Tech Stack

Description

You will own the end-to-end system engineering and integration of an airborne AESA radar, translating mission needs into performance requirements, driving supplier control, and leading verification and flight test campaigns to deliver a fully qualified sensor.

Requirements

  • Relevant degree in Electrical, Aerospace, or Systems Engineering
  • Experience delivering airborne radar (AESA/MFR) through integration, test, and operational release
  • Ability to translate operational scenarios into radar KPIs and verifiable requirements
  • Practical experience with radar modes and scheduling (search/track, MTI/GMTI, SAR/ISAR)
  • Understanding of RF integration, LO/signature-awareness, and verification testing (bench, chamber, flight test)

Responsibilities

  • Own day-to-day system engineering and integration of airborne radar (AESA/MFR) from requirements through flight test and operational release
  • Translate mission needs into radar performance requirements (detection range, RCS, coverage, track quality, latency)
  • Develop and maintain radar CONOPS and mode set (search, track, GMTI/MTI, SAR/ISAR) including mode scheduling
  • Drive antenna/aperture integration (placement, FOV, radome impacts, thermal/structural constraints)
  • Manage supplier technical control and produce program artifacts (requirements, verification matrices, test plans, performance reports)
