Job description

  • Lead critical technical development efforts as a senior subject matter expert on RF theory, digital signal processing, and radar concepts.
  • Develop algorithms for radar signal processing techniques such as Kalman filtering, probabilistic and statistical modeling, and measurement processing from pulsed-Doppler waveforms.
  • Design algorithms that process signal returns into discriminated targets and track targets through mission timeline.
  • Define system performance requirements and ensure interface definition supports various functional components of the seeker’s and missile’s architecture.
  • Conduct analysis to optimize total system-of-systems performance or system architecture as applied to algorithmic functionality pertaining to the acquisition and tracking of targets.
  • Analyze seeker simulation data to identify areas for improvement and guide recommendations for system robustness in the presence of challenging operational environments.
  • Analyze algorithm performance with a focus on survivability, vulnerability, and susceptibility to identify necessary modifications to ensure mission success.
  • Review and modify the application of general digital signal processing techniques to the processing of reradiated signal content to ensure accurate signal characteristic identification.
  • Mentor early-career engineers and inexperienced DSP/algorithm engineers through regular knowledge transfer.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at the listed location.

This worksite participates in Boeing’s 4/10 schedule. 4/10 is a schedule in which employees work 10 hour shifts, Monday through Thursday 6 A.M. - 4:30 P.M., with every Friday off.
