Experienced Radar Seeker System Engineer at Boeing in Huntsville, AL

Job description

Experienced Radar Seeker System Engineer Company: The Boeing Company 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. Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) PAC-3 program is an air-defense, missile system designed to intercept tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and advanced aircraft where Boeing is the original engineering manufacturer of the seeker. Boeing’s RADAR seekers provide target data to the PAC-3 missile which enables it to acquire, intercept and destroy threats using hit-to-kill technology. The PAC-3 Seeker team is a cross functional, highly skilled, motivated group embracing the beliefs that focused safety, execution, LEAN manufacturing and business practices will secure our future, all while driving our product to be the seeker of choice for the PAC-3 program and future generations of weapon systems. Position Responsibilities: Development of algorithms for radar signal processing techniques such as Kalman filtering, probabilistic and statistical modeling, and measurement processing from pulsed-Doppler waveforms Design of algorithms that process signal returns into discriminated targets and track targets through 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 This position requires the ability to obtain U.S. Security Clearance, for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship. An interim and/or final U.S. secret clearance Post Start is required. Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience): 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 (Desired Skills/Experience): 3 years of experience in Digital Signal Processing/Radar/Digital Communications algorithms and techniques (equalization, waveform processing, detection/acquisition/discrimination, channel estimation, filter design, resampling theory, etc.) 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 (i.e. Whitepapers, Tech-Notes, Technical Journals, and Research Reports) Experience in technology readiness level (TRL) maturation of novel technologies and concepts Conflict of Interest: Successful candidates for this job must satisfy the Company
