About The Position

Peraton Labs is seeking a Radar Countermeasures Engineer to support the U.S. Army at Aberdeen Proving Ground, MD. This position will be on site 5 days a week. The chosen candidate will act in a technical engineering role supporting modeling and simulation, lab-based hardware in the loop simulations, and technique development. Key Responsibilities include: You will participate in engineering lab environments to test, verify, and validate sensor models and signal processing algorithm performance. You will use and modify simulations for the design, development, prototyping, integration, testing, and performance assessment of signal processing algorithms and models. You will develop radar waveforms to serve as evaluation criteria for systems under test (SUTs) performance within the lab environment. You will develop software tools to support the lab environment and signals analysis. You will operate radar SUTs during both lab and field testing. You will prepare and present technical data. Job will include up to 25% travel.
