Job Summary:

The Airborne RF Sensors department has an exciting opportunity for a Senior Air to Ground Mode System Engineer.

The Senior Air to Ground Modes Systems Engineer will possess career experience and demonstrate technical knowledge in radar algorithm/mode techniques associated with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Sea Surface Search/Track (SSS/T), and/or Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI). Other desirable skills include familiarity with complex radar capabilities, such as active electronically scanned array (AESA) antennas, receiver/exciters (REXs), Electronic Protection (EP), radar digital signal processing electronics, pointing and stabilization measurement instruments, and control algorithms. Additionally, a robust System Engineering background with knowledge of radar architecture, requirements, modeling and simulation techniques, system analysis, and radar mode development is desired.

The Senior Air to Ground Modes Systems Engineer will work with the Lead System Engineer (LSE), Chief Engineer (CE) and IPTL (Integrated Product Team Lead) to establish program organization, schedule (IMS) and milestones, Planning Packages, Program Management Reports, and Performance Management Baselines.

This role is 100% On-Site and is based in El Segundo, California

Responsibilities to Anticipate:

• Achieve day-to-day objectives with major impact on operational results within work area.

• Participate in IPT (Integrated Product Team) meetings to ensure success of product designs and engineering changes.

• Develop mathematical algorithms for air-to-ground mode radar signal processing.

• Computer modeling and simulation of sensor physics and phenomenology

• Identify, analyze, and reconcile requirement differences across various airborne programs.

• Collect data and perform the analysis of radar performance against multiple requirement specifications (Systems Specification, Software Requirements Specification, Interface Control Document)

• Collect data and perform the analysis and resolution of critical program Problem Reports (PRs) and/or Software Change Requests (SCRs)

• Performance predictions and analysis of data received from radars on various platforms.

• Manage projects or processes within area of responsibility.

• Work autonomously to complete the tasks assigned by the Integrated Product Team Lead and/or Lead System Engineer.

• Provide guidance, feedback, and support to the mentees or other junior engineers.

• Responsible for making moderate improvements of processes, systems, or products to enhance performance of work area.
