering, scientific, and analytical services from Aurora, Colorado. We support the Nation's leading-edge IC and DoD space programs and offer compelling, deep-technical work that has direct influence and impact on program development and operations. Our team has Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) across a variety of disciplines, including physics, math, RF, optics, space acquisition and operations, and intelligence collection and analysis. 


This Radar Phenomenology Engineer will work in a collaborative team-focused environment of U.S. Government civilians and contractors solving applied technical problems and developing usable solutions for multiple space-related capabilities and threats. The ideal candidate will: 


   Have the ability to conceptualize, synthesize, analyze, and assess the performance of ground and space-based radar systems, radar phenomenology, target signatures, and radar signal processing techniques 
    Be motivated by problem solving and development of the range of solutions, over system development   
    Have experience with IC and/or DoD space system development, acquisition, or operations 
    Understand the technical and operational concepts of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems and inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) 
    Familiarity with evaluating and using vendor-provided modeling products from tools such as HFSS, CST, and X-Patch 

Duties and responsibilities include: 


    Conducting specialized technical studies related to radar systems, targets, and data products to provide assessments and actionable solutions for program managers or satellite owner/operators 
    Leading and participating in complex physics-based modeling, simulation and analysis, and conducting technical trades 
    Developing and maintaining in-depth knowledge of U.S. national security space, foreign space, counter-space threats, and space surveillance and identification 
    Participating in and representing the customer in various Government and contractor meetings and attending contractor programmatic and technical reviews (e.g. PMR, PDR, CDR, etc.) to provide technical recommendations and risk assessments 
    Frequently interacting with program managers, SETAs, FFRDCs and external stakeholders 
    Developing productive relationships with the Program Office, Prime, and Subcontract counterparts, functional IC or DoD counterparts, and other SMEs 
    Repeated use and application of technical standards, principles, theories, concepts and techniques
