Northrop Grumman Space Systems Payload and Ground Systems Division in Linthicum, MD is seeking a senior Radar Systems Engineer to develop radar modes for space radar payloads, including SAR (Synthetic Aperture) and MTI (Moving Target Indicator) modes among other classified modes. Early in the system lifecycle, systems engineers develop models and conduct analysis to support sensor requirements definition and use case validation. Progressing past analysis and design, Northrop Grumman Radar Systems Engineers also support the development of radar modes in digital simulation environments (in MATLAB models of the radar system) through I&T (integration and test), initially on a "mini-Payload" or EDU (engineering development unit), and then onto I&T on the flight hardware, and later for new modes, refinements, performance improvements on operational on-orbit systems. This position involves Modeling, Simulation and Analysis (MS&A) of advanced radar systems using MATLAB . The position also includes analyzing data from the integration, test, and calibration of the payload flight hardware and the verification and validation (V&V) of simulation performance against test data. Candidates should be highly motivated algorithm developers who can work independently to develop tasking and/or processing algorithms, generate design documentation (algorithm description documents), and support the implementation of the algorithms in flight software and/or processing software by software engineers.
