Electrophysics Engineer (Radar Systems Analysis) - Associate or Mid-Level
About The Position
The Boeing Company, specifically Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), is seeking an Associate or Mid-Level Electrophysics Engineer with a focus on Radar Systems Analysis. This role is part of the Kent Space SEIT team in Kent, WA. The position involves developing radar analysis and algorithms for mission-critical defensive capabilities. Key responsibilities include developing and validating requirements for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems, conducting trade studies, designing and executing tests for performance verification, supporting engineering compliance, and performing lifecycle root-cause analysis. The role emphasizes algorithm design and software implementation within a cloud environment, requiring the development and evaluation of radar algorithms (signal and image processing, detection, tracking, imaging) for ground processing and their translation into production-ready code. Proficiency in Python or C++ for algorithm development, prototyping, and data analysis is essential. Experience with signal and image processing toolsets, real-time software constraints, and test-program design is highly valued. Strong analytical, communication, and customer-focused skills, along with a commitment to quality and safety, are necessary.
Requirements
