Radar System EngineerAre you interested in playing a critical role in fielding the US Navy's next-generation family of radars? Are you interested in developing new capabilities for legacy Navy radars? Do you enjoy working in a creative environment with an integrated team of highly motivated radar engineers, scientists, and software developers?
If so, we are looking for someone like you to join our team at APL.The Sensor Algorithms and Analysis Group is seeking a Radar System Engineer to help field the next generation of Advanced Surface Navy radars and to expand the capabilities of existing Surface Navy radars. You will help identify problems that impact mission requirements and will have the opportunity to propose novel solutions and algorithms that improve performance. You will also study and perform detailed analysis on advanced radar performance using high-fidelity physics-based simulations.
