Radar Systems Senior Engineer - Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)

About the role

The Boeing Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) program area is working on several new development efforts for the Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3) RF seeker and is looking for a Senior Seeker Radar Engineer to support these efforts! This position is located at the Boeing Jetplex facility in Huntsville, Alabama.

Responsibilities

• Provide subject matter expertise in support of algorithm development for radar signal processing techniques such as Kalman filtering, probabilistic and statistical modeling, and measurement processing from pulsed-Doppler waveforms.
• Design of algorithms that process signal returns into discriminated targets and track targets through mission timeline.
• Define system performance requirements and ensure interface definition supports various functional components of the seeker’s and missile’s architecture.
• Conduct analysis to optimize total system-of-systems performance and/or system architecture as applied to algorithmic functionality pertaining to the acquisition and tracking of targets.
• Conduct analysis on seeker simulation data to identify areas of improvement and guide recommendations for system robustness in the presence of challenging operational environments.
• Review and modify the application of general digital signal processing techniques to the processing of reradiated signal content to ensure accurate signal characteristic identification.
• Support the tactical implementation of algorithm designs into Ada or C++ software.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited course of study in engineering, engineering technology (includes manufacturing engineering technology), chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science.
• Typically 9 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience or non-US equivalent qualifications.

Qualifications

• 5 years of experience in Digital Signal Processing/Radar/Digital Communications algorithms and techniques (equalization, waveform processing, detection/acquisition/discrimination, channel estimation, filter design, resampling theory, etc.).
• Experience with MATLAB for data analysis, prototyping, and/or modeling and simulation.
• Experience in digital signal processing theory, including the application of fundamental digital signal processing techniques.
• Knowledge of linear signal theory, Fourier transforms, and communication theory.
• RF, electrical transmission, signal processing and modeling in MATLAB.
• System test experience including test design, implementation, and execution for breadboard and brassboard hardware.
• Experience working in a fast-paced, independent research and development (IRAD) environment.
• Familiarity with multiple programming languages and development environments (C++, Ada, Python, etc.) in an Agile environment.
• Experience in formal technical writing (i.e. Whitepapers, Tech-Notes, Technical Journals, and Research Reports).
• Experience in technology readiness level (TRL) maturation of novel technologies and concepts.
