DescriptionWe are seeking a physicist, mathematician or engineer to help us develop algorithms and assess the performance of the next generation of radio frequency sensor systems for land, air, and sea-launched interceptors. You'll influence the development of powerful sensor algorithms. Dedicated teams have opportunities to tackle vital missile defense challenges. We strive to cultivate an environment of creativity and collaboration and value finding sophisticated solutions to hard problems.
As a Radio Frequency Processing / Sensor Engineer...- Your primary responsibility will be to derive requirements, perform trade studies, and analyze the performance of advanced sensor systems.
- You will develop, implement, test and verify high-fidelity, physics-based simulations of sensors and environments.
- You will act as APL's representative with sponsors and contractors and will lead teams to solve difficult problems in air and missile defense.
QualificationsYou meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...- Possess a BS in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related field.
- Have 2+ years of experience simulating or analyzing radio frequency signals, environments or sensors
- Are proficient in one or more of the following programming languages: MATLAB, C++, or Python.
- Have demonstrated experience in sponsor and contractor interactions and can communicate sponsor requirements and requests to a team
- Have the willingness to travel up to 15% of the time as needed.
