Description
Are you passionate about embracing challenges and deploying solutions?
In the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) Group, we engineer solutions from concept design to field deployment for our broad set of government sponsors on rapid timelines. Our projects encompass a variety of domains (air, land, and sea) and technologies (passive sensing, imaging, communications, sonar, radar, etc.) for applications ranging from autonomous low power devices to uncrewed vehicles. Project teams are small and multidisciplinary - all staff members have ownership over their work and collaborate closely across electrical, mechanical, and software design. Our senior staff are dedicated to mentoring junior staff to become engineers who can handle a wide variety of technical challenges. If you want to develop your creative abilities, take ownership of your projects, and see them from concept through delivery, come work with us at APL in the KMR Group.
We are seeking a Senior Maritime Systems Engineer that will primarily support the Maritime ISR Program developing our nation's next generation of maritime prototype systems. You will work with a small team of engineers and scientists on multiple concurrent projects to collect, analyze, document and monitor requirements that fuel the engineering development cycle. This role will ensure that the final system delivered to the sponsor meets all critical requirements necessary to effectively conduct its mission.
