Systems Engineer - Air to Ground with Security Clearance

nsight Global is hiring Systems Engineer (Air-to-Ground) to join our organization. In this role, you will have the opportunity to join a team to solve problems in the field and drive new solutions into next generation systems across a wide variety of platforms and environments. You will support the Systems Engineering Integration and Test (SEIT) team on multiple major development programs. This position is based out of Linthicum, MD and will be 100% on-site.

What You'll get to Do

Lead development of radar system architectures for air to ground missions, ensuring alignment with platform and mission needs (e.g., SAR, ISAR, GMTI/T, Targeting, Weather, Surface Return, Sea Surface Search, Ship Track, etc.). Define and partition system level requirements, performance budgets, and interfaces across RF, processing, software, and platform teams. Direct and review trade studies on waveforms, antenna design, processing architectures, and CONOPS/mission scenarios.

Lead radar performance modeling and simulation (end to end link budgets, coverage, detection/tracking performance, clutter and interference analysis). Guide development and evaluation of Air-to-Ground concepts and algorithms from a systems perspective. Make data driven recommendations and decisions to optimize performance, cost, schedule, and technical risk. Define verification strategies and test architectures from lab through flight test for new and evolved radar capabilities.

Oversee integration and test campaigns, including test planning, execution oversight, data analysis, and discrepancy resolution. Drive root cause investigations and corrective actions for complex system level issues. Represent the radar system engineering team in technical reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR) and risk/issue boards. Interface directly with customers to present technical approaches, performance results, and roadmaps. Support business development, including capture strategy, concept development, and proposal technical volumes/BOEs.

Mentor early and mid career engineers in radar systems engineering best practices. Promote rigorous engineering discipline, configuration control, and requirements traceability. REQUIRED SKILLS AND EXPERIENCE

• Bachelors degree with 12 years of experience, Master's degree with 10 years of experience or Ph. D. with 8 years of experience in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or related technical fields; an additional 4 years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree
