About The Position

The Systems Engineering Long Range Radars department within the Surface Radars and Sensors center is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to support the XTR-2 program in Woburn, Massachusetts. The engineer will contribute to architecture design, requirements definition and modeling, hardware and software design, and integration and test activities for a new radar system. The position calls for deep radar knowledge to understand interactions between DREX processing and modern servo technologies in a complex operational sensor. The engineer will diagnose interdependent subsystem behavior and ensure hardware and software updates remain coherent and aligned with long-term sustainment needs. The role is onsite and focuses on designing and integrating an advanced X-Band radar system to meet demanding performance requirements. The engineer will model and analyze system behavior, examine RF behavior, array calibration, microwave dynamics, and servo/pedestal control systems, and resolve system-level issues across hardware and software components. Close collaboration with subject matter experts is expected to develop, test, and validate technical theories and system upgrades. An active and transferable U.S. government security clearance is required before starting, and U.S. citizenship is required. Applicants must also be able to obtain an interim U.S. government clearance before the start date. The salary range is $95,500 to $181,700. Relocation assistance is available. Hired applicants may be eligible for benefits and incentive compensation, subject to the applicable business unit, position level, and other stated factors.
