Systems Engineering C++ (Programming Language) Network Interface Controllers MATLAB Data Driven Tests SAP (Applications) Sensor Fusion Signal Processing Software Requirements Analysis

Job description

This position is primarily engaged in the development and fielding of target tracking and sensor fusion systems for advanced multi-function RF subsystems. Key features of operation include analyzing, shaping, and relating data from a wide variety of modes, such as: long-range search and track Radar waveforms and electronic surveillance measure returns.

Early in the system lifecycle, Principal systems engineers develop parametric representations, visualizations and data driven analysis to support sensor requirements definition and use case validation. Progressing past analysis and design, Northrop Grumman Systems Engineers also support the integration of sensor modes and trackers from digital simulation environments to sensor labs to our on-site fleet of specially modified test aircraft. Throughout this process, our Systems Engineers engage with our customers to balance their functional and performance requirements with other sensor functionality to enable true multi-function operation.

Operates as a core individual contributor responsible for the sustained performance and minor adaptation of established algorithms and systems.

Execute technical tasks under general supervision, focusing on maintaining existing functionalities and making incremental improvements within clearly defined boundaries.

Ensures current systems meet performance objectives by leveraging existing documentation, such as defined Interface Control Documents (ICDs).

Utilize foundational skills in MATLAB and C++ for basic analysis and code modifications.

Requirements

  • Bachelors degree with 8 years of experience, master’s degree with 6 years of experience or Ph.D. with 4 year of experience in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or related technical fields; an additional 4 years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.

  • A current/active U.S. Government Secret Clearance is required for this position.

  • Ability to obtain Special Program Access (SAP) prior to start

  • Experience with multi-target tracking, adaptive processing, or sensor fusion algorithms

  • Experience with MATLAB or equivalent programming/analysis languages

  • Experience with RF signals processing or RF applications

  • Experience with working knowledge of systems engineering principles and processes and effective communication skills. * A current/active U.S. Government Top Secret Clearance

  • Master’s Degree or PhD in a STEM discipline including electives in radar techniques and signal processing.

  • Has been previously approved for special access programs.
