This position requires skills working as part of multi-disciplinary teams designing and analyzing signal processing algorithms for complex systems. Strong technical, interpersonal, communication, and technical leadership skills are desired.
What you will do:
- Develop system concepts and signal processing algorithms for remote sensing
- Work as part of a focused team to architect, develop, implement, and test RF signal processing systems
Who you are:
- Ability to obtain and retain a Top Secret security clearance, for which U.S citizenship is needed by the U.S government
- PhD in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related field. Equivalent Experience co
- Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python as well as other higher-level languages
- Strong Mathematical, troubleshooting, written, and verbal communication skills
Even Better:
- Active Top Secret Clearance
- Experience with advanced RF system concepts, multi-dimensional signal processing, waveform design, system optimization, or multi-function phased array apertures
- Experience with algorithm optimization for real time systems, especially radar or remote sensing
