This is an on-site position located in Goleta, CA.

Toyon is seeking a Radar Systems Modeling and Simulation Engineer to support advanced research, development, and analysis efforts for national defense applications.

This role focuses on the development of high-fidelity RF and radar models, electronic warfare, advanced digital signal processing (DSP) algorithms, and system-level performance analysis in support of mission-critical programs.

You will work within a multidisciplinary team to design, simulate, and evaluate next-generation RF sensing and electronic warfare capabilities.

The position requires strong technical depth, disciplined engineering practices, and the ability to contribute to classified programs.

• Support system performance analysis by developing analytics through high-fidelity models of RF and radar systems
• Design, implement, and evaluate advanced algorithms for detection, tracking, discrimination
• Research and implement state-of-the-art techniques from scientific literature (e.g., IEEE, DoD technical reports)
• Develop and maintain simulation frameworks, tools, and reusable software components
• Develop and automate analysis workflows using Python, MATLAB, or C++

• M.S. or Ph.D. in computer science, engineering, math, or a physical science, and 5 years of relevant experience
• Strong programming skills in Python, MATLAB, or C++ for simulation automation and data analysis
• Solid foundation in electromagnetics
• Strong mathematical and analytical skills
• Experience with modeling and simulation of radar systems, radar signal processing, or electronic warfare
• Experience with advanced radar concepts such as: MIMO radar architectures, Orthogonal waveform design and analysis, Direction of Arrival estimation techniques (e.g., MUSIC, ESPRIT), Beamforming and adaptive beam steering, Bistatic radar geometries and processing
