Job summary

CHAOS Industries is seeking a Modeling & Simulation Engineer for Radars to develop and validate physics-based radar models and to integrate them into SIL, SITL, and HITL environments. You will work across analytical, behavioral, measurement-level, and RF chain models with radar-architecture and signal processing teams.

You will perform trades, uncertainty quantification, and design-of-experiments to support mission-critical decisions.

Qualifications

• Experience with signal- or IQ-level radar simulation.
• Experience in radar detection, measurement generation, discrimination, or signal processing.
• Experience with radar tracking, estimation, data association, or sensor fusion.
• Experience with RF propagation, clutter, interference, or electronic protection.
• Strong programming ability in MATLAB, Python, or C++.
• Experience with Monte Carlo simulations, sensitivity analysis, or DOE.
• Experience validating models against analytical results, lab measurements, or field data.
• Experience with Git, code reviews, automated testing, and CI workflows.

Responsibilities

• Develop, integrate, and maintain physics-based and performance-based models of radar and RF sensing systems.
• Build models at appropriate fidelity levels for design decisions and testing.
• Model radar effects such as beam patterns, waveforms, and channel behavior.
• Integrate radar algorithms and sensor models into SIL, SITL, HITL, or real-time simulations.
• Validate models against measurements, test data, and analytical references.
• Document model requirements, interfaces, and acceptance criteria.
• Produce model documentation, validation evidence, and customer deliverables.
