- Excellent communicator with ability to develop and tailor technical briefs to influence a range of technical and non-technical audiences
Requirements
- Ability to obtain a Top Secret security clearance, for which U.S. citizenship is needed by U.S. Government.
- 3+ years of experience on RF programs, including the development of advanced signal- and data-processing algorithms from mathematical/analytical derivation through testing and verification of system performance
- Proficiency in one or more scientific or mathematical programming languages, such as MATLAB, Python, and C/C++
- Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or a related technical discipline
- Experience with HF propagation modes and an understanding of the underlying physics, end-to-end signal processing chain
- Ability to apply novel, innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to challenging engineering problems
Compensation
- The salary range listed is based on external market data.
- $139,000 - $170,000
Benefits
- Collaborate with diverse teams, learning from the different perspectives to develop and deploy prototype systems that demonstrate our ability to extend the boundaries of what's possible
- Offers are based on factors, such as but not limited to, the candidate's experience, education, training, key skills/critical skills, security clearances, and prevailing market and business conditions.
- STR is committed to creating a collaborative learning environment that supports deep technical understanding and recognizes the contributions and achievements of all team members.
Company info
- The Sensors Division at STR focuses on technology development for advanced sensor systems to add national security capabilities, particularly in the areas of airborne/surface-based radar, electronic warfare, underwater acoustics, hyperspectral imaging, and EO/IR sensing.
- Within these areas, we perform work on emerging concepts & technologies, component & system development and prototyping, and experimental campaigns.
- Our main customer focus is on Department of War and Intelligence Community research and development programs, with work spanning concept formulation through validation prototyping.
- As a Senior Algorithm & Signal Processing Researcher, you will develop and apply state-of-the-art algorithms and techniques for HF communications that include signal detection, channel equalization, and geolocation.
- You'll work with a team of researchers in creating innovative system capability and collaborate with the engineering team to develop and demonstrate and optimize system capabilities.
- A successful candidate will have demonstrated strong analysis skills and expertise in several of the following areas: adaptive signal processing, equalization, High Frequency (HF) radio propagation, ionospheric physics, machine learning, algorithm development, algorithm integration, test & evaluation, model & simulation, systems engineering, or communications systems.
- They will apply first principles of physics to model and simulate realistic environments to support system performance modeling at HF radio frequencies to develop realistic simulations of complex propagation environments.
