Job Description

Job DescriptionJob DescriptionRF/Radar Engineer - Principal/Senior PrincipalPhased n Research is seeking a Principal or Senior RF/Radar Engineer to support U.S. Army radar Modeling and Simulation (M&S) programs. You will serve as the radar domain expert on a team of M&S software engineers, providing the systems engineering depth, performance analysis, and technical credibility needed to ensure simulation tools accurately represent real-world radar behavior. This role is less about writing simulation code and more about knowing what the simulation needs to get right, and why.Primary Customer:This effort directly supports the Program Manager Search, Track, Acquire, Radiate, and Eliminate (PM STARE).Radar Systems & Performance Analysis:Define and assess radar system performance across operationally representative scenarios including detection, tracking, discrimination, waveform behavior, and electronic protection.Develop radar performance analyses and trade studies to inform Army program requirements and architecture decisions.Evaluate M&S outputs against analytical predictions and empirical data; identify simulation fidelity gaps and communicate findings clearly to the software development team.Develop and validate radar signal processing algorithms and waveform designs, providing the software team with well-defined, implementable specifications.Assess radar performance in challenging environments including dense clutter, ECM, and multi-target engagements.M&S Support & Validation:Provide radar domain expertise to support the development, validation, and accreditation of radar M&S tools for U.S. Army customers.Author and review model specifications, simulation validation plans, and V&V documentation grounded in radar physics and systems engineering principles.Use MATLAB and Python to prototype radar algorithms, verify signal processing behavior, and produce reference outputs for software team validation.Support integration and performance testing of simulation systems by defining acceptance criteria and reviewing test results from a radar systems perspective.Program & Customer Support:Serve as the senior radar technical resource in supporting leadership with engagements with U.S. Army customers, supporting TIMs, design reviews, and program milestones.Translate customer requirements into clear radar system specifications and M&S development tasks for the engineering team.Produce technical documentation, requirements artifacts, and briefings that demonstrate program progress and support government reviews.Mentor junior engineers on radar systems fundamentals and M&S methodology.Required Qualifications:Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, or closely related STEM field.10+ years of directly relevant radar or RF systems experience.Active Secret clearance; eligibility and willingness to pursue Top Secret/SCI.Demonstrated experience in radar system design, performance analysis, or algorithm and waveform development.Proficiency in MATLAB and/or Python for radar signal processing, simulation, or algorithm prototyping.Strong written and verbal communication skills; proven ability to present technical radar concepts to both engineering teams and government customers.Ability to work independently, drive technical tasks to completion, and operate effectively in fast-paced, mission-driven programs.Preferred Qualifications:Master's degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Mathematics or related STEM field.Direct relevant radar or RF systems experience.Experience with C++/CUDA software optimization and high performance computing.Active TS/SCI clearance.Prior experience supporting U.S. Army radar programs or other DoD M&S efforts.Background in missile defense, air defense, or ground-based radar systems.Working knowledge of C++ in a radar or signal processing context.Familiarity with software development workflows including version control, CMake, or containerization tools such as Docker or Podman.
