Electronics Engineer

About the role

We are seeking an Electronics Engineer to support our work with the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in Adelphi, MD. The Electronics Engineer will design, develop, and test RF and/or microwave systems architecture, components, and products. You will apply engineering theories and research techniques in the investigation and solution of highly complex and advanced technical problems on the forefront of new and existing Electronic Warfare (EW) technologies and Software Defined Radio (SDR) sensor systems.

Responsibilities

• Apply advanced signal processing concepts to problems in RF systems, radar sensing, and communications.
• Analyze, model, and interpret complex waveforms and sensor data, including developing or adapting algorithms for detection, estimation, classification, and interference mitigation.
• Support research efforts in areas such as adaptive filtering, spectral analysis, time-frequency methods, compressive sensing, and statistical signal processing.
• Conduct exploratory R&D alongside researchers in physics, mathematics, and related science disciplines.
• Participate in designing and evaluating RF system architectures including receivers, transmitters, antennas, and novel sensing modalities.
• Assist with algorithm prototyping in software environments such as MATLAB, Python, or C/C++, and evaluate performance with laboratory RF equipment.
• Work closely with multi-disciplinary teams on radar, EW, and next-generation communications concepts.
• Prepare technical reports, presentations, and data packages to document methodology, results, and recommendations.

Requirements

• Master’s degree from a top-100 accredited institution in physics, mathematics, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, computer science, signal processing, or related fields.
• 3 years relevant experience with Master’s degree from a top-100 accredited institution in physics, mathematics, applied mathematics, electrical engineering, computer science, signal processing, or related fields.
• Submission of unofficial transcripts with undergraduate GPA of 3.25 or higher and graduate GPA of 3.75 or higher
• Background in signal processing theory or research.
• Experience in RF systems, radar, communications, or related electromagnetic systems.
• Proficiency in mathematical modeling and algorithm development.
• Strong communication (both written and verbal) skills.
• Ability to work independently and in a team environment.
• US Citizen the ability to obtain a clearance
