Experienced Radar Seeker System Engineer

Experienced Radar Seeker System Engineer

Company: The Boeing Company

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 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. 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 focused on safety, execution, LEAN manufacturing, and business practices to secure the future of the program.

• 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 the mission timeline.
• Define system performance requirements and ensure interface definitions support 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 acquisition and tracking of targets.
• Conduct analysis on seeker simulation data to identify areas of improvement and guide recommendations for system robustness in 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 in Engineering, Engineering Technology, Computer Science, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or an equivalent qualification directly related to the work.

• 3 years of experience in digital signal processing, radar, or digital communications algorithms (e.g., equalization, waveform processing, detection/acquisition/discrimination, channel estimation, filter design, resampling).
• Experience with MATLAB for data analysis, prototyping, and/or modeling and simulation.
• Knowledge of digital signal processing theory, including linear signal theory, Fourier transforms, and communication theory.
• Experience with RF, electrical transmission, signal processing, and modeling in MATLAB.
• System test experience, including test design, implementation, and execution for breadboard and brassboard hardware.
• Experience working in a fast‑paced, independent research and development (IRAD) environment.
• Familiarity with multiple programming languages and development environments (C, Ada, Python) in an Agile environment.
• Experience in formal technical writing (e.g., whitepapers, technical notes, reports).
• Experience in technology readiness level (TRL) maturation of novel technologies and concepts.

This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance; U.S. citizenship is required. An interim and/or final U.S. Secret Clearance after start is required.
