Responsibilities
- Lead systems architecture and mode development for airborne radar systems across manned and unmanned platforms
- Develop and implement advanced radar processing algorithms with focus on DSP, waveform design, and electronic protection techniques
- Drive end-to-end radar system design from concept through operational deployment, ensuring operationally-focused solutions
- Design and refine advanced airborne RF sensing modes and algorithms including SAR, ISAR, GMTI, and air-to-air tracking
- Conduct rigorous system-level analysis and requirements decomposition for airborne radar subsystems
- Provide technical leadership in software development for radar mode implementation and real-time processing
- Engage directly with government customers and operational users to understand mission requirements and translate them into technical solutions
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define architectures and concepts of operations for airborne systems-of-systems
- Create, communicate, and establish consensus for internal development roadmaps for airborne radar capabilities
- Mentor and guide team members in radar theory, systems engineering, and operational best practices
- Support programmatic and business leadership with technical expertise for strategic decision-making
