Job description
from Johns Hopkins APL careersAre you looking for impactful opportunities to help defend the United States, our armed forces, and our allies from all forms of air and missile threats?
Are you detail oriented, like to figure out how to make things better, enjoy writing high-level (e.g., Matlab) code to simulate real-world systems, and are looking for a high-tempo and team-oriented environment?
If you are graduating with a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Engineering Physics, Physics, Mathematics, or similar degrees and want to work in an exciting environment to solve challenging technical national security problems, we'd love to have you join our team.
We are seeking innovative and talented technical graduates to join our Multi-Domain System Concepts Group to conduct simulation and analysis, identify defensive systems gaps, and develop new system concepts to improve defensive capabilities for the U.S. You would apply math, engineering, and physics knowledge to implement models and simulations of real-world and future systems, then analyze those sensors, battle management and communications systems, and kinetic and non-kinetic defensive systems. You would develop skills in analysis, algorithm development, optimization, and modeling and simulation of a wide variety of U.S. Missile Defense, Armed Forces, and Space systems.
As a member of our team...
