Job Description

Advances in digital processing and multi-dimensional/statistical signal processing have revolutionized many domains, including having a major influence in radars, passive sensors, and electronic warfare (EW) systems that must operate in congested electronic magnetic (EM) spectrum. Group 39 seeks an innovative researcher with background in digital signal processing or related advanced algorithm development areas that may be applied to radars, passive sensors, or electronic warfare systems. The candidate should be able to quickly learn EW and RF systems concepts and work with a diverse team of systems and mission experts to apply techniques that have practical value to the DoD community. The candidate should be able to work well in teams and is expected to effectively participate in fast-paced, multi-disciplinary teams of system design, system integration, and signal analysis engineers and scientists.

 

Candidate should be a motivated self-starter with the ability and interest to learn new application areas and leverage knowledge in physics, mathematics, or related engineering fields to solve complex problems. Significant experience with application of signal processing techniques and algorithm development is desired. Knowledge and experience with design and analysis tools such as MATLAB or equivalent is required. Knowledge and coding experience in Python, Julia, Java, C/C++, or similar tools are required. Demonstrated oral and written communications skills are necessary.

 

 

Education: Masters in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Physics or related field. In lieu of a Masters, a Bachelors degree with 5+ years of directly relevant experience.
