Binghamton, United StatesOn-site
Responsibilities
- Enhance and maintain legacy EW and critical to simulator functionality, integrating new radar technologies and features while ensuring reliability, optimization, and stability.
- Integrate advanced radar and EW technologies, such as active electronically scanned array (AESA) radars, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), radar warning receivers, jammers, or signal intelligence (SIGINT) systems, with legacy systems to enhance training realism.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software and hardware engineers, to integrate radar and EW systems with simulator platforms, ensuring seamless operation for real-time, mission-critical applications.
- Develop and optimize EW and radar algorithms, threat models, and countermeasures, including radar signal processing and electronic counter-countermeasures (ECCM), to ensure robust performance in real-time simulation environments.
- Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues in legacy and real-time radar and EW systems, ensuring simulators meet the highest standards for pilot training in contested environments.
- Make a global impact by building radar and EW systems that empower pilots and defense personnel to train effectively and return safely from their missions.
Requirements
- What You Bring: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience). 8+ years of professional
- experience in electronic warfare systems engineering, with a strong focus on radar systems (e.g., AESA, SAR, pulse-Doppler) and their integration into mission-critical or real-time applications.
- Expertise in radar technologies, including active and passive radar systems, radar signal processing, radar warning receivers, electronic countermeasures (ECM), electronic support measures (ESM), and signal intelligence (SIGINT), as well as familiarity with communication protocols relevant to EW and radar systems (e.g., MIL-STD-1553, ARINC 429).
- Working knowledge of industry standards such as MIL-STD-810, MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-704, for airworthiness, ARINC and RTCA standards are preferred.
- Must be able to obtain and maintain an active DoD Secret or higher clearance prior to the start of employment.
