RF Designer

Roles & Responsibilities: This position is primarily engaged in the development and fielding of radar modes for advanced multi-function RF subsystems. Key modes of operation include synthetic aperture radar for ground imaging applications, electronic protection to defeat the most advanced adversary electronic attack, long-range search and track waveforms to provide critical situational awareness to our customers. Early in the system lifecycle, systems engineers develop parametric representations, visualizations and data driven analysis to support sensor requirements definition and use case validation.Progressing past analysis and design, Northrop Grumman Radar Systems Engineers also support the integration of radar modes from digital simulation environments to radar lab s to our on-site fleet of specially modified test aircraft. Throughout this process, Radar Systems Engineers engage with our customers to balance their functional and performance requirements with other sensor functionality to enable true multi-function operation.Systems engineer will work with only general oversight from advisory engineers and mentors to independently solve technical challenges. Principal engineers have frequent interface across discipline and organizational boundaries as well as customer interaction through presentations and working group meetings. Key Qualifications:- Active or ability to obtain a DoD Secret security clearance prior to starting - Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics or Mechanical Engineering with 5 years of related experience (see position summary) or (3 years related experience with a Master's Degree, 0 with a PhD).- Experience with MATLAB or equivalent programming/analysis languages - Experience with RF signals processing Preferred Qualifications: - DoD Top Secret Clearance- Master's Degree with a focus on signal processing or RF applications- Experience with C/C- Previous experience with radar waveform, digital beamforming, adaptive processing or algorithm development.
