About The Position

Are you interested in playing a critical role in fielding next-generation Navy Radar/EO/IR and Electronic Warfare systems and land-based sensor networks? Do you enjoy working in a creative environment with a team of highly motivated radar engineers? If so, we are looking for someone like you to join our team at APL. We are seeking Radar System Engineers to help field the next generation of Advanced Surface Navy sensors and Land-based Cruise Missile Defense sensor networks. You will work in a teamed environment to analyze live tactical sensor data; identify and solve problems that impact mission requirements; compare to physics-based simulations that provide unprecedented realism and new levels of understanding of system performance in operationally realistic environments in the presence of the world's most challenging threats. As a Radar System Engineer, you will... Creatively apply your technical skills to identify and solve problems. Collaborate with teams of other sensor engineers, software developers, combat system engineers, and physicists. Invent, explore, and use modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities, data analysis tools, and machine learning algorithms. Apply signal and data processing tools, including machine learning, to large data sets to develop novel algorithms. Investigate and address problems due to emergent phenomenology.

Requirements

A BS in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent technical discipline with some sensor systems engineering experience.
Strong understanding of radars and/or physics-based phenomena affecting radar or communications systems.
Good interpersonal and communication skills.
Willingness to travel up to 5% of the time as needed.
Ability to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a 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.

Nice To Haves

Have an MS or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or equivalent technical discipline and 3+ years of relevant experience.
Experience with advanced DoD sensors and combat systems, particularly in the areas described above.
Have experience leading technical teams.
