MDA | Sr Advanced Radar Electromagnetic Warfare Analyst
About The Position
Radar Electromagnetic Warfare Analyst: The Systems Engineering and Integration Team is seeking a Radar Electromagnetic Warfare Analyst. The Radar Electromagnetic Warfare Analyst will support analysis and modeling activities focused on electromagnetic warfare applications for missile defense systems. The role includes conducting special studies, analyzing radar electromagnetic protection techniques, and contributing to the development and use of MATLAB-based simulation tools that model radar and electronic warfare interactions at the in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) signal level. This position operates in a classified environment and supports engineering analysis used to evaluate system survivability and electromagnetic performance.
Requirements
- Requires a Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, or a related Science, Engineering, Technology or Mathematics field.
- Also requires 8+ years of job-related experience, or a Master's degree plus 6 years of job-related experience.
- 10 years of relevant professional experience in radar systems, electronic warfare, RF analysis, or related technical fields.
- Experience developing or modifying engineering simulations using MATLAB.
- Familiarity with radar signal processing concepts, including time-domain signal representations.
- Knowledge of electronic attack (EA) and electronic protection (EP) techniques.
- Understanding of RF propagation effects and their influence on radar performance.
- Ability to work effectively in a classified on-site environment.
- U.S. Government security clearance at time of hire.
- Department of Defense Secret security clearance is required at time of hire.
- Applicants selected will be subject to a U.S. Government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
- Due to the nature of work performed within our facilities, U.S. citizenship is required.
