RADAR ENGINEER
The Advanced Sensor Systems and Test Beds Group performs concept development, prototype design, analysis, and demonstrations in support of the National test ranges and HF and air defense radars and systems. Major activities within the group include the development of optical systems, communication systems, and wideband, airborne, over-the-horizon, and bistatic radar systems with technology development in the areas of phased arrays, advanced waveforms, adaptive signal processing, and unique detection and tracking algorithms. The work in the group often requires the fabrication of one-of-a-kind operational and experimental test assets in support of a significant amount of field testing and data collection to prove new concepts.
Radar systems engineers are needed for wideband radar system analysis and design, associated signal and data processing, radar calibration, testing, and data analysis. Typical work activities will include:
• Architect and design advanced radar systems.
• Design, develop, and evaluate advanced radar signal and data processing algorithms.
• Develop test plans to evaluate radar systems and/or subsystems, execute tests, analyze data, and evaluate performance.
REQUIRED SKILLS:
• Experience with air & missile defense radar systems, radar system design, development, and testing
• Significant experience in any of the following fields: RF systems, statistical signal processing, and moving target detection and tracking.
• Experience with statistical signal processing of radar phased array data, including adaptive beamforming, channel equalization, and radar waveform design
• Algorithm development experience in any programming language (i.e., proficiency with MATLAB, Python or C++)
• Good organizational skills with the ability to complete assignments working independently and in a team environment, and effectively present results.
