RF Sensor Systems Engineer

The Sensors Division focuses on technology development for advanced sensor systems, particularly in the areas of airborne/surface-based radar, electronic warfare, underwater acoustics, hyperspectral imaging and EO/IR sensing. Within this role, we perform work at full system prototypes, experiment campaigns and technology component development. Particular development roles within the Sensors Division include RF analog/digital hardware, acoustic hardware, signal processing algorithms, machine learning algorithms, tracking/fusion, as well as real-time embedded processor implementation.

STR is hiring a Sensor Systems Engineer who will work with a team to perform advanced system and algorithm development using established systems engineering approaches. Based on detailed trade studies and requirements analysis, our Sensor Systems Engineer will develop modern solutions to satisfy current system requirements as well as future challenges and perform functions involved in all aspects of design.
​
Responsibilities Include:
  • Investigating new algorithms for the advancement of signal processing and sensor design
  • Developing simulations of algorithms and systems for design verification or to enable operational software development
  • Designing sensor modes that maximize sensor performance?
  • Development of advanced RF hardware systems (radar, SIGINT, communications)
  • Research new RF sensing and processing concepts
  • Develop RF hardware models (system level, component level)
  • Work with measured RF sensor data to develop system models and conduct performance analyses for the purposes of design trades
  • Develop RF propagation and scattering models


​Required Qualifications:
  • U.S. Citizen with the ability to obtain a Security Clearance
  • MS or BS degree in electrical engineering, physics, applied mathematics or related technical discipline
