As a Staff Radar Engineer on the Radar team, you will lead systems architecture and mode development for airborne radar systems across manned and unmanned platforms. You will be responsible for designing advanced RF sensing modes such as SAR, ISAR, GMTI, and air-to-air tracking while developing processing algorithms focused on digital signal processing, waveform design, and electronic protection techniques. The role involves driving end-to-end system design from concept to deployment, translating mission requirements from government customers into technical solutions, and mentoring team members in radar theory and systems engineering. You will utilize tools and languages including MATLAB, Python, and C++ to develop real-time systems. This position addresses the challenge of providing persistent, all-weather detection and tracking for aerial targets and ground threats while integrating software-defined radars with an AI-powered operating system for autonomous decision-making.
