Raytheon Missiles & Defense (RMD) is searching for an Advanced Electronic Warfare (EW) Signal Processing Engineering Fellow to help guide and foster the development of advanced RADAR Signal Processing analysis and solutions in order to understand, model, create, and drive performance of our radar systems in electronic attack (EA) environments as a member of the System Design & Performance (SD&P) Directorate in Tucson, AZ.
The Advanced Electronic Warfare Signal Processing Engineering Fellow will be expected to leverage a deep understanding of RADAR hardware design and signal processing expertise, waveform analysis and design to address new challenges and develop new solutions in the design, implementation, integration, analysis, and modeling of missile RADAR systems in EA limited environments, to enhance current Electronic Protection (EP) techniques, and to develop new innovative EP techniques. Familiarity with defense industry processes (including design, test, and procurement) and tactical missile system knowledge is necessary. Candidate is expected to immerse in the C++ implementation of our tactical software and simulations during the first year. Responsibilities include design, modeling, and analysis of RADAR signal processing algorithms in missile components and systems engineering applications. As an Engineering Fellow, responsibilities also include mentoring apprentices, collaborating across programs, advising senior leadership, establishing technology roadmaps, representing SD&P as a key spokesperson, and a continued involvement in the technical fields associated with EA/EP/EW outside of the company.
