As a Radar Systems Engineer, you will play a critical role in developing and maintaining radar specifications in alignment with established systems engineering processes. You will ensure that system capabilities and requirements are effectively flowed down from the System Specification through the Radar System and Subsystem Specifications, maintaining close alignment with design and verification teams.

Key responsibilities include:

• Developing, reviewing, and submitting for approval changes to Radar Performance, Functional, Hardware, Interface, Environmental, Manufacturing, and Fabrication Requirements, leveraging Radar Software Capabilities.

• Supporting concept development, testing, integration, and verification activities.

• Coordinating efforts between design, software, and systems requirements teams to ensure seamless execution.

This role is vital in driving innovation and ensuring the successful delivery of cutting-edge radar systems.

What You Will Do

• Generate specification changes that reflect the new and obsolescence development programs related to radar upgrades and maintenance.

• Collaborate with Software and Systems Test teams and the USG customer on radar capabilities driven by new hardware and algorithm development.

• Provide technical oversight for the execution of Radar Systems Requirement Development.

• Collaborate with the Systems Engineering Lead and Chief Engineers to ensure that the Hardware, Software, and System Requirements are all being met in a consistent manner.

• Support Independent Research and Development and other sources of internal funding for future Radar capability upgrades and innovations.

• Support internal and external Program and Gate Reviews including Systems Requirements Reviews, Preliminary Design Reviews, Critical Design Reviews, and Test Readiness Reviews.  Included is supporting the Independent Reviews (IRs) that precede each gate.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Typically requires a degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) and a minimum of 5 years of prior relevant experience.

• Experience with one or more of the following areas: requirements development, concept development, integration, testing and verification, specification development, tactical air defense systems, and/or software development.

Qualifications We Prefer

• Existing DoD Secret Clearance with the ability to travel domestically and internationally.

• Strong radar knowledge and expertise in testing and implementation

• Comprehensive experience in the product development life cycle and radar systems, including waveform design and signal processing algorithms.

• Proven ability to interface effectively with external customers and make challenging technical decisions while setting priorities.

• Familiarity
