Job Purpose
RF/Radar Systems Engineers work with a team to perform advanced system and algorithm development using established systems engineering approaches. Based on detailed trade studies and requirements analyses, radar systems engineers develop solutions to satisfy system requirements and perform functions related to all aspects of radar system design. These functions include the development of the complete architectural design of radar systems, investigation and development of new algorithms to advance key sensor capabilities by leveraging signal processing techniques and novel waveform development, development of detailed simulations of algorithms and systems for design verification or to facilitate operational software development, the design of sensor modes that maximize sensor performance, the collection and analysis of data from laboratory or flight tests, and formal verification that the final design solution meet all system requirements.
Key Responsibilities
Conducts detailed RF subsystem and system design studies, testing plans, and analysis of requirements into detailed performance design criteria in conjunction with the technical lead and direct sponsor engagement. Design and build templates to assist SMEs in providing critical system information. Conduct product or system design synthesis translating requirements into physical architectures for RF subsystems and systems of moderate complexity. Analyze RF subsystem and system functionality as defined by requirements. Define/refine internal and external interfaces for RF subsystems and systems. Develop technical reports and diagrams detailing design description or performance as defined by requirements.
Additional Responsibilities
- Present technical data to stakeholders and sponsor community, in design reviews and technical interchange meetings
- Manage all technical aspects of product or system design including directing multiple resources for large scale products or system deployments.
- Perform other duties as assigned
Required Minimum Qualifications
- Active Secret Clearance
- Experience with systems engineering processes and methodologies applicable to complex systems.
