Position Description
Advanced Global Strike Systems, located in St. Louis, Missouri (MO), is seeking a proactive, mid-level Signature Integration Engineer with strong analytical, design, and integration skills for a special project. This position is responsible for design, analysis and integration of airframe design features such as edges, crew stations, control surfaces, outer moldline shaping and other surface features. Candidate must have a strong understanding of the fundamentals of radar cross section, its design techniques and develop solutions that are affordable, robust, supportable, and meet the needs of the next generation of air systems. Candidate must have a good understanding of design, materials and processes, structures, manufacturing, and supportability. Candidate must have a strong analytical/design background especially in using 2D and 3D Method-of-Moments (MOM), 3D Physical Optics/Physical Theory Diffraction (PO/PTD), and geometry/grid generation tools. The ability to use Boeing/Industry standard tools CARLOS, CADDSCAT, and Mr_Patches/Hypermesh is a plus. The ability to write/debug tools using MathCAD, Visual Studio, and/or FORTRAN is a plus. The ability to use Unigraphics NX4 or similar Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tool is required. Candidate must be able to lead/perform trade studies with multiple Integrated Product Teams (IPT) and work together to come up with an integrated solution. Candidate must have experience in indoor and outdoor Radar Cross Section (RCS) range testing of coupons, components, and systems. Candidate having experience with writing supplier Request for Information/Request for Procurement (RFI/RFP), coordinating/managing supplier tasks, and inspecting supplier products before delivery is a plus. Candidate should have the ability to communicate clearly and effectively in both written and verbal formats, as well as, present programmatic and technical briefings to communicate status, plans and issues to internal/external customers.

Establishes and maintains good working relationships by actively involving less experienced employees and/or other project team leaders and external customers and helping them feel valued, appreciated, and included in discussions. Places higher priority on team and organization goals than on own goals. Offers to provide assistance and/or project team leadership to other teams and/or employees when doing so would benefit the organization.
[ + ] Communication
Consistently clarifies purpose and importance; stresses major points; follows a logical sequence. Consistently keeps the audience thoroughly engaged through use of techniques such as analogies, illustrations, humor, an appealing style, body language, and voice inflection. Consistently frames even complex messages in line with audience experience, background, and expectations; uses terms, examples, and analogies that are meaningful to the audience. Consistently seeks input from audience; checks understanding; presents message in different ways to enhance understanding. Uses syntax, pace, volume, diction, and mechanics appropriate to the media being used; attends to both direct and indirect messages from others; correctly interprets messages and responds appropriately. Advises fellow project leads and other internal employees in effective communication techniques.
Technical
[ + ] Analytical Skills
Skill and ability to: collect, organize, synthesize, and analyze data; summarize findings; develop conclusions and recommendations from appropriate data sources with clients, customers and/or suppliers.
[ + ] EM Modeling and Analysis
Extensive and specialized knowledge of electromagnetic theory and advanced mathematics to develop and apply analytic tools to model and analyze electromagnetic aspects of systems and components. Knowledge of software development tools and techniques; numerical computation; model development; analysis techniques, processes, methods, and tools; optimization techniques; and post-processing and interpretation of resulting data.
[ + ] EM RCS & Antenna/Radome Test
Extensive and specialized knowledge of antenna, radome and Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurement techniques, associated test parameters, (such as antenna gain, polarization, frequency, bandwidth, pulse width, radar cross section levels) and limitations of each. Knowledge of test facility, instrumentation, and calibration techniques. Ability to apply knowledge of planning, directing, conducting and documenting radar cross section and antenna/radome testing as well as interpreting associated test results to validate and verify measurements. Ability to define test article. Knowledge of development, production, certification, qualification, quality assurance and acceptance testing of materials, products and processes including governing regulations, standards, and compliance requirements. Ability to apply electromagnetic theory to develop new measurement techniques and processes.
[ + ] Low Observables Design
Extensive and specialized knowledge of electromagnetic theory and physics to research and design low observable systems and components. Knowledge of low observable materials and processes; low observable design techniques and approaches; integration of low observable designs with other disciplines (such as structures, propulsion, and antennas) both internal and external; design trades and optimization; and electromagnetic analysis and modeling. Ability to apply low observables theory to develop new materials, processes, and techniques.
Education and/or Experience
Bachelor, Master or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry and typically 9 to 13 years experience in an engineering classification or either a Master's degree with 7 to 11 years experience or a PhD degree with 4 to 8 years experience in an engineering classification. ABET is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.
