Associate Staff--radar Systems Engineer

4 weeks ago


Lexington, United States MIT Lincoln Laboratory Full time
The nation’s satellites perform important civil, scientific, and national defense functions such as navigation, communications, weather forecasting, astronomical observations, and surveillance.  As space becomes increasingly congested and contested, maintaining awareness of all man-made objects around the Earth is critical for ensuring the safe and effective operation of U.S. satellites. 
The Advanced Sensors and Techniques Group develops and operates electro-optical (EO) and radio frequency (RF) sensors and resilient space systems critical to maintaining this awareness of the space domain.  We develop and operate some of the world’s most exquisite optical and radar systems from our main campus in Lexington, MA, with additional opportunities at locations including the Lincoln Space Surveillance Complex (LSSC) in Westford, MA, the Experimental Test Site in Socorro, NM, and the U. S. Army Reagan Test Site at the Kwajalein Atoll in the Marshall Islands. 
 

Our team explores novel concepts, develops them into prototypes, and turns those prototypes into impactful operational capabilities.  Recent examples include transmitter and receiver upgrades on the world’s most sensitive radars, integration and operation of a state-of-the-art space telescope, development of advanced signal processing techniques, development of fully automated high-resolution image processing capabilities, demonstration of high-precision multi-sensor data fusion, and design and demonstration of long-baseline coherent receive apertures.
 

Job Description

The Advanced Sensors and Techniques Group is seeking a candidate to help design and build the next generation of advanced radar systems for space surveillance.  The successful candidate will work in multi-disciplinary teams of scientists and engineers to prototype and demonstrate innovative concepts leveraging real-world data and access to world-class sensors.  Assignments will require the candidate to work independently and in a team environment.  Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential for this role.  We are seeking highly motivated, exceptionally bright and creative individuals with experience developing, testing, and operating radar systems who can think broadly, analyze complex problems, implement solutions in a rapid prototyping environment, and who wish to contribute to the development of cutting-edge technology in support of National Security.

Requirements

-M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Aeronautical Engineering, or other relevant technical field.  A B.S. and at least 5 years of relevant experience will be considered.
-Experience developing, testing, or operating RF systems
-Understanding of RF transmit, receive, and/or signal processing techniques
-Demonstrated ability to solve broad technical problems and complex engineering challenges
-Demonstrated proficiency in oral and written communication
-Demonstrated ability to work in a team environment and develop strong working relationships
-Familiarity with C/C++, MATLAB, Python, or other scientific programming languages

At MIT Lincoln Laboratory, our exceptional career opportunities include many outstanding benefits to help you stay healthy, feel supported, and enjoy a fulfilling work-life balance. Benefits offered to employees include: 
 

-Comprehensive health, dental, and vision plans
-MIT-funded pension
-Matching 401K
