Opportunities currently exist within SVTAD's Air Defense Systems Department, ADS on the Phased Array Tracking to Intercept of Target (Patriot) Program.  These positions are located in the New England area. 

The ADS Department provides expertise in the integration, and sell off (testing) for various air defense programs within IDS.  ADS Engineers are involved in all aspects of the Integrated Product Development System (IPDS) cycle.  ADS engineers have ownership authority to ensure that individual items are integrated and perform as expected as well as ensuring that the system can be sold off concluding the various verification methods chosen and pre-approved by the customer.  Most system tests will be conducted in the ADS Department’s HWIL facilities.  These facilities include integrated tactical hardware, simulated, and emulated for data collection to verify the systems capabilities and support the ultimate sell off of the PATRIOT Systems.

Joining this highly visible team and performing technically challenging assignments which will directly contribute to protecting our nation and our alleys war fighters. Your work will culminate in the integration and test support and fielding of the PATRIOT defense systems and needed to defend the battlefield, valuable US assets, allies and the homeland from attacks by conventional and nuclear ballistic missile threats.

Some of the tasks for Integration engineers include:

• Developing an Integration Plan to describe how the system will go together and which levels will be tested as the system is assembled
• Interfacing with team members during integration cycle
• Ensuring integration test environment is adequate according to the specific needs of your task

• Integrating components of system

• Participating in Peer Reviews
• After integration and verification, act as support for customer testing

Learn the System.  Build your career.  Model your future. 

Integration roles provide a great opportunity to learn how the system is designed and operates. Documented high performance and success in integration roles have provided some of our talented and driven systems engineers into larger roles of increasing responsibility such as task leads, lead systems engineers and Integrated Product Team IPT leads.

You must be a highly motivated “self-starter” and possess strong verbal, presentation and written communication skills and must be capable of working well within multifaceted teams or at times independently to research solutions and bring about the resolution of complex problems.
