Responsibilities

• Integrate vendor-supplied RF software models into a common C++ simulation framework and scene generation environment.
• Develop and implement math and physics-based models for RF phenomenology (e.g., RCS, environmental clutter, signal propagation, and antenna patterns).
• Develop and execute MATLAB and Python analysis scripts to evaluate signal processing algorithms, RF component models, and integrated radar system performance.

Requirements

• US Citizenship.
• Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or a related technical discipline.
• 0-2 years experience (or equivalent academic/project experience) with software development, modeling and simulation, radar systems, RF phenomenology, and/or data analysis.
• Experience using MATLAB, C++, Python, Fortran, or other programming languages to solve mathematical problems, analyze datasets, or model physical systems.
• Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to work effectively in a team environment and independently as an individual.
• Must have the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience effectively communicating complex topics.
• A strong interest or foundational experience in radar systems, electromagnetics theory, or digital signal processing.
• Experience developing and executing statistical studies (e.g., Monte Carlo analysis) using MATLAB or Python.
