Description

Are you interested in applying your skills to solve unique navigation challenges facing the US Navy?

Do you want to be part of a team of engineers, applied mathematicians and physicists as we ensure the US Navy has the most accurate, yet reliable maritime navigation systems in the world?

If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.

We are the Navigation group in the Force Projection Sector at JHU / APL. We are seeking a Navigation Analyst to help us pursue innovative solutions to the timely and timeless maritime navigation problem.

As a Navigation Analyst, you will...

  • Become the Subject Matter Expert on the mathematical theory and physics behind cutting-edge navigation systems that must operate in extremely demanding conditions in support of the most crucial missions of the US military.
  • Apply this knowledge to model the errors in various navigation systems and be part of a team determining their impact on tactical and strategic mission objectives as we also investigate methods to mitigate their influence.
  • Join a highly talented and motivated team of mathematicians, engineers and physicists focused on navigation error analysis with many opportunities to collaborate with other innovative experts from a variety of technical fields.

Your specific tasks will include...

  • Developing the mathematical models governing the performance of the most accurate inertial navigation systems in the US Navy surface and subsurface fleet.
  • Deriving the physics-based models for how the various supporting aids to the navigation system interact and influence the inertial system.
  • Assessing the fidelity of the navigation systems being studied then communicating your conclusions and recommendations to decision-makers.
  • Qualifications

    You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...

  • Have a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or similar technical field.
  • Have relevant experience developing and using mathematical or physics based models describing a complex system to perform analysis.
  • Have experience with Kalman filters and / or modern system estimation methods.
  • Have experience with a high-level programming language like MATLAB or Python.
  • Have the verbal and writing skills and disposition necessary for documenting and presenting work to APL colleagues and government sponsors.
  • Enjoy solving challenging technical problems requiring both self-motivated independent investigation and collaborative team effort.
  • Are willing and able to travel occasionally to US Navy facilities, bases and contractor sites to present results.
  • Are able to obtain a Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Top Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.
  • You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...

  • Have a Master's or PhD in Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or similar technical field.
  • Have experience modeling navigation sensors including IMUs, GPS, and navigational sonars (Doppler Velocity Log, Correlation Velocity Log).
  • Have a Top Secret security clearance.
