Job Description Kratos is seeking an experienced Signal Processor (SIGPRO) Subject Matter Expert (SME) to support the sustainment, overhaul, and modernization of the AN/SPY-1 radar system, with a specific focus on the signal processor subsystem. The SME will provide in-depth technical guidance across engineering, sustainment, and depot-level repair planning. This position plays a critical role in restoring and modernizing radar capabilities by supporting design recovery, system troubleshooting, test strategy development, and obsolescence resolution for legacy digital and analog processing architectures. Key Responsibilities: * Lead efforts to analyze and document the design and functional behavior of legacy signal processor components, including digital processing modules, interface cards, and timing assemblies. * Support design recovery and traceability efforts, working from GFI, limited technical data, or harvested hardware. * Define and support the development of prototype subassemblies, repair processes, and test capabilities to validate organic sustainment approaches. * Develop and validate functional test procedures, signal flow diagrams, and performance benchmarks. * Identify critical components at risk due to obsolescence, and support alternate part qualification, reverse engineering, or redesign as necessary. * Coordinate with systems engineers, test engineers, and OEM partners to ensure alignment with weapon system interface requirements and mission-critical timing/data processing functionality. * Provide technical input to Integrated Technical Data Packages (ITDPs), depot stand-up planning, and operator/maintainer training materials. * Ensure test and repair processes comply with NAVSEA and METCAL standards where applicable. * Serve as the technical lead for the AN/SPY-1 Signal Processor subsystem across all radar variants (D, D(V), D(MOD)). Experience and Skills Required Qualifications: * Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field. * Understanding of legacy digital processing architectures, A/D conversion, timing synchronization, and signal conditioning. * Experience with diagnostics, troubleshooting, and repair at the board and component level. * Familiarity with tools used for signal integrity analysis, logic analyzers, and boundary scan testing. * Proven ability to read, interpret, and reverse-engineer technical data, schematics, and embedded processing logic. * Experience developing or reviewing test procedures and technical documentation for government sustainment programs. * Active Secret Clearance Preferred Qualifications: * Prior work with AEGIS Combat System interfaces, SPY-1 timing architectures, or radar track processing functions. * Familiarity with DoD obsolescence mitigation strategies, including reverse engineering, emulation, and form-fit-function redesign. * Experience supporting ORDALT implementation, depot activation, or prototype validation. * Knowledge of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) practices or digital engineering toolsets. * Minimum of 5+ years of experience with radar or advanced signal processing systems, including 5+ years supporting AN/SPY-1 or equivalent phased array radar systems. Travel: ~10-20%, including to shipyards, government labs, and partner facilities. #LI-Onsite #LI-AC1 Job Benefits * Medical, Dental & Vision Insurance Coverage
