Lead Systems Engineer

Salary Range: 120000 to 150000 (Currency: USD) (Pay period: per-year-salary)

Responsibilities

• System Integration: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand the requirements and specifications of radar systems for defense and autonomy applications. Utilize your expertise to transform these needs into efficient and practical radar solutions. Independently derive system-level integration and test (I&T) requirements based on mission requirements and define plans, approaches, and detailed test procedures to solve complex I&T problems.
• Testing and Evaluation: Focus on operational testing (i.e., subsystems and system of system) after the radar systems have undergone engineering tests. Perform tests in various configurations, including stationary and on-the-move setups on land vehicles or ships. Implementation of electronic component interfaces and interoperability. Automation testing. Create test procedures and reports.
• Documentation and Planning: Flexibility best practices (e.g., thoughtful part and drawing numbering schemas – from component to system level – that allow for reconfigurability while not disturbing certifications). Supply chain security and sustainability (e.g., risk management strategy for parts obsolescence).
• Communication and Management: Exhibit excellent communication and presentation skills to effectively convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Efficiently manage the scope of projects and ensure clear and comprehensive requirements are met by both the team and all involved employees.  
• Technical Operations: Implement Modular Open Standards Architecture (MOSA). Integration and testing under various testing regimes. Interface control (and ICD generation).

Qualifications

•  At least a bachelor’s degree in mathematics, physics, engineering, or other technical field (advanced degree preferred).
• 3+ years of experience in systems, systems integration, system test, and/or hardware integration engineering. 
• Proficiency in MATLAB, Python, C/C++.
• Experience developing, testing, or integrating radar hardware, including RF front-end design, antenna systems, or signal processing on embedded platforms.
• Must be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. TS clearance. 

Nice To Have

• Experience with radar verification and validation, including test design and results documentation.
• Proficiency with phased array and MIMO technologies.
• Experience with AI/ML design and implementation in sensor perception layer.  
• Product development lifecycle from concept to launch, ensuring timely and quality delivery.
• Experience with customer and stakeholder engagement, including: training for the end users and operations and sustainment considerations.
• Experience with regulatory environments, including application of quality standards such as ISO9001, AS9100, PMA, NASA Parts Selection List (NPSL), various MILSTD’s, etc., EMI/EMC certification within various markets and geographies, and Export Compliance. 
• Proficiency in design for manufacturability.
