Associate Seeker Radar System Engineer

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

• 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.

• 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.

• 1 year 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 in digital signal processing theory, including the application of fundamental digital signal processing techniques.
• Knowledge of linear signal theory, Fourier transforms, and communication theory.
• RF, electrical transmission, signal processing and modeling in MATLAB.
• System test experience including test design, implementation, and execution for breadboard and brass board hardware.
• Experience working in a fast‑paced, independent research and development (IRAD) environment.
• Familiarity with multiple programming languages and development environments (C++, Ada, Python, etc.) in an Agile environment.
• Experience in formal technical writing (i.e. Whitepapers, Tech‑Notes, Technical Journals, and Research Reports).
• Experience in technology readiness level (TRL) maturation of novel technologies and concepts.
