The candidate will set the highest ethical standards for self and others and perform other duties as assigned.
Essential Functions:
- Lead FPGA/GPU architectural design HDL coding test bench creation simulation and analysis for highperformance DSP and signal processing applications.
- Perform RF microwave and radarrelated analysis including spectrum behavior propagation effects receiver/frontend characteristics pulse parameters PRI/PW/RF measurement modulation recognition and emitter characterization.
- Apply DSP techniques including FFTs filtering detection estimation and timefrequency analysis to support system design and verification.
- Execute systems engineering tasks including requirements development (JIRA/DOORS) CONOPS definition integration planning test procedures and performance analysis.
- Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to plan and conduct system integration testing in laboratory and platform environments.
- Document system behavior anomalies and integration results following established engineering standards; verify and validate system functionality across new and legacy baselines.
- Support troubleshooting of RF chains timing/synchronization issues calibration and hardware/software interaction during system integration.
- Collaborate with customers to ensure satisfaction with system performance and to clarify operational requirements.
- Provide technical updates to management and customers contributing to schedule risk and resource planning.
- Produce end-user documentation integration reports and technical analysis packages as required.
- Work effectively in a fast-paced environment with timecritical program milestones and evolving technical objectives.
- Active Secret or recently held Top Secret/SCI security clearance with the ability to maintain.
- Ability to work occasional overtime or weekend hours if required.
Qualifications:
- Bachelors Degree and minimum 6 years of prior relevant engineering experience.
- Graduate Degree and a minimum of 4 years of prior related engineering experience.
- In lieu of a degree a minimum of 10 years of prior related engineering experience.
- Demonstrated experience with FPGA or GPUbased design including VHDL/Verilog/CUDA test benches and simulation tools.
- Demonstrated understanding of RF and microwave fundamentals including antennas receivers spectral behavior and front-end design.
- Demonstrated experience with signals analysis techniques and tools including pulse analysis modulation assessment and emitter characterization.
- Demonstrated knowledge of radar fundamentals such as pulse radar CW/FMCW LPI principles scan patterns and threat system behavior.
- Demonstrated experience in MATLAB and Python for algorithm development modeling automation data analysis and visualization.
- Demonstrated experience working with large IQ/sample data sets and developing automated processing workflows.
- Demonstrated familiarity with test equipment including spectrum analyzers signal generators oscilloscopes vector signal analyzers and AWGs.
- Demonstrated experience with SDR platforms digitizers and receiver systems.
Preferred Additional Skills:
- Active TS/SCI.
- Experience with integration and troubleshooting of complex RF or electronic warfare receiver systems.
- Experience with JIRA Confluence and DOORS for requirements and workflow management.
- Experience with advanced DSP algorithm development and implementation.
- Familiarity with systemlevel SEI LPI/LPE techniques or advanced emitter analysis methodologies.
- Experience in software integration and system-level test.
- Proficiency with standard office and documentation tools.
