About Castelion
Castelion is bringing a new approach to defense development and production: one that focuses on short, iterative design cycles, rapid testing in development, and modern commercial manufacturing strategies for production at scale. We're designing, building, and testing next generation long range strike weapons systems to give America and its Allies a definitive edge and deter future conflicts.
Senior Radar Analyst
Castelion is seeking a high performing senior radar analyst who can extract critical insights and actionable information from a large volume of simulated and measured radar data. A successful candidate will be one who “gets their hands dirty” in the data, meaning they go beyond the theory and math to find out what is actually happening in the system. The role also includes acting on the findings to improve radar performance. This includes algorithm modifications (or upgrades) and calibration modifications (or additions). To this end, the senior radar analyst is responsible for the overall calibration approach for the radar seeker. This aspect of the role involves working with algorithm owners and systems engineers to determine what data products (and at what quality level) are needed to reliably produce seekers at scale.
