1d•$86,800 - $165,200•Onsite

About The Position

The Advanced Airborne RF Sensors department within the Space and Airborne Systems Engineering and Test Capability (SE&TC) Center has an opportunity for a Radar Systems Engineer. The Radar Systems Engineer will join our Advanced Development product line to provide radar algorithm/signal processing mode development to support distributed aperture radar programs. Mode development includes working on multi-function radar capabilities such as Airborne Moving Target Indicator (AMTI), Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI), maritime surveillance, sense and avoid, weather detection, terrain detection/avoidance, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and communications. This position is an onsite role located in Plano, Texas.

Requirements

Typically requires a bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience or an advanced degree in a related field and minimum 3 years’ experience to include radar systems, software engineering, radar signal processing techniques, mathematical / radar mode algorithm development, analytic techniques and digital simulation models (DSM)
The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued Secret security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance

Nice To Haves

An active and in-scope DOD Secret US security clearance is desired.
MATLAB and C or C++ (coding experience is required to implement algorithms into the program’s system simulation).
Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools
