RF Signal Processing Engineer

About This Role

Develop, implement, and analyze advanced RF signal processing algorithms for radar and electronic warfare systems to detect and protect against threats.

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and evaluate RF signal processing algorithms for radar and sensing systems
• Implement and analyze algorithms for synthetic aperture radar (SAR), including image formation and calibration
• Develop array signal processing techniques for beamforming, adaptive processing, and spatial filtering
• Apply spectral estimation methods for detection, classification, and parameter estimation
• Develop and refine direction-finding and geolocation algorithms using multi-antenna/sensor RF data
• Analyze system-level performance metrics such as resolution, detection probability, and false alarm rate
• Implement algorithms in simulation and prototype environments using MATLAB, Python, or C/C++
• Collaborate with systems, RF hardware, and software teams
• Document algorithms, models, and test results in technical reports and design documentation

Requirements

• Strong foundation in digital signal processing, probability, and linear algebra
• Hands-on experience with RF signal processing in radar, SAR, array signal processing, or direction finding
• Experience with spectral estimation techniques
• Proficiency with signal processing development tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python, C/C++)

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical field

Nice to Have

• Advanced degrees (MS or PhD)
• Experience with real-world RF data, including calibration, noise mitigation, and interference handling
• Familiarity with multi-channel or phased-array systems
• Experience transitioning algorithms from research or simulation into real-time or embedded implementations
• Knowledge of detection and estimation theory as applied to RF systems
