You may direct and/or lead development efforts and junior engineers, as needed, in areas of focus including exploration and demonstration of Radar and EW/RF convergence.
As a Systems Engineer, you will apply a broad perspective and understanding of the elements that comprise a complete, functioning radar system to architect solutions, be directly involved with implementing the solutions (hands-on engineering), and guide teams spanning software, hardware, integration and test. You should have experience defining leading teams, architecting complete radar systems, and working across the Systems Engineering Lifecycle, with familiarity in Digital Engineering/MBSE.

Responsibilities Include:

  • Researching, understanding, and leading new RF sensing implementations for advanced radar solutions. Identifying new technical approaches and working with program and technical leadership to implement these approaches
  • Decomposing customer needs/complex problems and developing system concepts and solutions
  • Effectively using tools to create, evaluate, and document solutions and clearly communicate the solution to the team, Client management, and customers, which may include generating system models in Cameo
  • Designing, directing, and when necessary, implementing cutting-edge technology in multi-function radar systems
  • Conducting performance analysis through simulations and real-world testing to validate and optimize radar performance
  • Ensuring appropriate level of rigor is applied to achieve systems that meet customer needs

Required Qualifications:

  • This position requires an Active Secret security clearance with the ability to obtain and retain a Top Secret (TS) security clearance with SCI/SAP eligibility, for which U.S. citizenship is needed by U.S. Government.
  • Expert understanding of and experience with entire radar systems and their principles of design, development, requirements verification, test planning, test execution, data analysis, and operations support
  • In-depth knowledge of how to implement radar modes, including transmit and receive waveform generation and signal processing
  • Proficiency in radar simulation tools and MATLAB
  • Experience in preparing and delivering high-level briefings to customers and senior management. Interacting with decision-makers and customers to translate mission needs into an end-to-end solution
  • Familiarity with the execution of technical reviews (SRRs, PDRs, CDRs, TIMs)
  • Demonstrated experience in leadership and delivery of advanced development projects
  • Minimum of 10 years work experience as a Radar Systems Engineer

Desired Qualifications:

  • Active Top Secret Security Clearance, and eligible to support special access programs.
  • Minimum of 5 years experience working with SysML models in Cameo (or similar tool).
  • Experience working with software-intensive systems and open architecture.
  • Familiarity with programming languages (e.g. C, C++, Python).



Education/background:

  • Background should include a Bachelor’s degree and at least 10 years of applicable experience directly related to development and deployment of radar systems; Master’s degree and at least 8 years of applicable experience; or PhD and at least 5 years of applicable experience.
