Title: Radar Exploitation Scientist @ Northridge, CA
Terms of Hire: Full time.
Job Responsibilities
SUMMARY:
Looking for a highly motivated, technically talented, and intellectually agile individual able to support a broad range of Radar programs and initiatives across the company. The Radar Exploitation Scientist will conduct research and development activities focused on passive and active Radio Frequency (RF) sensor technology exploitation that address the challenging mission requirements and emerging needs of our IC and DoD customers, both for existing systems and systems under development. Activities cover algorithm development and concept design for ground-based, shipboard, airborne, and space-based RF systems. Technical challenges cover a broad range of disciplines including novel waveforms that enable multiple missions, simulation and performance modeling, and optimal processing approaches. The successful candidate will be a key player in developing radar solutions critical to national security.
Primary responsibilities:
Researches, designs, develops, and verifies RF signal and image collection systems, and defines and develops processing and dissemination computer algorithms. Develops requirements analysis, system architecture, and integrates new signal and image capture and processing technology systems. Designs, develops, and analyzes systems for the extraction of information from sensors. Systems utilization includes implementation of signal and image processing with advanced computer architectures.
Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering or related technical discipline, with no less than 2 years relevant radar experience.
5-9+ years of experience in industry with BS/BA - 3-7+ years of experience in industry with MS/MA - 0-4+ years of experience in industry with PhD
