MDA | Radar Electromagnetic Warfare Analyst
About The Position
The Systems Engineering and Integration Team is seeking a Radar Electromagnetic Warfare Analyst. The Radar Electromagnetic Warfare Analyst will support engineering studies and modeling efforts related to electromagnetic warfare applications for missile defense systems. The role focuses on assisting with the development and use of MATLAB-based simulations that model radar signals and electronic warfare interactions at the in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) level. This position provides an opportunity to develop expertise in radar systems, electronic attack and protection techniques, and RF propagation modeling while working within a classified engineering environment.
Requirements
- 0–10 years of relevant experience (internships or research experience acceptable).
- Ability to program in MATLAB.
- Basic understanding of radar systems or radar signal processing fundamentals.
- Familiarity with RF concepts and signal propagation.
- Ability to work in a classified on-site environment.
- Active Secret security clearance at time of hire.
- Requires a Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering, Technology or Mathematics field. Also requires 5+ years of job-related experience, or a Master's degree plus 3 years of job-related experience.
- Department of Defense Secret security clearance is required at time of hire. Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information. Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required.
Nice To Haves
- Coursework or project experience involving radar systems, RF engineering, or signal processing.
- Exposure to electronic warfare concepts, including electronic attack and electronic protection.
- Experience working with I/Q signal representations or time-domain signal modeling.
- Familiarity with Simulink, Python, or C/C++.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
