This is an early-career role for an engineer with strong mathematical and physical fundamentals who wants to apply them to real recorded data from real systems. You will work under the direction of senior engineers and scientists to implement, test, and analyze signal processing and estimation algorithms - understanding what the sensor actually measured, applying processing that extracts useful information from it, and quantifying how well it worked. The role sits at the intersection of applied mathematics, physics, and software, and it rewards people who are comfortable reasoning from first principles when the data doesn't look like the textbook said it would. This is a distinct discipline from machine learning engineering, though the two teams work closely together.\nWhat You'll Do\nImplement and test signal processing algorithms including matched filtering, pulse compression, Doppler processing, beamforming, and detection processing\nAnalyze recorded sensor data to characterize system behavior, identify artifacts and interference, and validate that algorithms perform as predicted by theory\nDevelop and run modeling and simulation to generate synthetic data, verify algorithm behavior under controlled conditions, and support Monte Carlo performance analysis\nBuild analysis tooling and visualizations that make complex multidimensional data interpretable to engineers and customers\nCompare algorithm performance against theoretical bounds and against alternative approaches, using appropriate metrics such as ROC curves, detection and false alarm rates, and estimation error statistics\nAssist with translating algorithms from prototype environments into production or real-time implementations\nGather and correlate data and perform routine analysis in support of larger program objectives\nContribute data, figures, and findings to technical reports, test documentation, and presentations\nWhat You'll Bring\nBachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Statistics, or a related technical discipline and 0 + years of experience (internships, co-ops, research assistantships, and substantial academic project work count)\nSolid foundation in linear algebra, probability and statistics, and Fourier analysis\nCoursework or project experience in digital signal processing - sampling, filtering, spectral estimation, and the FFT\nProficiency in MATLAB and/or Python with NumPy and SciPy\nAbility to reason quantitatively about physical systems and to sanity-check a result against what physics permits\nClear technical writing and the ability to present analysis so that someone else can follow the reasoning\nWays to Stand Out\nCoursework or research in radar systems, remote sensing, communications, or electromagnetics\nFamiliarity with detection and estimation theory including likelihood ratio tests, CFAR detection, maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation, Cramér-Rao bounds\nExposure to Kalman filtering, target tracking, or sensor fusion\nExperience with SAR, ISAR, or other coherent imaging\nProgramming in C/C++ or exposure to GPU acceleration (CUDA, CuPy) or FPGA/DSP implementation\nExperience working with large recorded datasets and the practical problems of I/O, memory, and vectorization\nFamiliarity with software-defined radio hardware or RF test equipment\nExposure to applying machine learning methods to signal or RF data\nMaster's degree in a related technical discipline\nWhat Sets Us Apart?\nSRC, Inc., a not-for-profit research and development company, combines information, science, technology and ingenuity to solve “impossible” problems in the areas of defense, environment and intelligence. Across our family of companies, we apply bright minds, fresh thinking and relentless determination to deliver innovative products and services that are redefining possible®. When you join our team, you’ll be a part of something truly meaningful - helping to keep America and its allies safe and strong. You’ll collaborate with more than 1,400 engineers, scientists and professionals - with 20 percent of those employees having served in the military - in a highly innovative, inclusive and equitable work environment. You’ll receive a competitive salary and comprehensive benefits package that includes four or more weeks of paid time off to start, 10 percent employer contribution toward retirement, and 100 percent tuition support.\nTotal compensation for this role is market competitive. The anticipated salary range for this position based out of Dayton, OH is estimated at $70,000 to $88,000 annually. The actual salary will vary based on applicant’s experience, skills, and abilities, geographic location as well as other business and organizational needs.
