Overnight Tactical Operator Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary

The UEWR Radar System Analyst holds overall technical responsibility for reducing and analyzing track data for AN/FPS-132 radar/computer systems' performance, evaluates tactical files for anomalies, and refines operational procedures to ensure continuous mission readiness. Is the direct supervisor of the Radar and Computer work centers. Managing maintenance tasks and scheduling.

Essential Duties and Resposibilities:

System Analysis & Monitoring:

• The Analyst responds to requests to investigate system performance, false Launch & Predicted Impact messages, abnormal uncorrelated target rates (UCT), Category-1 satellite misses, and electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• Monitors radar systems and tactical files (space track catalog, tasking file, site penetration files) for corruption, abnormal data, or overflow.
• Analyzes hardware diagnostics to determine anomalies for troubleshooting.

Data & Trajectory Analysis: 

• Utilizes digital simulation tools, original programming, and software (Matlab, Mathematica, soft tools and resources) to perform data reduction, manipulate data, and report trends. Provides trajectory analysis and insight to the customer for characterization of object information.
• Develops mathematical algorithms for array signal processing, performance predictions, and radar return analysis.
• Execute root-cause analyses on software/hardware performance anomalies, and provide corrective action recommendations related to radar tracking, target discrimination, computing loads, processing thresholds, and engagement timelines.

Testing & Maintenance

• Recommends system modifications to maintain radar/computer system performance within specifications.
• Executes test plans for Operational Test and Evaluation (QOT&E) of mission software.
• Evaluates software versions for anomalies/degradation. Maintains site internal calibration satellite lists and simulation media inventory

Reporting & Documentation:

• Documents unique system events via Problem Reports and Standard Change Forms (SCF). Provides technical input for the site Operations Approval Review Board, ranking SCFs based on criticality. Writes Hardware Modification requests. Documents analytical results in formal presentations and maintains the official system documentation library.
• Operational Support
• Provides general liaison and support to USAF agencies and contractors. Develops and refines checklists for site radar and MMCO personnel. Supports the system via on-call duties outside of normal working hours and performs other analysis duties as directed.

Education/Training Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in computer science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field. (Note: Additional years of experience and formal education in analysis of warning radars can be substituted for the degree requirement).
• Currently hold or be able to obtain and maintain the proper US DoD issued security clearance, which requires US Citizenship. Security clearance eligibility may be discussed during the interview phase.
• Employment and start date is contingent upon the candidate receiving the required US DoD issued interim security clearance

Required Skills/Experience:

• 3 years of experience in systems analysis/engineering with UEWR/EWR systems or 5 years of system analysis/engineering experience on integrated radar systems.
• Thorough understanding of radar design, performance, and simulations in large complex systems. Knowledge of Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS) concepts. Familiarity with one or more radars such as Cobra Dane, UEWR, or SBX (Desired); AN/FPS-115, 123, or 132 systems engineering/analysis (Highly Desired).
• Strong background in orbital mechanics, radar analysis and Phased Array Radar principles, synthetic aperture radar mapping, signal processing concepts, and radar search/track.
• UNIX, Red Hat Linux, IRIX, and Solaris operating systems. Knowledge of PAVE PAWS software (operating system, simulation, radar controller, signal processor).
• Perl, Python, Shell Scripting, Matlab, MATE, Mathematica, Satellite Tool Kit (STK), and Missile Conversion Tool (MCT). Experience C++, JOVIAL, and COMPASS programming languages is highly desirable.

Work Environment:

• Data center environment. May require working extended hours, weekends, or overnight travel. Requires on-call support outside of normal working hours

Physical Demands:

• Exerts limited physical energy. May have to handle 20-30 pound loads on occasion.

Other Skills and Abilities

• Possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, ability to explain complex analytical results to both technical and non-technical personnel
