Scientist, Signal Processing will define and mature signal- and mission-processing capabilities for evolving multi-mission payload architectures within the Agile Missions portfolio. The role involves designing and developing algorithms for time-frequency analysis, detection, estimation, optimization, sensor fusion, data association, geolocation, and tracking. The individual will build models and simulations to assess performance metrics like latency and resource use while collaborating with firmware, software, and systems integration teams to transition algorithms into programmable logic or embedded software. Required expertise includes digital signal processing, communications theory, and specialized areas such as array signal processing, radar signal processing, electronic warfare, or machine learning. Technical proficiency in MATLAB, Simulink, Python, C, or C++ is preferred. The work focuses on solving complex technical challenges for multi-mission payloads and developing on-orbit edge processing solutions to ensure operational readiness.
