Job Description Qualifications:

The Boeing Company is looking for an Associate/Mid-Level Electrical Engineer to join our Argon ST team in Fairfax, VA.

The Argon ST team is exploiting advanced digital apertures to formulate a next generation common modular digital system for Communication, Information Operations (IO), and Electronic Warfare (EW) functions. This system demands a state-of-the-art RF, antenna array, signal processing, and advanced data distribution solution to provide dynamic RF services, low-latency digital data distribution and processing architecture for multiple functions. These mission functions bring a broad range of challenging performance requirements in instantaneous bandwidth, sensitivity, beamforming, and latency.

  

  As the prime contractor Argon ST, A Boeing Company, has tremendous development opportunities for highly motivated problem solvers who would like to be a part of an innovative, diverse team of engineers. In developing a complex, ultra-high throughput SIGINT/Communications system, the Electrical/FPGA Engineer is expected to provide cutting edge VHDL processing solutions to advance our hardware system development through concept, design, modelling, analysis, implementation, and verification.

Position Responsibilities:

• Design, development and integration of Radio Frequency and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithms in our digital processing systems. 
• General responsibilities include requirements interpretation, algorithm design & modelling, physical & channel impairment simulations, algorithm analysis, algorithm implementation, and documentation.
• Responsible for producing algorithm subsystem analyses & modeling for technical interchanges with our customers.
• Work in a fast-paced collaborative environment developing cutting edge advanced signal processing solutions.
• Collaboration will include taking design input from system engineers and providing implementable models to both software and firmware engineers.
• Contribute to the implementation effort by both developing and supporting the test of the final solution.

This position is expected to be 100% onsite.  The selected candidate will be required to work onsite at one of the listed location options.

This position requires the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance for which the U.S. Government requires U.S. Citizenship.  An interim and/or final U.S. Top Secret Clearance Post-Start is required

  

Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):

• Bachelor, Master or Doctorate of Science degree from an accredited course of study, in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry
• 3+ experience with FPGA implementation with VHDL
• 3+ years’ experience in RF, digital signal procession (DSP) and/or optical communication
• 3+ Experience using MATLAB / Simulink
• 3+ developing software using C/C++

Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):

• Experience in Beamforming, Adaptive Filtering, Antenna Modelling, Conformal Antennas, Iterative Solvers, and Machine Learning, Communications Signals, Modulation, Signal Intelligence (SIGINT), Software Defined Radios (SDR)
• Bit true models and floating point to fixed point conversion
• Familiarity with code repositories such as GIT
• Familiarity with the Agile (SCRUM) development methodology
• The ability to obtain a government TOP SECRET clearance is desired for this position. A current Secret clearance or above is a plus.

Typical Education/Experience: 

Associate:

Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 2 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience (e.g. Master). In the USA, ABET accreditation is the preferred, although not required, accreditation standard.

Mid-Level:

Education/experience typically acquired through advanced technical education from an accredited course of study in engineering, computer science, mathematics, physics or chemistry (e.g. Bachelor) and typically 5 or more years' related work experience or an equivalent combination of technica
