About The Position

The Processing, Guidance and Controls (PG&C) Center within the Systems Engineering and Test Capabilities Discipline consists of Guidance, Navigation and Control; Signal Processing; and Modeling, Simulation, and Analysis disciplines for Effectors. The Signal Processing team is seeking Systems Engineer II - Signal Processing engineers to join our PG&C Center in Tucson, AZ. As the Systems Engineer II - Signal Processing, you will collaborate in the design, development, prototyping, integration, testing, and performance assessment of radio frequency (RF) or electro-optical / infrared (EO/IR) algorithms and models. Used across our products and new business initiatives, signal processing algorithms extract and exploit sensor signals to be used for calibrating and de-noising raw sensor data; detecting, acquiring, tracking, and classifying objects of interest; and sensor fusion. This is an onsite position located in Tucson, AZ. You will act as an established and productive professional with theoretical to advanced knowledge of signal processing to support development, execution, and completion of difficult and sometimes complex missile systems program objectives. You will use and modify simulations for the design, development, prototyping, integration, testing, and performance assessment of signal processing algorithms and models. You will participate in engineering lab environments to test, verify, and validate sensor models and signal processing algorithm performance in accordance with requirements. You will focus on integration of algorithms into hardware and collaborate in all development phases from program start-up to live-fire testing, supporting design reviews, peer reviews, and technical briefings to parties within and outside your own discipline.

Requirements
