QinetiQ US is seeking to solve complex technical challenges in Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) systems as part of the Airspace and Surface Radar Reconnaissance (ASRR) system
Requirements
- Comprehensive understanding of ISR system design, collection techniques, processing algorithms, and operational limitations
- Expertise in multi-sensor integration, data fusion techniques, and cross-cueing between different intelligence collection modalities
- Experience with electro-optical/infrared sensors, synthetic aperture radar, moving target indicators, and other ISR sensor technologies
- Understanding of intelligence requirements, collection management, and intelligence product dissemination
- Applied experience with systems engineering lifecycle management tools (Innoslate MBSE, Cameo Magic Draw, DOORS Next, or equivalent)
- Familiarity with military standards (MIL-STD, MIL-PRF) and ISR-specific compliance requirements
- Experience with contractor technical review processes and deliverable evaluation methodologies for classified systems
Responsibilities
- Serve as the lead technical point of contact with the ISR subcontractor for all Integrated Product Team (IPT) matters
- Review and assess contractor deliverables including ISR system architectures, sensor integration designs, data processing algorithms, Interface Control Documents (ICDs), test plans, test results, and technical documentation
- Question contractor approaches, assumptions, and deliverables using deep ISR expertise to identify potential issues other team members cannot assess
- Identify technical risks in contractor proposals and work products that may impact ASRR ISR performance, cost, schedule, or intelligence collection effectiveness
- Serve as the internal technical authority on ISR systems, providing guidance to program management and engineering teams lacking specialized intelligence collection and surveillance knowledge
- Participate in Technical Interchange Meetings (TIMs) representing the prime contractor's technical position on ISR subsystem and component matters
- Evaluate contractor-provided ISR documentation for technical accuracy, completeness, and compliance with contract requirements
Other
- Must be eligible for U.S. government security clearance (Secret minimum) or possess current clearance
- Limited travel required for contractor site visits and technical reviews
- Ability to make objective technical assessments independent of contractor influence or program pressure
- Prior experience with Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contracts and international ISR programs highly desirable
- Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related STEM field
