RF/Radar Systems Engineer (Junior Level) - ATAS - Open Rank

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

• Conduct initial RF subsystem and system design studies, testing plans, and analysis of requirements as directed by technical lead.
• Develop technical reports and diagrams detailing design description or performance as defined by requirements.
• Works with Interface with and learn how to work with disparate engineering teams for technical tasking.

Additional Responsibilities

Design and testing of radar subsystems, including antennas, transmitters, exciters, and receivers.

Required Minimum Qualifications

• Candidates currently enrolled in an accredited degree program relevant to this position will be considered. The candidate must have a graduation date of no later than August 2024.
• Performance assessment of RF systems and subsystems, including antenna, waveform generation, power amplification, and receiver design and technology.
• Modeling and simulation experience with MATLAB.
• RF subsystem design knowledge.
• Experience with RF subsystem-related hardware.

Preferred Qualifications

• Active TS / SCI Clearance.
• Working knowledge of radar system function.
• Modeling and simulation experience with computational electromagnetic codes such as HFSS and FEKO.
