Space Systems Engineer
About The Position
The Space Systems Engineer works on space-based systems that typically include digital signal processing algorithms implemented in hardware and software. The role involves systems engineering and may include development of digital signal processing algorithms for statistical analysis of signal parameter measurements using techniques from Detection & Estimation Theory, Random Processes Analysis, and Communications and Information Theory. The position is onsite and requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Department of Defense TS/SCI security clearance within a reasonable amount of time after hire. U.S. citizenship is required because of the nature of the work performed at the facilities. The role is with General Dynamics Mission Systems, which engineers high-technology solutions, products, and services for customers across domains of operation, including defense and scientific arenas. The position offers research-oriented work and opportunities for continuous learning and development alongside teams developing solutions for national security.
