In this role, you will lead the architecture and design of radar resource management and scheduling for advanced, multifunction radar systems. You will shape how the radar allocates time, energy, beams, and waveforms across search, track, surveillance, and special modes - including in heavily contested environments.This is a high-impact, system-level role ideal for someone who enjoys combining radar physics with advanced logic and optimization concepts. Autonomy and machine-learning enabled decision making (e.g., cognitive radar, queuing theory, RL/ML) are valuable but not required.\nYou will be a key member of the Radar Technologies department and report to the Senior Manager of Architecture and Systems Engineering. This role will work under the direction of the Radar Technical Lead and the Senior Manager of Architecture and Systems Engineering. It is responsible for architecture and design within the radar resource management and scheduling domain and will collaborate with other subsystem leads (DSP, Digital Beamforming, Tracking, Command & Control, Calibration) to define and realize the overall radar system design.\nGeneral Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) designs and manufactures first of a kind electromagnetic and electric power generation systems. GA-EMS’ expanding portfolio of specialized products and integrated system solutions support critical fleet, space systems and satellites, missile defense, power and energy, and process and monitoring applications for defense, industrial, and commercial customers worldwide.\nHighlights Working For GA-EMS:\nEligible for the Individual Compensation Program (ICP) bonus.\nOutstanding retirement benefits: 401(k) with company match and a company pension.\nExcellent work environment: team-centric, all contributors valued and respected.\n DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES:Lead the architecture and system-level design of radar resource management (RRM) and scheduling for advanced radar systems.\nDevelop radar schedulers that allocate radar resources (time, energy, beams, waveforms, apertures) across competing tasks and missions in real time.\nDefine tasking concepts and scheduling strategies for search, track, surveillance, and special modes, including multi-function and multi-mission operations.\nDesign search volumes, search fences, and waveform tables that coordinate search, track, and special modes under resource constraints.\nPerform system analysis and trades to evaluate resource management and scheduling approaches under varying mission scenarios, constraints, and environmental conditions.\nDevelop algorithms, models, and simulations (primarily in MATLAB) to assess performance of RRM and scheduler designs, including scenario-based simulations and Monte Carlo analyses.\nDefine and decompose system and subsystem requirements for RRM, scheduling, and associated control functions, including interfaces to DSP, tracking, digital beamforming, and command & control.\nCollaborate closely with stakeholders from other teams including:DSP to ensure scheduler designs respect waveform, processing, and latency constraints.\nTracking to support track-based scheduling, track maintenance, and track-while-scan concepts.\nDigital Beamforming to coordinate beam/time allocation, multi-beam operations.\nCommand & Control / Mission Capabilities to define operator controls, modes, search fence execution, and mission-level behaviors.\n\nSupport integration and test planning for RRM and scheduler functions, including lab, HWIL (hardware-in-the-loop), and field test events.\nAnalyze data from simulations, lab tests, and field tests to evaluate scheduler performance, troubleshoot issues, and develop design updates.\nPrepare and present technical material at internal and external technical reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, etc.) and customer meetings.\nWe recognize and appreciate the value and contributions of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences and welcome all qualified individuals to apply.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4141,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Air
