Radar System Design Engineer

Position Summary:

The Radar System Design Engineer will support advanced space-based ISR and ground radar mission systems by performing radar architecture definition, system-level design, and radar signal processing development. This role aligns with the requirement for Radar system design or radar signal processing expertise in Chantilly-based roles.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead radar system architecture development, deriving functional and performance requirements from mission needs.
• Develop radar waveform designs, radar modes, and associated signal processing algorithms.
• Perform modeling, simulation, and analysis of radar system performance under operational conditions.
• Support hardware-in-the-loop testing, sensor integration, and validation of radar subsystems.
• Develop technical documentation, design artifacts, performance briefs, trade studies, and algorithm specifications.
• Collaborate with systems, integration, MBSE, payload, and ISR engineering teams to ensure interface compatibility and mission alignment.
• Support customer technical interchange meetings, milestone reviews, and engineering working groups.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, or related field; Master’s preferred.· With min. 9 years of overall experience.
• 8–12+ years of experience in radar system design, radar architecture, or radar signal processing.
• Expertise in RF hardware design, payload architectures, and test methodologies.
• Experience with RF test equipment including VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators.
• Must have a TS/SCI, and be willing to obtain a poly.
