Job description

About the Team 

The Maritime Domain Applications (MDA) Group is seeking a Radar Signal Processing Engineer to develop advanced sensing concepts utilizing adaptive radar signal processing, resource management, and advanced radar algorithm development, as well as executing advanced sensor concept demonstrations. 

The Role: 

A successful candidate will have working knowledge in one or more of the following areas: advanced signal processing, radar systems, RF remote sensing, or resource management; or a strong background in a foundational field for these areas (i.e. - mathematics, physics, etc.). Additional desired skillsets would be the application of AI/ML principals into advanced signal processing algorithms. This position requires skills working as part of multi-disciplinary teams designing and analyzing signal processing algorithms for complex systems. Strong technical, interpersonal, communication, and technical leadership skills are desired. 

What you will do: 

  • Develop system concepts and signal processing algorithms for remote sensing
  • Work as part of a small, focused team to architect, develop, implement, and test RF signal processing systems
  • Modeling and Simulation of advanced RF systems, new sensing paradigms, and multi-function RF concepts 

What you will do: 

  • Develop system concepts and signal processing algorithms for remote sensing
  • Work as part of a small, focused team to architect, develop, implement, and test RF signal processing systems
  • Modeling and Simulation of advanced RF systems, new sensing paradigms, and multi-function RF concepts 

Who you are: 

  • Ability to obtain a Secret security clearance, for which U.S. citizenship is needed by the U.S. Government
  • BS with 5+ years of experience, MS with 3+ years of experience, or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related field
  • Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python as well as other higher-level languages
  • Strong Mathematical, troubleshooting, written, and verbal communication skills 

Even Better: 

  • Active Secret or Top Secret (TS) clearance
  • Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or a related field
  • Experience with advanced RF system concepts, multi-dimensional signal processing, waveform design, system optimization, or multi-function phased array apertures
  • Experience with algorithm optimization for real time systems, especially radar or remote sensing 

Pay Information
Full-Time Salary Range: $139,000 - $170,000

The salary range listed is based on external market data. Offers are based on factors, such as but not limited to, the candidate's experience, education, training, key skills/critical skills, security clearances, and prevailing market and business conditions.
