You will also design and test anti-jam systems with spatial beamforming, implement GNSS and AltNav solutions, and integrate artificial intelligence and machine learning for signal detection and modulation. Required expertise includes statistical signal processing, multi-rate signal processing, and techniques from Detection & Estimation Theory and Random Processes Analysis.

What you'll do

  • Perform technology analysis and system engineering for tactical communications and electronic warfare systems.
  • Develop algorithms for the statistical analysis of signal parameter measurements using detection and estimation theory.
  • Conduct research and applied R&D focused on modeling and implementing communication and EW systems.
  • Optimize floating-point and fixed-point computations for waveform simulation and algorithm development.
  • Implement linear and non-linear signal processing, channel estimation, equalization, and OFDM techniques.
  • Design, implement, and test anti-jam systems featuring spatial beamforming and GNSS/AltNav integration.
  • Develop AI and machine learning solutions for signal detection and modulation.
  • Translate complex technical requirements into practical solutions to meet demanding customer specifications.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Systems Engineering or a related Science, Engineering, Technology, or Mathematics field.
  • 8 years of job-related experience or a Master's degree plus 6 years of job-related experience.
  • Active Department of Defense Secret security clearance and U.S. citizenship are required.
  • Agile experience (preferred).
  • Experience in statistical signal processing, multi-rate signal processing, and DSP for mitigating/processing RF effects (preferred).
  • Experience in algorithm development for detection, estimation theory, random processes analysis, and communications theory (preferred).
  • Proficiency in waveform simulation, optimization of floating-point and fixed-point computations, and R&D for electronic warfare systems.
  • Technical experience in linear/non-linear signal processing, channel estimation, OFDM, and AI/ML solutions for signal detection.
