Systems Analyst

Systems Analyst
MIT Lincoln Laboratory

The Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems and Architectures Group works directly with DoD senior leadership to understand their needs and briefs leadership regularly to inform future technology investments. Concepts developed within the group can lead to data collections, engineering design studies, technology development, and prototyping projects within MIT Lincoln Laboratory.

Position Description:
The Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) Systems and Architectures Group is seeking a Systems Analyst at the Technical Staff level to conduct mission-based performance assessments of future Department of Defense (DoD) systems and architectures.

The candidate will execute systems analysis studies of critical DoD missions, planned DoD capabilities, and new technologies. This requires the development of physics and engineering-based models of these systems in various programming languages, with an emphasis on MATLAB. The candidate isn’t expected to have previous experience in these areas, but should have the technical background sufficient to learn them. Activities involve systems analysis, data analysis, physics-based modeling, software simulation, and engineering design, while working independently, as a member of a small technical team, or in a study leadership role. The position also requires the ability to construct high-quality briefings and present them clearly to a range of audiences.

Requirements:
Doctorate in Physics, Mathematics, Aeronautics/Astronautics, Engineering, or a related technical field; or Master’s degree with 5 years of experience will be considered. A minimum GPA of 3.5 is desired.

Desired Skills: Ability to quickly learn new technical areas and apply that knowledge effectively to solve challenging mission problems. Excellent communication skills, including the ability to clearly present technical concepts to a wide spectrum of audiences, are also desired.

MIT Lincoln Laboratory is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer.
