Position Overview:

The Command and Control, Battle Management, and Communications Experimentation Laboratory (C2BMC X-Lab) is fast-paced and dynamic. The X-Lab is responsible for developing and integrating future-capability prototypes for the Ballistic Missile Defense System (BMDS), including Sensor/Weapon Integration, Algorithm Development, User Interface Development, and other critical leading-edge missile defense technologies.

The X-Lab needs to augment the team with a mid-level systems engineer to perform a disciplined system engineering approach to define, develop, and analyze integrating external elements' capability with C2BMC. This includes performing playback of data from launch events into C2BMC, analyzing the system performance, and cueing BMDS sensors. Participate in developing, executing, and analyzing the results of various prototype tests in a lab environment as needed. Non-standard work hours are highly likely during event execution, and a small amount of travel may be required.
