Mid-Level Radar Systems Engineer

Mid-Level Radar Systems Engineer at BOEING summary:

The Mid-Level Radar Systems Engineer at Boeing is responsible for developing and implementing radar signal processing algorithms to support the Patriot Advanced Capability PAC-3 missile system. The role involves designing, analyzing, and optimizing seeker radar performance, conducting system simulations, and supporting software implementation in languages such as Ada and C++. Candidates must have a relevant engineering degree, 5+ years of signal processing experience, and an active U.S. security clearance, working 100% onsite.

Job Description

At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.

The Boeing Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) program is working on several new development efforts for the Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3) RF Seeker and is looking for an experienced Seeker Radar Engineer to support these efforts! This position is located at the Boeing Jetplex facility in Huntsville, Alabama .

Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) PAC-3 program is an air-defense, missile system designed to intercept tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and advanced aircraft where Boeing is the original engineering manufacturer of the seeker. Boeing’s RADAR seekers provide target data to the PAC-3 missile which enables it to acquire, intercept and destroy threats using hit-to-kill technology. The PAC-3 Seeker team is a cross functional, highly skilled, motivated group embracing the beliefs that focused safety, execution, LEAN manufacturing and business practices will secure our future, all while driving our product to be the seeker of choice for the PAC-3 program and future generations of weapon systems.

Position Responsibilities:

• Development of algorithms for radar signal processing techniques such as Kalman filtering, probabilistic and statistical modeling, and measurement processing from pulsed-Doppler waveforms.

• Design of algorithms that process signal returns into discriminated targets and track targets through mission timeline.

• Define system performance requirements and ensure interface definition supports various functional components of the seeker’s and missile’s architecture.

• Conduct analysis to optimize total system-of-systems performance and/or system architecture as applied to algorithmic functionality pertaining to the acquisition and tracking of targets.

• Conduct analysis on seeker simulation data to identify areas of improvement and guide recommendations for system robustness in the presence of challenging operational environments

• Review and modify the application of general digital signal processing techniques to the processing of reradiated signal content to ensure accurate signal characteristic identification.

• Support the tactical implementation of algorithm designs into Ada or C++ software.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite. The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.

This position requires an active U.S. Active Security Clearance (U.S. Citizenship Required). (A U.S. Security Clearance that has been active in the past 24 months is considered active)

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

• Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering, Engineering Technology (including Manufacturing Technology), Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry or non-US equivalent qualifications directly related to the work statement.

• Typically 5 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience or non-US equivalent qualifications.

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• 5 years of experience in Digital Signal Processing/Radar/Digital Communications algorithms and techniques (equalization, waveform processing, detection/acquisition/discrimination, channel estimation, filter design, resampling theory, etc.)

• Experience with MATLAB for data analysis, prototyping, and/or modeling and simulation

• Experience…
