Senior RF Signal Processing Engineer

Responsibilities:

• As a key contributor to the Spectrum Sensing Team, the Senior Engineer will play an integral role in developing and redefining the passive radar system into a distributed spectrum sensing system, with a focus on software and algorithm development. The day-to-day will be diverse, engaging, and intellectually stimulating, with a direct impact on pushing the boundaries of sensing technology and application. Key responsibilities include:
• Develop, implement, and refine advanced DSP algorithms to detect, identify, and track RF signals
• Integrate and test signal processing software with underlying RF/SDR hardware and host processing platforms
• Minimum Requirements:
• B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field
• 5+ years of relevant development experience
• Experience working with RF sensing systems (active or passive) and advanced signal processing techniques
• Experience working with recorded I/Q data and generating synthetic I/Q data
• Strong theoretical understanding and practical application of signal processing techniques (e.g., FFT analyses, matched filtering, cyclostationary analysis)
• Proficiency in programming languages like Python, C++, or MATLAB for algorithm development and integration into current code base
• Experience with software defined radios (SDR) and associated signal processing toolkits
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly document technical details and present findings
• Must be able to work on-site 3-5 days per week in Hawthorne CA or Washington D.C.
• This role will require periodic travel, up to 30%
• U.S. citizen
• Ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
• Preferred Requirements:
• M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or a related field
• Current U.S. security clearance
• Expertise in cyclostationary signal processing
• Demonstrated experience identifying commercial and non-commercial communication waveforms
