Share Email Opening Title Optimization Researcher  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. STR is hiring an Optimization Researcher to model performance of radio frequency (RF) systems including radar and communication systems, and to develop optimization algorithms for scheduling data collections. In this position, you will also conduct analyses of sensor data from real-world operations. Knowledge of antenna system and RF signal processing chains as well as optimization techniques are a plus but not required. Tasks will include modeling, simulation, statistical analysis, data analysis, design of experiments, algorithm development, technology assessments, and field testing. You may also design, prototype and field test the prototype systems. Responsibilities Include: Modeling of RF systems, including radar and communications systems Develop optimization algorithms for scheduling Conduct analysis of sensor data Design and field test prototypes Interact with military customers and users Transition algorithms to real-time systems or prototype demonstrators Travel to customer meetings and/or data collections and experiments   Position Requirements Required Qualifications: U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a Security Clearance Ph.D, M.S. or M.A. in Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related scientific field, or equivalent experience in quantitative modeling and analysis. The applicant should be experienced in defining and developing applied mathematical models and simulations related to real-world problems. The applicant must also be able to independently develop an analysis approach and interpret and present results to a broad audience. Strong communications skills and ability to work both independently and in a multi-disciplinary team environment are necessary.   Desired Qualifications: Active Security Clearance at the Secret or Top Secret (TS) level Experience in analyzing sensor systems, sensors, system architectures, developing algorithms, optimization, machine learning, or data fusion techniques   About the Organization Systems & Technology Research (STR) is a rapidly growing technology company with locations north of Boston, MA, Arlington, VA and near Dayton, OH.
