Senior Signal Processing Architect - Multi-Mission Payloads

L3Harris Technologies; Palm Bay (FL); On-site; USD 130,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

L3Harris Technologies seeks a highly skilled Scientist, Signal Processing, to mature multi-mission payload architectures with advanced signal-processing algorithms. You will work on on-orbit edge processing, sensor fusion, and geolocation across multi-domain platforms, applying rigorous verification and modeling to ensure mission readiness.

Ideal candidates hold a TS/SCI clearance, 10+ years in DSP, and hands-on experience with MATLAB/Simulink, Python, and C++.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or an equivalent technical discipline; 10+ years of relevant experience.
• Active TS/SCI security clearance.
• Ability to obtain and maintain Special Access Program (SAP) access, as required.
• Demonstrated expertise in digital signal processing and communications theory, including algorithm development and implementation in firmware or software.
• Experience in systems engineering or related engineering role supporting aerospace, space, or multi-mission payload architectures.

Responsibilities

• Define signal- and mission-processing architectures, functional flows, requirements, interfaces, and verification strategies for multi-mission payloads.
• Analyze, design, and develop signal-processing algorithms for time-frequency analysis, detection, estimation, and optimization.
• Develop multi-sensor fusion, data-association, target-geolocation, and tracking for multi-mission architectures.
• Build and use models and simulations to assess algorithm, payload, and mission-processing performance.
• Collaborate with payload, FPGA, firmware, software, systems integration, and test teams to allocate requirements and transition algorithms to implementation.
• Support integration, verification, validation, anomaly resolution, and technical-risk closure across the product lifecycle.
• Produce technical analyses and supporting artifacts for internal and customer reviews; brief results, risks, and decisions to program stakeholders.
• This position is based on-site in Palm Bay, Florida; travel may be required.
