Radar Engineer

Leidos • Huntsville, AL

2d • $69,550 - $125,725

About The Position

Leidos Defense Systems is seeking a Radar Engineer to develop solutions for complex sensor and radar problems. The role supports advanced technology radar programs, including radar signal processor development, radar tracking algorithms, advanced sensors in electronic warfare environments, radar-system simulation, RF sensor and system field testing, and deployment of advanced sensor systems.

The engineer will work with other engineers to examine existing algorithms for performance and processing-latency improvements, research algorithms in technical literature, and assess whether they could improve radar programs. The work includes radar modeling and simulation, antenna array theory, digital signal processing, tracking, algorithm development, and sensor-system field testing. The position requires U.S. citizenship and the ability to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance. The candidate must live in Northern Alabama or be willing to relocate to Huntsville, Alabama.

Requirements

• Master's degree, preferably in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering, from an ABET-accredited school; strong demonstration of the listed skills will also be considered.
• Must be a U.S. citizen and able to obtain and maintain a DoD Secret security clearance.
• Must reside in Northern Alabama or be willing to relocate to Huntsville, Alabama.
• Organizational skills, attention to detail, and a strong technical background.
• Ability to apply skills in radar modeling and simulation, antenna array theory, digital signal processing, tracking, algorithm development, and sensor-system field testing.
• Experience working with a team of engineers to solve difficult radar algorithm problems and peer-review algorithms.
• Excellent teamwork skills and fundamentals in digital signal processing, tracker algorithms, MATLAB or Python, and radar simulation and modeling.

Nice To Haves

• Electromagnetics.
• Modern C++ development.
• Familiarity with Linux.
• Experience with radar simulation and a strong background in statistics and probability.

Responsibilities

• Support advanced technology radar programs.
• Develop radar signal processors and radar tracking algorithms.
• Work with advanced sensors in electronic warfare environments.
• Simulate radar systems.
• Field-test RF sensors and systems, and support deployment of advanced sensor systems.
• Review existing algorithms to identify improvements in performance and processing latency.
• Research algorithms in technical literature and assess their potential to improve radar programs.
• Collaborate with engineers on radar algorithm problems and peer-review algorithms developed internally or obtained from industry.
