About the Job

Requirements

  • Have earned a U.S. Navy designator, billet classification, or enlisted classification code related to surveillance systems and/or active sonar, or have a Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related technical field.
  • Have 8 or more years of relevant experience with sonar system operations, training, development, testing, or similar work.
  • Have participated in system test, delivery, and integration tests at sponsor or operational Navy sites.
  • Be able to obtain an interim Secret-level security clearance by the start date and ultimately obtain a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information-level clearance; eligibility requires U.S. citizenship.

Responsibilities

  • Work with system developers and analysis team members to conduct laboratory-based and at-sea assessments of functional and operational Maritime Surveillance Systems CLFA, LFA, and prototype Deployable Active Systems capabilities.
  • Ensure test scope, analysis methodology, appropriate measures of performance, and data required to execute analysis are comprehensive.
  • Apply surveillance-domain experience to develop new system display concepts, capabilities, and functions to improve system performance.
  • Research, investigate, and experiment with next-generation technologies and identify creative applications in unconventional ways.
  • Apply systems engineering expertise in support of future Maritime Surveillance Systems LFA, CLFA, and prototype Deployable Active Systems requirements and capability development to inform impending development direction.
  • Coordinate with analysts to contribute to the evaluation of fielded Maritime Surveillance Systems LFA, CLFA, and prototype Deployable Active Systems.
  • Liaise between JHU/APL, acquisition sponsors, and fleet operational commands to inform future development decisions, optimize operational utility, and support employment of Maritime Surveillance Systems LFA, CLFA, and prototype Deployable Active Systems.

Desired Qualifications

  • Possess a Master of Science degree in Mathematics, Science, or Engineering, or equivalent surveillance qualifications.
  • Have experience with U.S. Navy developmental and operational test and evaluation.
  • Have a strong background or previous experience in acoustics analysis.
  • Have experience operating active sonar systems or supporting their development.
  • Have 15 or more years of operational experience in Integrated Undersea Surveillance Systems.
  • Have experience conducting reconstruction and analysis of operational data.
  • Have led system design, integration, and/or test events at sponsor or operational Navy sites.
  • Have previous experience evaluating the performance of U.S. Navy surveillance systems.
  • Have an active Top Secret or higher-level clearance.

About the Company

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory

Not-for-profit UARC delivering national security research

Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) is a not-for-profit university-affiliated research center that provides solutions to complex national security and scientific challenges through technical expertise, prototyping, research and development, and analysis. It uses engineering, simulations, and studies to design prototypes and deliver analyses that support government and partner organizations. Unlike many commercial firms, APL operates as a non-profit affiliated with Johns Hopkins and focuses on mission-oriented research rather than selling finished products. Its goal is to provide practical, thoroughly tested solutions to public-sector customers by performing research, developing prototypes, and offering expert analysis.
