What you'll do
Design and implement signal processing algorithms for sensor data (e.g. detection, tracking, filtering, estimation).
Develop and validate algorithms in simulation prior to hardware integration.
Support sensor hardware integration and characterize signal/noise performance.
Analyze test and field data to validate algorithm performance against requirements.
Collaborate with seeker, avionics, and GNC teams on sensor-to-system interfaces.
Maintain technical documentation in line with requirements.
Who You Are
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Signal Processing, Physics, or a related field.
Experience with digital signal processing: filtering, estimation theory (e.g. Kalman filtering), detection/tracking algorithms.
Proficiency in MATLAB/Python and familiarity with real-time/embedded implementation constraints.
Experience working with sensor data (RF, EO/IR, or acoustic) is a plus.
Strong mathematical and analytical foundation.
