## Description

* Direct system-level design activities for advanced radar platforms, including architecture development, interface definition, and performance allocation across subsystems.

 * Evaluate radar behavior using core principles such as waveform selection, range prediction, target response, detection performance, and tracking accuracy.

 * Perform analytical studies to assess key metrics including detection range, angle estimation precision, target characterization, and interference effects in multi-radar environments.

 * Guide the integration of radar assemblies and supporting subsystems into broader product architectures, resolving cross-domain technical issues as they arise.

 * Create, maintain, and refine system requirements to ensure traceability, technical consistency, and alignment with operational needs.

 * Plan and execute verification and validation efforts throughout the development lifecycle, using analysis, inspection, demonstration, and formal testing methods.

 * Establish scalable test strategies for laboratory, integration, and field environments, and produce the associated plans, procedures, and final reports.

 * Lead indoor and outdoor radar test campaigns, coordinating instrumentation, logistics, data collection, and deployment activities in varied operating conditions.

 * Investigate performance anomalies through structured troubleshooting and root-cause analysis, and implement disciplined practices for test data storage and tracking. Requirements * Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, or a closely related technical discipline.
