System Engineering and Analysis

Develop mathematical models for system-level evaluation and parametric definition. Develop and conduct experiments with prototype components, subsystems, and total systems.

Operations Research

Participate as a technical team member to understand the aspects of an operational community, conduct analyses, interpret results, and develop recommendations. Conduct mission related analysis and research activities.

Required qualifications

* BS, MS, or PhD in applied math, applied physics, engineering physics, or related field.
* GPA of 3.0 or higher (on 4.0 scale).
* Less than one year of full-time professional experience.
* U.S. citizenship will be required for most positions. Because government security clearance is required for most positions, selected applicants must meet eligibility requirements, which include U.S. citizenship.
