Electromagnetic Modeling & Simulation Engineer Jobs

Radar Cross Section Engineer

Are you interested in working with innovative tools to advance radio frequency (RF) signature analysis capability? Do you enjoy working in a creative environment with an integrated team of highly motivated radar engineers, scientists, and software developers? If so, we are looking for someone like you to join our team at APL! In this role, you will participate in evolving the state of the art in high fidelity RF signature modeling.

You will work on a team utilizing high-performance computing environments to develop detailed signature characterizations that are used in a variety of applications. In addition, you will collaborate with model users and system engineers to enable best use of products.

As a Radar Cross Section Engineer, you will:

• Use computational electromagnetics codes to develop radio frequency signatures of various radar targets.
• Participate in developing and testing advances in computational electromagnetics codes and the development of new models of various phenomenologies.
• Create and/or modify Computer Aided Designs (CAD) of objects to be used in various computational electromagnetics codes.
• Plan and conduct RCS measurements of various test articles at national facilities.

Qualifications You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you have a:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent technical degree
• At least 2 years of engineering-related experience in computational electromagnetic theory and computational methods/mathematics
• Familiarity with Matlab, Python, or similar mathematical analysis tools
• Good interpersonal and communication skills
• Willingness to travel up to 5% of the time if needed
• Ability to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Top Secret level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

You 'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you have a:

• Master's or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent technical field
• 3+ years of professional experience in radar, aerospace, RF signatures, or other technical-related systems engineering domain
• Strong background in Matlab, Python, or similar mathematical analysis tools
• Leadership experience or interest in assuming leadership roles
• Experience in CAD software (Pro-Engineer, AutoCAD, etc.).
• Current TOP SECRET clearance.
