Senior-Level Radar Threat Systems Engineer - Aviation & Missile Solutions

AMS is seeking a talented Software Engineer to join a diverse team, in Huntsville, AL., to create unique solutions for complex problems. AMS provides responsive, cost-effective engineering and scientific solutions ranging from air and missile defense technologies, command and control, radar systems, seekers, modeling & simulation, and prototype hardware development and testing.

The Engineer or Analyst in this role perform the following:

• All-source intelligence analysis of foreign threat systems with a focus on multi-function phased-array radars and surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems. Analysis efforts involve system performance assessments and design postulation of major subsystems including but not limited to phased array antennas, transmitters and receivers, radar signal processors and computer algorithms/logic.
• Threat system model development to match intelligence assessments, including waveform scheduling, correlation/tracking and signal processing.
• Write technical briefings, papers and reports to reflect intelligence analysis and assessments of foreign threat systems.
• Ensure foreign threat systems are accurately characterized and modeled in technical databases such as the Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming Database (EWIRDB).
