Matlab Contract Jobs in Nevada (NOW HIRING)

JT4, LLC provides engineering and technical support to multiple western test ranges for the U.S. Air Force, Space Force, and Navy under the Joint Range Technical Services Contract, better known as J-Tech II. JT4 develops and maintains realistic, integrated test and training environments and prepares our nation's war-fighting aircraft, weapons systems, and aircrews for today's missions and tomorrow's global challenges.
Job Summary -- Essential Functions/Duties
The Engineer will work primarily within research and development engineering groups with responsibility for a wide variety of tasks. The primary tasking will be a variety of testing tasks using radars. We are looking for engineers with entry to master level skill sets who work well in both theoretical and practical domains as part of an iterative process to create innovative solutions for a multitude of relevant domain challenges as partially described below.
These positions generally require the following abilities which are usually performed within an office environment but also in the field:

• Calculate RF link budgets and expected interference levels for various test scenarios and geometries.
• Analyze radar signal to noise levels to determine if specified mission criteria can be met.
• Determine which specific radar and other technical data must be made available and collected to satisfy specified mission requirements.
• Determine the timing of waveforms to meet specific mission needs without exceeding duty cycle constraints.
• Design test scenarios and waveform timing to verify proper functioning of EW systems.
• Perform micro-Doppler analysis of radar returns to determine if mission objectives were met.
• Perform micro-Doppler analysis of radar returns to determine if presence of radar hardware or timing problems.
• Track known radar data over time to statistically determine the health of various radar systems and components.
• Analyze 3-D position and attitude data to determine if planned test objectives were met after test execution.
• Analyze radar data and statistically determine any anomalies when compared against expected values.
• Convey complex radar-related information in both written and spoken form for personnel with limited domain knowledge.
• Determine which signal processing techniques and algorithms to use to process radar returns.
• Determine sampling and signal processing requirements to collect data on moving targets.
• Provide software requirements to software team members.
• Write code (Matlab, Python, etc.) to analyze and assess specific conditions in radar returns.
• Work independently on multiple tasks.

Desired Qualifications

• Major or Minor in EE or Physics
• Basic radar signal processing understanding (including phased array and ISAR processing)
• Basic understanding of all components of the radar range equation
• Basic understanding of electromagnetic wave propagation and interaction
• Experience in anechoic chamber or open air RF testing

In addition, in a general sense, there may also be other assignments available in planning, performing, and overseeing research, design, development, production, testing, installation, integration, sustainment, operation, and maintenance of radar equipment used for radar testing. The Engineer will may also independently perform a range of design, development, analysis, or review tasks under generally established project deadlines.
