What are the responsibilities and job description for the Junior Radar Modeling Engineer position at Axient LLC?
Check out this NEW Opportunity with Axient!
SEG supports the US Navy and Missile Defense Agency (MDA) by performing trade studies, design prototyping, and analysis of radars, EO/IR sensors, seeker systems, electronic warfare systems, and weapon systems. We are seeking a junior radar systems modeling engineer to support the development and execution of radar and/or RF seeker simulations, add new capabilities to existing simulations, and deliver the simulations to both support internal analysis and as inclusion in deliverable simulations to our government customers and end-users. The engineer will be responsible for understanding customer requirements, demonstrating the capability to customers and stakeholders, and potentially leading a team of engineers and software developers to design and develop these simulation solutions. This role offers an excellent opportunity to work with experienced engineers and develop expertise in radar systems, electromagnetic modeling, and advanced signal processing.
What you will do...
The engineer will be expected to prioritize new simulation tool capabilities while maintaining existing ones. The ideal candidate has 3 years of radar systems engineering experience, including radar system modeling and simulation, design, test, and analysis.
Skills you will need...
Required Skills:
- The candidate must be a US citizen and have a background that would permit the U.S. Department of Defense to issue a Secret clearance.
- Candidates must possess at least a Bachelor of Science degree in a technical discipline such as Engineering, Physics, or Mathematics.
- 0-4 years of experience
- Fundamental knowledge of radar signal processing techniques and concepts
- Experience or coursework in sensor systems, electromagnetic theory, or digital signal processing (DSP)
- Proficiency in MATLAB for modeling, simulation, and data analysis
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work independently and in a team-oriented environment
Desired Skills and Experience:
- Experience modeling radar systems that support MDA and Navy missions
