U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance, * Typically requires a bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience or an advanced degree in a related field and minimum 3 years' experience to include radar systems, software engineering, radar signal processing techniques, mathematical / radar mode algorithm development, analytic techniques and digital simulation models (DSM) * The ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. government issued Secret security clearance is required. U.S. citizenship is required, as only U.S. citizens are eligible for a security clearance Qualifications We Prefer: * An active and in-scope DOD Secret US security clearance is desired. * MATLAB and C or C++ (coding experience is required to implement algorithms into the program's system simulation). * Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) tools * Mathcad, Python, or related languages and tools * TF Navigation concepts and algorithms * Radar mode development skills including maritime surveillance, MTI, air-to-air, sense and avoid, weather detection, and terrain detection / terrain avoidance * Digital communications * Strapdown inertial navigation and transfer alignment * Target discriminators and feature extraction / exploitation * Machine-learning experience ## Description The Advanced Airborne RF Sensors department within the Space and Airborne Systems Engineering and Test Capability (SE&TC) Center has an opportunity for a Radar Systems Engineer. The Radar Systems Engineer will join our Advanced Development product line to provide radar algorithm/signal processing mode development to support distributed aperture radar programs. Mode development includes working on multi-function radar capabilities such as Airborne Moving Target Indicator (AMTI), Ground Moving Target Indicator (GMTI), maritime surveillance, sense and avoid, weather detection, terrain detection/avoidance, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), and communications. This position is an onsite role located in Plano, Texas What You Will Do: * Perform radar and communications mode design, conduct design and development of radar and communication waveforms as well as support signal processing and waveform analyses * Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams (e.g., Software, Hardware, Firmware) and Program Management to support project planning and execution. * Develop mathematical algorithms for radar signal processing, make performance predictions and analyze data received from the Radar to evaluate algorithm performance. * Manage tasks, requirements and commitments and interface with numerous disciplines * Prepare and present results in reports and briefings to internal or external stakeholders * Support program and engineering activities, including occasional travel, which is anticipated to remain below 20%. ## Related Videos - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [Robots are coming into the wild!
