Radar System Modes & Algorithms Lead

Honeywell Aerospace•Torrance, CA

2d•$118,000 - $147,000•Hybrid

About The Position

You will lead the successful execution of Radar signal processing, modes, and software function throughout Radar development programs, including weather signal processing, waveform design and implementation, embedded radar software, software architecture, and future multi-mode radar capability development. Working with the PI, and other system leads, this role establishes the technical approach and software capabilities for radar prototypes. Candidates should have demonstrated hands-on technical leadership of end-to-end radar signal processing, modes, and software development from concept through integrated prototype demonstration.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline such as science, technology, engineering, mathematics
Experience in Radar or RF systems (i.e. radar modes, radar signal, radar system)
Experience as a Systems Engineer including two or more of the following: requirements, design; specification development, modeling, simulation, or performance analysis; HW/ SW integration and test and verification
Radar system architecture and implementation: hands-on experience defining and developing radar system architectures, including radar subsystems, functional allocation, interfaces, data flows, hardware/software partitioning, and the physical hardware and processing needed to realize an integrated radar system.
Radar mode development and management: hands-on development of radar modes from operational needs through mode definition, processing, resource needs, implementation, and integration.
Radar waveform design, scan strategy, and resource management: design and optimization of radar waveforms, PRFs, bandwidths, timing, ambiguity, Doppler considerations, beam/scan strategies, dwell, revisit/update rates, coverage, and allocation of radar resources across modes.
Radar signal processing and algorithm development: hands-on development of range/Doppler processing, detection, CFAR, beamforming, angle estimation, clutter suppression, tracking, and other advanced radar processing, including implementation and optimization for real-time radar systems.
Radar modeling, simulation, and data analysis: hands-on development and use of MATLAB, Python, or similar tools for radar architecture, waveform and algorithm development, performance modeling, and analysis of measured radar data.
Radar system/subsystem prototyping: demonstrated experience taking radar concepts, architectures, modes, waveforms, and algorithms beyond analysis and simulation into functional hardware prototypes or demonstrators.
Candidates must be a US Person, a US citizen, or a US permanent resident.
