RESPONSIBILITIES
Develop and execute systems engineering plans supporting radar system design, integration, verification, and sustainment. Define, decompose, allocate, and manage system and subsystem requirements across hardware and software. Develop and maintain system specifications, requirements baselines, capability documents, and interface control documents. Assess the completeness, consistency, traceability, and technical compliance of system, subsystem, component, and interface requirements. Apply model-based systems engineering processes, methods, and tools to support system architecture, requirements management, design analysis, and technical decision-making. Perform radar system architecture, interoperability, and performance analyses. Develop engineering models and analytical tools to predict, assess, and verify radar-system performance. Support model verification, validation, and accreditation by evaluating model fidelity and comparing modeled results with system data. Participate in radar, combat-system, and platform integration activities. Support radar signal-processing engineering, including waveform development, clutter management, electronic protection, electromagnetic compatibility, and implementation of new processing techniques. Plan and support focused integration and test activities, analyze test data using MATLAB and laboratory tools, and document technical results. Prepare technical reports, engineering assessments, briefings, and recommendations for Government program managers and technical stakeholders. #
