Role summary
STR is seeking a Principal Radar Systems Engineer to lead the architecting, design, development, and implementation of advanced radar systems for defense applications. This role involves collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams, interpreting customer needs, and potentially directing development efforts. Responsibilities include researching RF sensing, decomposing complex problems, designing and implementing cutting-edge technology, conducting performance analysis through simulations and testing, and defining system requirements and architectures. The ideal candidate will have an expert understanding of radar systems, proficiency in simulation tools like MATLAB, and experience across the Systems Engineering Lifecycle. Familiarity with Digital Engineering/MBSE and programming languages like C, C++, or Python is preferred. An active Secret security clearance is required.
STR is focused on delivering National Defense capabilities by driving mission-focused strategies to develop advanced technology systems enabling enduring products and solutions focused on achieving the customer vision. Our programs deliver sustainable, reliable, and cost-efficient capabilities focused on end-customer needs that function in operationally relevant environments and timeframes. We consider the entire lifecycle of the solution, from conceptualization and architecting, through development to deployment, while leveraging novel technologies to deliver first-of-a-kind systems.
The Systems Development Division (SDD) within STR delivers technology advantage into users’ hands and is seeking a Principal Radar Systems Engineer to support/lead the architecting, design, development, and implementation of radar systems that meet challenging customer needs. You will collaborate with fellow researchers and engineers on multi-disciplinary teams to interpret and understand customer objectives and develop innovative solutions. You may direct and/or lead development efforts and junior engineers, as needed, in areas of focus including exploration and demonstration of Radar and EW/RF convergence. As a Systems Engineer, you will apply a broad perspective and understanding of the elements that comprise a complete, functioning radar system to architect solutions, be directly involved with implementing the solutions (hands-on engineering), and guide teams spanning software, hardware, integration and test. You should have experience defining leading teams, architecting complete radar systems, and working across the Systems Engineering Lifecycle, with familiarity in Digital Engineering/MBSE.
Strong interpersonal, communication, technical, and peer-leadership skills are required. Applicants are expected to be self-motivated, detail oriented and have a demonstrated ability to effectively communicate with all levels of management and individual contributors on the program team through strong written and verbal communication skills. You will be joining a dynamic team working across multiple disciplines with opportunities to further expand your knowledge and grow your career.
