About The Position

This role requires an expert-level engineer with deep knowledge of threat radar systems. The engineer will be responsible for providing expert insights into emitter characteristics, tracking and guidance algorithms, signal processing, and engagement simulation behaviors for test and evaluation environments. The position involves leading the technical development and refinement of radar threat models, scripts, simulations, and hardware-in-the-loop configurations to accurately replicate adversary radar capabilities. The role also includes advising on the integration of threat radar systems with various test environments and conducting advanced analysis of radar system performance, vulnerabilities, and countermeasure interactions. The engineer will support engineering reviews, test planning, design evaluations, and provide authoritative recommendations on system behavior and modernization strategies.

Requirements

• Recognized industry expert or nationally acknowledged specialist in radar threat systems, electronic warfare, signal processing, or sensor emitter integration.
• Demonstrated ability to independently perform complex engineering, analysis, and system behavior modeling tasks and provide strategic recommendations to senior government and contractor leadership.
• Deep technical understanding of modern threat radar architectures, tracking modes, ECM/EP interactions, and developmental test methodologies.
• Experience supporting high fidelity modeling, simulation, hardware in the loop environments, or test range integration of radar threat systems.
• Active TS/SCI clearance.
• U.S. citizenship required.

Nice To Haves
