BAE Systems is soliciting applicants for potential billets supporting the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Carderock Division, Detachment located in Kitsap County WA. These billets are contingent upon a successful compete and contract award which is expected in late December.
We are seeking a Senior Investigative Scientist to conduct studies and perform analytical investigations as part of a large technical effort involving engineers, scientists, and acoustic experts working on submarine and surface ship signature silencing programs (primarily acoustics) including (but not limited to): ocean engineering support, signature measurement; data acquisition and system development support; submarine and surface ship signature data measurement and analysis; and support for ship signatures and mines programs. Specific support will include submarine and surface ship signature measurement trials; development of trial documentation and test plans prior to at-sea periods; the assessment and improvement of current measurement procedures and systems improvement; support for signature trials and special trials and other related studies; the assessment of signature measurement systems; and support for data collection, reduction, analysis, reporting of submarine and surface ship trials data.
The ideal candidate(s) will possess a comprehensive understanding of, and a history of working with, advanced signal processing techniques, acoustics theory, and measurements of physical structures. Also desired is demonstrated experience in the interfacing of hardware and the development of software for real time acquisition and analysis of acoustic data from ships and submarines and underwater tracking systems; or for command and control and information management systems. This includes a working knowledge of operating systems Windows NT and HPUX, and software development using Assembly, Visual Basic, Labview, and C. Individuals will have an established track record of project management of system development and integration plus demonstrated task completion of software module development (at least 50,000 lines of code) in support of system development and integration for signature data measurement and analysis systems.
Competitive candidates will also be able to show a demonstrated understanding of wave theory and how it relates to physical phenomena along with knowledge of physics associated with acoustic scattering phenomena, acoustic resonance, wave theory, and wave propagation. Also required is a familiarity with boundary value problems and their solutions, finite element and finite boundary methods, physical structures, and a demonstrated understanding of how theory relates to such structures.
Applicants must reside near, or be willing to relocate to, Kitsap County WA upon contract award. This position is classified as exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Some travel (up to 15% of the time) may be required.
Required:
1. Exclusive US Citizenship and ability to obtain a Secret clearance immediately upon hire.
2. Masters Degree in Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering, plus 15 years experience in advanced signal processing techniques, acoustic theory, and measurements of physical structures.
Preferred:
1. Active Secret or above clearance.
2. Eligible for access to TS SCI information.
3. PhD in Physics, Mathematics, or Engineering, plus 15 years experience in surface ship and submarine silencing.
