Job description

Insight Global is hiring multiple Radar and Radio Frequency Systems Engineers to join our team supporting a newly awarded DoD Program in Linthicum Maryland.

In this role, you will be primarily engaged in the development and fielding of systems for advanced dedicated and multi-function Radar and RF subsystems. You will work early in the system lifecycle by developing parametric representations, visualizations, and data-driven analyses to support sensor requirements definition and use case validation. Beyond the analysis and design phases, you will also be involved in integrating sensor modes and trackers, transitioning from digital simulation environments to sensor labs and our fleet of specially modified test aircraft. Throughout this process, you will engage with customers to balance their functional and performance requirements with other sensor functionalities, enabling true multi-function operation.

Support for performance compliant design of algorithms on next generation multifunction RF sensor

Support for novel solutions amid implementation constraints such as system interfaces, real time digital resource management, hardware limitations

Support for maturation and verification in digital simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments, including authorship to test requirements

Apply strong systems engineering knowledge to various projects

Engage in System Architecture and Concept Development to establish clear project frameworks

Conduct Candidate Technology Trade Studies to evaluate potential solutions

Develop and derive requirements to ensure project specifications align with objectives

Collaborate on Algorithm Development for system functionality and efficiency

Perform Performance Analysis to assess system capabilities and effectiveness

Execute Data Analysis to derive insights and inform decision-making

Work collaboratively with cross-disciplinary teams, including hardware, software, and firmware engineers

Encourage innovation by identifying improvements and creatively solving problems

Minimum Job Requirements include:

Basic Qualifications:

• Active Secret or Top Secret Clearance
• Bachelors degree with 5 years of experience, Masters degree with 3 years of experience or Ph.D. with 1 year of experience in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, or related technical fields; an additional 4 years of experience may be considered in lieu of a degree
• Ability to obtain Special Program Access (SAP).
• Experience in RF applications, including developing and applying models in MATLAB, Python, and/or C/C++
• Experience in tracking and algorithm development
• Experience in developing and implementing novel systems
