Full Job Description
Paragon Cyber Solutions has an immediate opening for those ready for an exciting and dynamic career as a Signal Processing Engineer to develop the RF waveforms and signal processing algorithms that make Navy electronic warfare systems work. This is hands on engineering across the full cycle: concept and modeling in MATLAB, implementation in software and on software defined radios, bench and lab validation against real hardware, and fielded system diagnostics when something does not behave the way the model said it would. You will work directly with OEM engineering teams on system updates and configuration control.

This role sits at the intersection of RF hardware understanding and software depth. We are looking for someone who is genuinely comfortable on both sides, not an RF engineer who scripts occasionally or a software engineer who has read about mixers.

Clearance: Must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret security clearance.

Requirements

Essential Functions
  • Develop signal processing algorithms and waveforms for communications, networking, and electronic warfare applications.
  • Model, prototype, implement, and test algorithm concepts in software, carrying them from concept through validated performance.
  • Program and characterize software defined radios to implement and evaluate waveform designs.
  • Analyze RF communication protocols and evaluate complex waveforms using spectrum analyzers and related RF test equipment.
  • Develop, test, and deliver RF signal solutions for Navy EW systems.
  • Perform unit and system level testing, diagnostics, and root cause analysis to resolve fielded system issues.
  • Coordinate system updates and execute configuration management in collaboration with the OEM.
  • Maintain system and design documentation in support of configuration management and delivery requirements.


Required Experience
  • 7 years related professional experience in microwave and radio frequency (RF) design.
  • Computer design, software development, or computer networks.
  • MATLAB theory and application.
  • RF device applications and signal processing/protocol testing.
  • Strong software coding experience.
  • RF test equipment and theory.
  • Programming software defined radios.
  • Proficiency in system diagnostics and troubleshooting.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI clearance

Benefits
  • Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision).
  • Retirement Plan (401K w/ employer matching).
  • Paid Time Off & 11 Paid Public Holidays.
  • Short and Long-Term Disability.
  • Healthy Work-Life Balance.
  • Training & Development.
