Principal Radar Systems Engineer

What you will do

• Researching, understanding, and leading new RF sensing implementations for advanced radar solutions. Identifying new technical approaches and working with program and technical leadership to implement these approaches.
• Decomposing customer needs/complex problems and developing system concepts and solutions.
• Effectively using tools to create, evaluate, and document solutions and clearly communicate the solution to the team, STR management, and customers, which may include generating system models in Cameo.
• Designing, directing, and when necessary, implementing cutting-edge technology in multi-function radar systems.
• Conducting performance analysis through simulations and real-world testing to validate and optimize radar performance.
• Ensuring appropriate level of rigor is applied to achieve systems that meet customer needs.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define system requirements, specifications and architectures for radars, and ensure seamless integration and interoperability of the system.
• Development and specification of simulation tools to facilitate test and verification of radar software and hardware components.

Who you are

• This position requires an Active Secret security clearance, and ability to obtain a Top Secret (TS) clearance with eligibility to support special access programs (SAP), for which U.S. citizenship is needed by U.S. Government.
• Expert understanding of and experience with entire radar systems and their principles of design, development, requirements verification, test planning, test execution, data analysis, and operations support.
• In-depth knowledge of how to implement radar modes, including transmit and receive waveform generation and signal processing.
• Proficiency in radar simulation tools and MATLAB.
• Experience in preparing and delivering high-level briefings to customers and senior management. Interacting with decision-makers and customers to translate mission needs into an end-to-end solution.
• Familiarity with the execution of technical reviews (SRRs, PDRs, CDRs, TIMs).
