Senior Embedded Software Engineer

The Systems Development Division (SDD) delivers technology advantage into users hands by delivering capabilities focused on endcustomer needs that function in operationally relevant environments and timeframes. SDD considers the entire lifecycle of the solution from conceptualization and architecting through development to deployment while leveraging novel technologies to deliver firstofakind systems. Current efforts include programs for airborne and space RF as well as advanced testing enabled by multifunction multimodal capabilities.

SDD is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to support the design development and implementation of realtime processing solutions in software for advanced multifunction Radar systems. You will collaborate with fellow researchers and engineers on multidisciplinary teams to develop innovative solutions related to exploration and demonstration of Radar and EW/RF convergence. In this role you will design and implement digital signal processing over the complete signal processing chain for radar applications in various operational environments.

You will conduct performance analysis through simulations and realworld testing to validate and optimize the products you create. Since the systems SDD develops are deployed in operationally relevant environments the products you develop need to meet standards of quality maintainability and reuse. This position will offer the opportunity for technical growth design analysis development testing and fielding of capabilities.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated contributions in areas such as: radar electronic warfare digital signal processing systems engineering and test & evaluation. This position requires skills in working with multidisciplinary teams awareness of relevant technologies and interest in developing and delivering systems in tight timeframes. Strong interpersonal communication and technical skills are required. Applicants are expected to be selfmotivated detail oriented and have a demonstrated ability to effectively communicate.

What you will do:

• Support development of innovative radar/EW systems through implementation of digital signal processing (DSP)
• Collaborate with crossfunctional teams to understand and/or develop system requirements and specifications
• Design and implement signal processing and software solutions
• Conduct performance analysis through simulations and realworld testing to validate and optimize system performance
• Prepare documentation design specifications test plans and reports
• Communicate effectively with internal teams and stakeholders to convey technical concepts and project updates

Who you are:

• This position requires an Active SECRET security clearance with eligibility to obtain a Top Secret (TS) security clearance for which U.S. citizenship is needed by the U.S. Government
• Demonstrated experience implementing realtime signal processing solutions in C (C17 or later)
• Working knowledge of digital signal processing
• Familiarity with embedded development; experience with Xilinx MPSoC and RFSoC platforms a plus
• Experience in preparing and delivering briefings familiarity with the of technical reviews (SRRs PDRs CDRs TIMS)
• Background should include a Bachelors degree and at least 5 years of applicable experience; Masters degree and at least 3 years of applicable experience; or PhD. Equivalent experience will be considered

Nice to have:

• Applicable understanding of and experience with Radar systems and their principles of design development requirements verification test planning test and data analysis
• Experience with algorithm implementation in software for real time systems especially radar and/or remote sensing
• CUDA experience preferred
• Proficiency in radar simulation tools (MATLAB)
• Capable of working in a team environment and interacting with team members to ensure effective communication and alignment including mentoring of junior engineers
• Active Top Secret clearance
• Applicable knowledge of target detection
• Applicable domain experience in one or more of the following areas: Electronic Warfare Antenna Apertures Sensor Resource Management LargeScale Platform Test Systems Cyber Physical Systems Open System Architectures (UCI OMS COARPS)

Required Education:

• Bachelors Masters or PhD in Electrical Engineering Aerospace Engineering Applied Mathematics Physics Radar Systems or related technical field
