RF/Radar Systems Engineer

Job Description

Job Description

Position Description:

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, the engineer develops solutions to satisfy system requirements and performs functions related to all aspects of radar system design.

The Role functions include developing the complete architectural design of radar systems; investigating and developing new algorithms to advance key sensor capabilities through signal processing techniques and novel waveform development; developing detailed simulations of algorithms and systems for design verification or to support operational software development; designing sensor modes that maximize sensor performance; collecting and analyzing data from laboratory or flight tests; and formally verifying that the final design solution meets all system requirements.

Key Responsibilities:
• Conduct detailed RF subsystem and system design studies, testing plans, and analysis of requirements into detailed performance design criteria, working with the technical lead and engaging directly with sponsors.

• Design and build templates to assist subject matter experts 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 and refine internal and external interfaces for RF subsystems and systems.

• Develop technical reports and diagrams detailing design description or performance as defined by requirements.

Employer’s Preferred Qualifications:

• Active Secret clearance – Preferred.

• Experience with military RF systems and subsystems.

• Experience working with RF systems operating at frequencies up to at least 20 GHz.

• Experience with modeling and simulation of electronic warfare or radar systems.

• Knowledge of, or experience with, model-based systems engineering.

Additional Position Information and Skills:

• The position requires the ability to obtain and maintain an active security clearance. NOTE: An active Secret clearance is listed as a preferred qualification, IT IS NOT REQUIRED BUT MUST HAVE THE ABILILTY TO OBTAIN AND MAINTAIN IT.
• The focus of this Role is predominantly on the research, development, testing and deployment of embedded electronic and electromechanical systems, providing sponsors with technological solutions in Electronic Warfare, command and control, communications, avionics, entertainment, health monitoring and other applications.
• RF hardware design and integration
• Up/down-converters, spectrum and network analyzers
• RF front-end design (LNAs, filters, power amplifiers, local osci
• Travel – Less than 10%
• 100% Onsite in Atlanta, Georgia

Required Minimum Qualifications and Education:

• Experience developing, integrating and testing RF hardware designs and physical RF interfaces.

• Experience designing front-end RF systems, including LNAs, filters, RF power amplifiers, local oscillators and mixers.

• Experience using and designing RF up-converters and down-converters.

• Experience with RF test equipment, including spectrum analyzers and network analyzers.

• Experience with RF systems engineering.

• Understanding of radar and electronic warfare principles.

• Five years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.

• Three years of related experience with a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering.

• A Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, with no prior experience required.

Relocation Assistance is Available from the Employer.
