*** Role Description
**** Technical Fellow, Sensor Systems – RTX BBN Technologies
** RTX BBN Technologies’ (BBN) Physical Sciences and Systems business unit is seeking a Sensor Systems Technical Fellow to lead in the growth of our unique sensing and sensor processing capabilities. Our department focuses on bridging the gap between sensing physical phenomena at the limits of detection and creating custom high-throughput, low-latency processing hardware and software systems to give those data meaning and utility.

Together with our innovative drive, we work to expand our research into new areas through extensive collaborations with internal and external partners.

This Technical Fellow will be responsible for innovating, developing and promoting excellence in technologies at the forefront of acoustic, vibrational, optical, and other sensing modalities along with the signal conversion, algorithm development, and algorithmic processing machinery to support these modalities. Beyond, developing new technologies, our Technical Fellows communicate the capabilities of our organization at all levels – from explaining the how and why of what we build for our customers and colleagues, to recruiting and mentoring our next generation of talented teammates.
