Title

Senior RF Systems Engineer 

Category Engineering  
Description

The Sensors Division focuses on technology development for advanced sensor systems, particularly in the areas of airborne/surface-based radar, electronic warfare, underwater acoustics, hyperspectral imaging and EO/IR sensing. Within this role, we perform work at full system prototypes, experiment campaigns and technology component development. Particular development roles within the Sensors Division include RF analog/digital hardware, acoustic hardware, signal processing algorithms, machine learning algorithms, tracking/fusion, as well as real-time embedded processor implementation.

As a Senior RF Sensor Systems Engineer, you will be part of a small team focused on the modeling, simulation, and analysis of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance RF systems. Additionally, you will support the effort to evaluate current and future system capabilities, identify improved applications and techniques, and ultimately recommend solutions. Other duties include defining algorithm and system performance as a function of sensor data quality, characterizing system performance in order to clarify capabilities, identifying improvement areas in sensor data processing, and the researching multi-sensor approaches for data fusion and systems.


Responsibilities Include:

  • Developing advanced RF hardware systems (radar, SIGINT, communications)
  • Researching new RF sensing and processing concepts
  • Developing RF hardware models (system level, component level)
  • Working with measured RF sensor data to develop system models and conduct performance analyses for the purposes of design trades
  • Developing RF propagation and scattering models
  • PI duties
 
Position Requirements

Required Qualifications:

  • U.S. Citizenship with the ability to obtain a Security Clearance
  • MS or PhD degree in electrical engineering, physics, applied mathematics or related technical discipline
  • Relevant experience designing, integrating and testing RF sensor and/or communication systems
  • Familiarity with RF component technology and performance characteristics
  • Strong scientific programming skills including MATLAB, Simulink and/or C/C++
  • Ability to translate customer requirements to determine research focus
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to describe complex technical concepts to fellow researchers as well as to non-technical people

 

Desired Qualifications:

  • Active Security Clearance at the Secret or Top Secret (TS) level
