What you need

  • PhD, MS, or BS in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related technical discipline
  • 2-5+ years relevant experience
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret security clearance
  • Strong programming skills in MATLAB, Python, C/C++, or similar scientific computing languages
  • Strong mathematical, analytical, troubleshooting, written, and verbal communication skills
  • Experience developing, implementing, testing, or analyzing signal processing, optimization, or machine learning algorithms

Nice to have

  • Active Top Secret security clearance
  • Experience with radar systems, RF remote sensing, electronic warfare, or communications systems
  • Experience with adaptive signal processing, waveform design, multidimensional signal processing, resource management, or system optimization
  • Experience developing algorithms for real-time or embedded systems
  • Experience with modeling and simulation, algorithm integration, and system test and evaluation

Worth weighing

  • Full-time salary range is $139,000 - $170,000, but actual offers depend on various factors including experience and security clearances.
  • The role requires U.S. citizenship for security clearance, which may limit some candidates.
  • The position involves working on advanced technologies related to national security, which may entail a high-pressure environment.
