This position operates in a classified environment and supports engineering analysis used to evaluate system survivability and electromagnetic performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct technical studies related to electromagnetic warfare and radar electromagnetic protection for missile defense systems.
• Develop and utilize MATLAB-based simulations to model radar signal behavior, electronic attack (EA), and electronic protection (EP) techniques.
• Implement and analyze radar signal models in the time domain at the in-phase and quadrature (I/Q) level.
• Evaluate RF propagation effects and their impact on radar and electronic warfare performance.
• Support analysis of electromagnetic threats and system vulnerabilities.
• Generate technical reports, briefings, and documentation summarizing study results and modeling outcomes.
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams to support system-level electromagnetic survivability assessments.
• Contribute to the improvement and extension of simulation tools used to evaluate radar and EW system performance.

Required Qualifications:

• 10 years of relevant professional experience in radar systems, electronic warfare, RF analysis, or related technical fields.
• Experience developing or modifying engineering simulations using MATLAB.
• Familiarity with radar signal processing concepts, including time-domain signal representations.
• Knowledge of electronic attack (EA) and electronic protection (EP) techniques.
• Understanding of RF propagation effects and their influence on radar performance.
• Ability to work effectively in a classified on-site environment.
• U.S. Government security clearance at time of hire.

Desired Qualifications:

• Experience modeling radar systems or EW interactions at the I/Q signal level.
• Experience with Simulink, Python, or C/C++ for engineering analysis or modeling.
• Background in radar system design, radar signal processing, or EW vulnerability analysis.
• Familiarity with RF link analysis, radar equation analysis, or signal propagation modeling.
• Experience supporting missile defense or other defense system programs.
• Strong technical writing and briefing skills

Our Commitment to You:

• An exciting career path with opportunities for continuous learning and development.
• Research oriented work, alongside award winning teams developing practical solutions for our nation’s security
