Position SummaryMake an Impact
As a Systems Engineer, you'll help develop advanced radar systems that enable the U.S. Navy to detect, track, and respond to complex threats in demanding operational environments. At Ultra Maritime, you'll work at the intersection of mission requirements and engineering execution, helping turn customer needs into systems that perform in the real world.
You'll work alongside RF, Electrical, Mechanical, Software, and other engineering disciplines throughout the system lifecycle-from requirements and architecture through integration, verification, and test. Your technical judgment will help shape system design, evaluate trade-offs, and deliver capabilities that support the warfighter.
Job DescriptionWhat You'll Do- Support the development of advanced radar and mission systems for Navy applications.
- Translate customer and mission needs into system requirements, designs, and technical solutions; develop, derive, validate, and analyze requirements throughout the system lifecycle.
- Collaborate across engineering disciplines from concept and requirements through system design, integration, verification, and test.
- Evaluate technical approaches and system-level trade-offs with the Project Engineer, balancing performance, risk, cost, schedule, and technical feasibility.
- Analyze system performance and engineering data to evaluate system behavior and inform technical decisions.
- Support integration, verification, and test of complex hardware and software systems, including test planning and procedure development.
- Work with advanced digital signal processing hardware and software algorithms to support radar system performance.
- Contribute to the evaluation and development of technologies and architectures supporting future Navy capabilities.
