Parsons is seeking a RF Signal Processing Engineer to develop Modeling & Simulation (M&S) software supporting the development and sustainment of a U.S. Army Radar System Integration Laboratory (SIL). The position requires technical coordination with internal and external organizations to support requirements definition, near real-time C++ implementations of Digital Signal Processing algorithms, and coordination with teams implementing similar algorithms within MATLAB, as well as within System on a Chip (SoC) embedded solutions.

Responsibilities

• Develop algorithms for Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Digital Beam Forming (DBF), and general I/Q processing; implement these algorithms in C++ and integrate into distributed simulation environment
• Provide expertise in signal processing, particularly in the processing of radar I/Q data
• Analyze gaps and tradeoffs in existing simulations environment, and develop corresponding Courses of Action (COAs)
• Communicate proposed approaches and findings to all levels of leadership
• Collaborate in technical discussions to assist with near- and long-term system planning
• Prepare technical reports and conference papers describing findings and future work
• Write test procedures for algorithm evaluation and analysis
• Manage code quality through version control, automated software builds, and automated unit testing

Required Skills

• Bachelor's degree (STEM) and 5+ years of experience, or equivalent experience in lieu of a degree
