RF/Radar Systems Engineer (Experienced) - SEAL - Open Rank (Onsite)

RF / Radar Systems Engineers work with a team to perform advanced system and algorithm development using established systems engineering approaches.

Based on detailed trade studies and requirements analyses, radar systems engineers develop solutions to satisfy system requirements and perform functions related to all aspects of radar system design.

These functions include the development of the complete architectural design of radar systems, investigation and development of new algorithms to advance key sensor capabilities by leveraging signal processing techniques and novel waveform development, development of detailed simulations of algorithms and systems for design verification or to facilitate operational software development, the design of sensor modes that maximize sensor performance, the collection and analysis of data from laboratory or flight tests, and formal verification that the final design solution meet all system requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Programmatic and technical lead (as principal investigator, co-PI, or technical task lead); develop requirements and direct others to perform design and theory research and lab testing tasks.
• Perform significant team development and mentoring others in highly specialized tasks in research areas of expertise.
• Document and direct others of documenting work of design, theory, and test in written and presentation form as programmatic and technical lead.
• Primary lead on the development of whitepapers, proposals, and sponsor engagement to support multiple programs in research areas of expertise.
• Provide technical vision to sponsors for future research areas.
• Primary author and mentor of technical reports / presentations of projects, journal articles, and conference presentations.

Required Minimum Qualifications

• Demonstrated subject matter expert in RF, radar, or electronic warfare oriented systems and design.
• Background may include experience in RF circuit design, radar design or analysis, electromagnetic simulation and analysis, testing and test planning, and analysis of measurement data.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active Top Secret Clearance
• Extensive experience in the analysis, design, and prototyping or development of radar or electronic warfare systems.
