Senior Weapons Systems Analyst

About the role

Booz Allen is looking for a Senior Weapons Systems Analyst to lead threat analysis and characterization of foreign air and missile defense systems. The role provides technical direction to intelligence analysts on foreign air and missile defense systems, integrated air defense systems (IADS), radars, command and control (C2), interceptors and effectors, and acts as a principal technical advisor on foreign threat system analysis, foreign materiel exploitation (FME) and technical signals intelligence (SIGINT).

Key responsibilities

• Conduct engineering analyses and reverse-engineering studies to determine architecture inter- and intra-dependencies.
• Guide analytic approaches for characterizing foreign sensor, C2 and weapon-system capabilities, including radar modes, operating concepts, engagement timelines, kill-chain behavior and system-of-systems integration.
• Lead analysis of foreign ground-based air defense radars, missile defense radars, fire-control radars, launchers, interceptors and associated communications and data-link architectures.
• Assess draft R&D system products and timelines, designs, configurations, capabilities, performance and signatures to evaluate product validity, stability and rigor.
• Tailor assessments for space initiatives and translate intelligence findings into actionable technical insights for missile defense architecture assessment, test planning, modeling and simulation, system engineering and operational threat representation.

Required profile

• 12+ years of experience in foreign air and missile defense systems (C2, radar, interceptors, effectors, IADS, missile defense, technical SIGINT).
• 5+ years of experience with Scientific and Technical Intelligence Center organizations, service intelligence centers, DoD intelligence production organizations, national laboratories or technical intelligence customers.
• Bachelor's degree in Information Technology, Physical Science, Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Operational Research or Computer Science; Master's degree in a STEM field is a plus.
• Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a polygraph exam; applicants are subject to a security investigation.

Required skills

• Radar system fundamentals: modes, waveforms, antenna concepts, electronic scanning, tracking, fire-control, discrimination, signal processing, electronic protection and operational signatures.
• Interpreting Technical SIGINT, FME-derived data, intelligence reports, test data and engineering data to characterize foreign threat systems.
• Nice to have: foreign surface-to-air and theater missile defense systems, ELINT, FISINT, MASINT, threat-system reverse engineering, modeling and simulation products, special access program experience, and knowledge of foreign C2 networks and air-defense doctrine.

What we offer

• Projected annual salary range of $77,600 to $176,000 depending on location, qualifications and experience.
• Health, life, disability, financial and retirement benefits, paid leave, professional development, tuition assistance, work-life programs and dependent care.
• Recognition awards for exceptional performance.
