Descrizione del lavoro

AeroVironment, based in California, seeks a mid-level Radar Exploitation Engineer to support NASIC at Wright-Patterson AFB. You will lead analytic efforts to characterize foreign missile systems and deliver high-impact intelligence products to senior decision-makers.

The role requires 3–6 years of radar analysis, strong radar fundamentals, and hands-on MATLAB/Python; U.S. citizenship and TS/SCI eligibility are required. On-site work at Wright-Patterson AFB with travel where needed.

Competenze

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Engineering, or closely related field.
• 3–6 years of radar analysis, missile systems analysis, RF signal processing, MASINT, EW, or related technical intelligence work.
• Strong understanding of radar fundamentals (radar equation, SNR, detection/tracking, antennas, beam patterns, line-of-sight propagation, CW/pulsed/pulse-Doppler/FMCW/pulse-compression).
• Experience analyzing missile kinematics, trajectories, and flight phases.
• Hands‑on experience with MATLAB and/or Python (NumPy/SciPy/Matplotlib) for signal processing, modeling, and data analysis.
• Demonstrated ability to produce high‑quality technical documentation and brief technical results to varied audiences.
• U.S. Citizenship required.
• Ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI clearance; Active TS/SCI strongly preferred.

Mansioni

• Lead characterization of foreign missile systems using line-of-sight radar data across multiple classes.
• Extract, analyze, and interpret radar-derived observables (RCS, kinematics, propulsion phases).
• Analyze time-series radar data to identify flight phases and signature features.
• Apply advanced signal processing and tracking techniques to derive parameters from radar returns.
• Produce technical intelligence products and brief findings to NASIC analysts and DoD stakeholders.
• Brief findings to NASIC analysts, DoD program offices, and IC stakeholders.
• Help develop analytic methods, models, tools, and tradecraft for radar-based missile exploitation.
