Job Description

At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us.

Boeing Defense, Space and Security (BDS), is looking for an Associate or Mid-Level Electrophysics Engineer (Radar Systems Analysis) (Level 2 or 3) to join the Kent Space SEIT team located in Kent, WA (Seattle, WA).

This position will focus on developing radar analysis and algorithms in a mission-critical environment that directly empowers our defensive capabilities. You will develop and validate requirements for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems, perform trade studies, design and run tests to verify performance, support engineering compliance, and provide lifecycle root-cause analysis.

This role emphasizes algorithm design and software implementation in a cloud environment : develop and evaluate radar algorithms (signal and image processing, detection, tracking, imaging) for ground processing and translate them into production-ready code. Proficiency in Python or C++ for algorithm development, prototyping, and data analysis is required; experience with signal and image processing tool sets, real-time software constraints, and test-program design is highly valued. Strong analytical, communication, and customer-focused skills with a commitment to quality and safety are essential.

Position Responsibilities:

• Develop, implement, and test radar algorithms and translate analytic designs into production-ready code using Python (and other languages as needed)
