If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL! Our dedicated team is passionate about providing high-impact analysis and system engineering solutions to support our warfighters.

As a part of our team, you will address real warfighter challenges, influence emerging system design, and impact fleet deployment decisions.

We are committed to taking on challenging problems with technical excellence and strive to foster an environment of collaboration, innovation, and sustained professional growth.

As a Data Analyst / Systems Engineer You will conduct highly technical analysis of the Aegis Weapon Control System (WCS) to evaluate system performance in support of fleet studies, flight test events, and system engineering studies.

You will characterize system capabilities and limitations, identify trends and outliers, and perform root cause analysis.

You will support concept and feasibility studies to assist in the development of future capabilities and requirements. You will develop tools to analyze and interpret combat system performance and visualize data in innovative ways.

You will contribute to WCS system engineering efforts by assessing system design and evaluating algorithms. You will have the opportunity to present your work through briefings to both technical staff, program leadership and pivotal decision makers.

Qualifications You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you Have a BS degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related technical field.
