Qualifications
The applicant is to provide a separate narrative statement which describes fully, but concisely, how his/her experience supports each of the following Mandatory Technical Qualifications. Each technical qualification narrative should not exceed 2 pages. Failure to address these specific qualifications in a separate narrative statement will eliminate you from consideration: 1. National and/or international reputation in fundamental scientific knowledge related to strategic weapon systems. 2. Demonstrated ability to conduct and lead research and development programs for strategic weapon targeting and fire control to include planning, directing, and resolving technical issues of a complex nature relating to strategic weapons systems and to resolve these technical issues by leading the development and integration of new state-of-the-art techniques, theories, and concepts. 3. Knowledge of a broad scope of technologies in geoballistics, weapons control, missile guidance theory, software development processes and tools, modeling of the earth's gravitational field, targeting analysis, error modeling, atmospheric phenomena, optimized star selection methodologies, statistical gain matrix computational algorithms, and integrated system technology and integration, especially as related to Navy Strategic Weapon Systems. 4. Demonstrated ability to assess current and projected mission requirement, capabilities, and shortfalls relative to strategies, budgets, threat analysis, and execution plans.
