Job Description:
RF/Radar Engineer Location: Huntsville, AL Clearance: Active
Secret (with eligibility for Top Secret/SCI) Position Type:
Full-Time About the Role We are seeking radar engineers focused on
the design and performance of advanced radar systems. This role
centers on end-to-end radar design - defining radar performance
across challenging operational environments through architecture
development, performance analysis, algorithm and waveform design,
and hardware prototyping. You will work on next-generation radar
capabilities, including distributed aperture architectures. This is
a hands-on technical role where analytical design decisions are
translated into radar systems and their measured performance. This
role will shape the technical direction of a first-of-its-kind
distributed aperture radar capability. Radar Design & Performance
Responsibilities Design and mature radar system architectures,
including performance analysis, algorithm and waveform development,
vulnerability assessment, and support to hardware prototypes. Shape
radar design by developing waveforms and novel algorithms that
evolve typical multifunction radar capabilities (e.g. acquisition,
track, discrimination, EP, etc.) beyond the typical monostatic
aperture topology. Perform radar and RF modeling and simulation to
support architecture trade studies and validate system performance.
Evaluate radar performance across operational scenarios, including
cluttered and contested environments. Prototyping & Evaluation
Responsibilities Conduct simulation and laboratory testing and data
collection on radar subsystems and prototype hardware. Analyze test
and simulation results to assess performance against requirements
and drive design improvements. Translate analytical results into
concrete system-level design improvements. Collaboration & Program
Execution Responsibilities Develop technical documentation and
design artifacts required to demonstrate progress and support
program milestones. Work with program leadership to ensure
technical execution remains aligned with cost, schedule, and
performance constraints. Prepare and present technical briefings
for government stakeholders, design reviews, and program
milestones. Represent radar design and performance perspectives in
technical interchange meetings and design reviews. Position
Requirements Bachelor's 3-8 years of relevant experience Additional
Requirements Active Secret clearance required (with eligibility for
Top Secret/SCI) Demonstrated ability to communicate complex
technical concepts clearly. Experience executing technical work
independently with limited oversight. Ability to operate
effectively in fast-paced, mission-driven programs.
