Lead Algorithm & Signal Processing Engineer

About the role

The Electronic Warfare and Novel Capabilities Group (EWNC) develops and delivers advanced signal processing algorithms and prototype systems for next-generation radar and electronic warfare technologies. EWNC fosters a culture of innovation and collaboration. We investigate cutting edge technologies and interface with engineers across sectors and divisions at STR and researchers at academic institutions and industry partners to develop practical and effective solutions to RF sensing and counter-sensing challenges. If you're seeking an opportunity to apply your deep technical knowledge and creativity to make a lasting impact, we invite you to join us. As a Lead Algorithm & Signal Processing Researcher, you'll have the opportunity to develop state-of-the-art algorithms and techniques for sense making and sensor decision making, from signal detection and classification, to electronic support measures, attack, and protection, to cognitive EW and more.

Responsibilities

• Design and apply cutting-edge signal processing and machine learning techniques to solve complex radar and RF sensing and counter-sensing challenges
• Design and implement models and simulations for advanced RF systems
• Lead small teams and projects
• Support business development and proposal writing efforts
• Collaborate with diverse teams to deploy cutting-edge capabilities to prototype systems
