Job Summary

Join a dynamic team of talented and inspired engineers supporting Air and Missile Defense customers on the Lower Tier and Air Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS). This program integrates state-of-the-art sensor technology with existing Army Air and Missile Defense systems, and requires in-depth understanding of radar systems and theory, performance data experience, and hardware background. As a Radar Engineer, you will play a critical role performing research and trade studies, developing and proposing algorithms, shaping and defining performance metrics, evaluating radar OEM algorithms and system performance, developing analysis tools and scripts, and reviewing technical documentation and CDRLs. You will interface directly with our US Government customers and contractor experts regularly, focusing on radar performance, algorithms, performance analysis, and related technical tasks, such as development and review of system performance requirements, PWS, and SOW technical contract language. This position is ideal for someone who is highly organized, highly experienced in radar systems, and thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced and collaborative environment. This job is seeking someone with deep subject matter expertise in radar as related to air and missile defense systems. You will participate in and represent the customers in various US Government and contractor meetings and attend contractor programmatic and technical reviews (E.g., PMR, PDR, CDR, and other meetings) to provide technical and programmatic-based system recommendations and risk assessments.
