  Develop concepts of operations (CONOPS) for radar systems in support of mission needs.
• Radar Algorithm & Analysis:
  Perform radar processing algorithm development and conduct statistical and numerical analysis of radar performance data.
• Analysis Tool Development:
  Develop analysis tools to support problem identification, troubleshooting, and system performance evaluation.
• Lead Testing Efforts:
  Develop and implement test plans, procedures, integration, and verification documentation in both simulated and real-world environments.
• Troubleshoot and Analyze:
  Identify and resolve hardware, software, and system issues through detailed data analysis and debugging.
• Drive Performance:
  Collaborate with Systems and Software Engineers to develop and implement solutions that improve system performance and resolve issues.
• Modeling and Simulation:
  Develop and execute models to predict system performance and support verification and validation activities.
• Integrate Systems:
  Integrate hardware and software into tactical radar systems, evaluating functionality and operational impact.
• Collaborate and Lead:
  Work with and lead multi-disciplinary teams to achieve seamless system integration and functionality.
• Document and Communicate:
  Develop integration documentation, execute plans, analyze data, verify requirements, and effectively communicate results to leadership and stakeholders.
• Present Findings:
  Present technical findings, analyses, and solutions to leadership and customers.
• Support Missions:
  Travel as needed (up to 20%) to support mission execution at RTX facilities, test sites, vendor facilities, and customer locations.
• This role can be based out of Marlborough, MA or Tewksbury, MA.

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.
• Experience with systems software, systems hardware, systems requirements, systems integration, and/or systems test.
• Experience with C++, Python, MATLAB and/or similar programming languages.

• Experience with the design, development, and analysis of radar system and software architectures on DoD systems.
• Experience with radar processing algorithms, radar software requirements, and performance analysis, including development of supporting analysis tools.
• Experience with signal processing techniques in complex propagation environments.
• Experience developing and managing requirements using DOORS, Rhapsody, Cameo, or other digital engineering tools, including application of model-based and digital engineering practices.
• Experience evaluating radar or sensor systems using simulated environments to support verification and validation.
• Experience generating technical documentation such as test plans, procedures, or technical reports.
• Experience working in an integration lab, test facility, or field environment supporting integration and/or verification.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams and interfacing with internal and external customers, including presentation of technical results.
