Description

Are you interested in playing a critical role in fielding next-generation Navy Radar/EO/IR and Electronic Warfare systems and land-based sensor networks? Do you enjoy working in a creative environment with a team of highly motivated radar engineers? If so, we are looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.

 

We are seeking Radar System Engineers to help field the next generation of Advanced Surface Navy sensors and Land-based Cruise Missile Defense sensor networks. You will work in a teamed environment to analyze live tactical sensor data; identify and solve problems that impact mission requirements; compare to physics-based simulations that provide unprecedented realism and new levels of understanding of system performance in operationally realistic environments in the presence of the world's most challenging threats. 

 

As a Radar System Engineer, you will...

  • Creatively apply your technical skills to identify and solve problems.
  • Collaborate with teams of other sensor engineers, software developers, combat system engineers, and physicists.
  • Invent, explore, and use modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities, data analysis tools, and machine learning algorithms.
  • Apply signal and data processing tools, including machine learning, to large data sets to develop novel algorithms.
  • Investigate and address problems due to emergent phenomenology.
