About Epirus

Epirus is a high-growth technology company developing software-defined high-power microwave (HPM) systems with devastating counter-electronics effects on modern drone threats. The Epirus Leonidas HPM family of products, empowered by innovations in AI and microelectronics, is human safe and cost-effective. Distinguishing itself from lasers, Leonidas excels against drone swarms while also bending the cost curve back in DoD's favor - taking drone-defeat costs from millions of dollars per drone to pennies on the dollar.

Job Summary: The Senior Manager of System Modeling and Analysis will lead a team of senior career engineers and data scientists responsible for operational analysis, radar mode development, high-power microwave waveform techniques, and system modeling. Reporting to the Director of Systems Engineering, this role will involve shaping the direction of future systems by investigating the capabilities and limitations of current and prospective technologies. The Senior Manager will collaborate closely with systems engineers to ensure that product designs align with customer objectives and requirements.

Responsibilities:

• Lead and mentor a team of engineers in conducting operational analysis and system modeling.
• Plan and prioritize modeling and analysis tasks, allocate resources effectively, and manage project timelines to meet delivery milestones.
• Collaborate with systems engineers to ensure that product architectures and designs align with customer objectives and requirements.
• Investigate the art of the possible by modeling and analyzing the capabilities and limitations of current and future systems in operational environments.
• Own the development and optimization of advanced radar modes and high-power microwave waveform techniques to enhance system performance and functionality.
• Lead the development and implementation of data-driven approaches for system analysis and modeling, leveraging advanced analytics and machine learning techniques.
• Provide technical guidance and expertise to support the development of innovative solutions and strategies for addressing customer needs and challenges.
• Maintain compliance with security clearance requirements, including obtaining and maintaining an active SECRET clearance for DoD contracts.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.

• Strong leadership skills, with experience managing teams of engineers and data scientists in a technical environment.
• Proficiency in system modeling and simulation tools, such as MATLAB, Simulink, or Python.
• Experience with data analysis and visualization techniques, as well as familiarity with machine learning algorithms and frameworks.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and external stakeholders.
• Active SECRET clearance or the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance for DoD contracts.

Preferred Skills and Experience:

• Experience working in the defense or aerospace industry, with knowledge of military systems and operations.
• Familiarity with radar signal processing techniques, waveform design, and digital signal processing algorithms.
• Previous experience in operational analysis and scenario-based modeling for defense systems and applications.
• Advanced degree in a relevant technical field.
• Certifications in systems engineering, data science, or related disciplines (e.g., INCOSE CSEP, AWS Certified Data Analytics Specialty).

ITAR REQUIREMENTS:

• To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State.
