  • Work in a highly collaborative and fast-paced environment

What you bring:

  • Master’s degree or PhD in Electrical Engineering or similar field
  • 10+ years of experience with radar systems, including substantial phased array experience
  • Thorough understanding of RF subsystems and components in the 1 GHz to 100 GHz range
  • Demonstrated experience modeling and analyzing phased array systems
  • Understanding of digital systems, signal generation, and acquisition
  • Experience with radar signal processing (secondary to system design/deployment)
