Radar Threat Systems- Senior Level Engineer

About the role

The Engineer or Analyst in this role perform the following:

• All-source intelligence analysis of foreign threat systems with a focus on multi-function phased-array radars and surface-to-air missile (SAM) systems.
• Analysis efforts involve system performance assessments and design postulation of major subsystems including but not limited to phased array antennas, transmitters and receivers, radar signal processors and computer algorithms/logic.
• Threat system model development to match intelligence assessments, including waveform scheduling, correlation/tracking and signal processing.
• Write technical briefings, papers and reports to reflect intelligence analysis and assessments of foreign threat systems.
• Ensure foreign threat systems are accurately characterized and modeled in technical databases such as the Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming Database (EWIRDB).

Responsibilities

• Modeling includes modeling of radar functions, threats, timeline, weapon system, clutter, EA/EP, etc.
• Radar/weapons systems analysis includes probability of detection, waveform analysis, probability of intercept, defended area, etc.
• Algorithm development includes detection processes, waveform selection, signal processing, clutter and EA mitigation, adaptive beamforming, target identification, etc.
• RF hardware includes transmitters, exciters, antennas, multi-channel receivers, high-bandwidth receivers, SOTA processors, and RF lab equipment development and integration, and software development and test.
