RADAR Signal Processing & Algorithm Sr Staff Engineer - Dallas

Job Overview

Lockheed Martin is seeking a RADAR Signal Processing & Algorithm Engineer for its team in Grand Prairie, TX. The role focuses on developing advanced signal processing algorithms and creating high‑fidelity simulation environments for airborne RADAR systems.

• Design and develop signal processing algorithms for RF applications such as RADAR, wireless communications, and software‑defined radios (SDR).
• Model signal processing algorithms in MATLAB and Simulink.
• Collaborate with senior engineers to design wireless communication datalinks and RADAR systems for defense applications.
• Prototype hardware using software‑defined radios (e.g., Ettus USRP) and, optionally, develop real‑time algorithms in programmable logic.
• Apply RF and digital hardware design principles to co‑develop algorithms that run on datalink and RADAR hardware.

• Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering or a closely related STEM field from an accredited university (advanced degree strongly preferred).
• 8+ years of relevant experience in digital signal processing for RF.
• Expert understanding of DSP techniques for RADAR, wireless communications, and SDR.
• Strong knowledge of wireless channel propagation effects, including path loss and multi‑path fading.
• Strong mathematics skills: complex arithmetic, linear algebra, probability, and statistics.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• U.S. citizen with an active Secret Security Clearance or the ability to obtain one.

• Hardware prototyping of RF signal‑processing algorithms using software‑defined radios or RADARs such as the Ettus USRP.
• Developing real‑time algorithms in programmable logic using Simulink & Model Composer, Simulink & System Generator, or Simulink & HDL Coder.
• Understanding of RFSoC architectures, target‑embedded systems, fixed‑point data types, and RF circuit design.
• Embedded software design experience for real‑time processing and software architecture.
• Version control experience (Git/Git Lab).
• Experience with spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, and data analysis.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office tools and scripting languages such as MATLAB, Python, or Julia.
• Understanding of C/C++.

The position is onsite full‑time at a Lockheed Martin facility in Grand Prairie, TX. Lockheed Martin offers a supportive work environment, opportunities for professional development, and comprehensive benefits that invest in your future and security.
