System Development Division (SDD) is focused on delivering National Defense capabilities by driving mission-focused strategies to develop advanced technology systems enabling enduring products and solutions focused on achieving the customer vision. Our programs deliver sustainable, reliable, and cost-efficient capabilities focused on end-customer needs that function in operationally relevant environments and timeframes. SDD considers the entire lifecycle of the solution, from conceptualization and architecting, through development to deployment, while leveraging novel technologies to deliver first-of-a-kind systems.

SDD is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to support the design, development, and implementation of real-time processing solutions in software for advanced multi-function Radar systems. You will collaborate with fellow researchers and engineers on multi-disciplinary teams to develop innovative solutions related to exploration and demonstration of Radar and EW/RF convergence. In this role, you will design and implement digital signal processing over the complete signal processing chain for radar applications in various operational environments.

You will conduct performance analysis through simulations and real-world testing to validate and optimize the products you create. Since the systems SDD develops are deployed in operationally relevant environments, the products you develop need to meet standards of quality, maintainability, and reuse.

The successful candidate will have demonstrated contributions in areas such as: radar, electronic warfare, digital signal processing, systems engineering, and test & evaluation. This position requires skills in working with multi-disciplinary teams, awareness of relevant technologies, and interest in developing and delivering systems in tight time-frames.
