Description
The Boeing Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) program area is working on several new development efforts for the Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3) RF seeker and is looking for an Experienced Seeker Radar Engineer to support these efforts. This position is located at the Boeing Jetplex facility in Huntsville, Alabama.
The PAC-3 Seeker team is a cross-functional, highly skilled, motivated group that focuses on safety, execution, LEAN manufacturing, and business practices to secure their future and drive their product to be the seeker of choice for the PAC-3 program and future generations of weapon systems.
Responsibilities:
- Develop algorithms for radar signal processing techniques such as Kalman filtering, probabilistic and statistical modeling, and measurement processing from pulsed-Doppler waveforms.
- Design algorithms that process signal returns into discriminated targets and track targets through the mission timeline.
- Define system performance requirements and ensure interface definition supports various functional components of the seeker's and missile's architecture.
- Conduct analysis to optimize total system-of-systems performance and/or system architecture as applied to algorithmic functionality pertaining to the acquisition and tracking of targets.
- Conduct analysis on seeker simulation data to identify areas of improvement and guide recommendations for system robustness in the presence of challenging operational environments.
- Review and modify the application of general digital signal processing techniques to the processing of reradiated signal content to ensure accurate signal characteristic identification.
- Support the tactical implementation of algorithm designs into Ada or C++ software.
Requirements:
- Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement.
Preferred Qualifications:
- 3 years of experience in Digital Signal Processing/Radar/Digital Communications algorithms and techniques.
- Experience with MATLAB for data analysis, prototyping, and/or modeling and simulation.
- Experience in digital signal processing theory, including the application of fundamental digital signal processing techniques.
- Knowledge of linear signal theory, Fourier transforms, and communication theory.
- RF, electrical transmission, signal processing and modeling in MATLAB.
- System test experience including test design, implementation, and execution for breadboard and brassboard hardware.
- Experience working in a fast-paced, independent research and development (IRAD) environment.
- Familiarity with multiple programming languages and development environments (C++, Ada, Python, etc.) in an Agile environment.
- Experience in formal technical writing.
- Experience in technology readiness level (TRL) maturation of novel technologies and concepts.
Benefits:
- Competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities.
- Health insurance, flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts, retirement savings plans, life and disability insurance programs, and a number of programs that provide for both paid and unpaid time away from work.
