Role overview

This is an entry-level Systems Engineer role supporting sonar and inertial-navigation analysis tools for strategic submarine navigation programs. You will join a confidential client engineering team at their RMS Mitchel Field site (Long Island / NYC metro area) and work under senior engineers to process test data, run basic covariance and error-model calculations, and help integrate new filter capabilities into MATLAB-based toolsets. This position is a strong technical foundation if you want a career in signal processing, systems modeling, and defense-related engineering.

What you’ll do

• Collect, preprocess, and analyze test data from sensor and navigation systems
• Execute covariance and error-model calculations to support verification activities
• Integrate and validate new filter capabilities within existing MATLAB toolsets
• Create and maintain data-format documentation and define data requirements
• Parse raw data streams and ensure datasets are accessible for analysis
• Contribute to technical reports, update design documentation, and present results in team meetings
• Work collaboratively with engineers across software, systems, and test teams
