Radar Systems Analysis Engineer in Ampthill, Bedfordshire

Radar Systems Analysis Engineer

You will be working for a Leading Defence and Aerospace company as a Radar Systems Analysis Engineer. This company is always pushing to be the best in the industry and wants everyone to have a great work/life balance. From this, they offer you 4 day working weeks with every Friday off.

You will be required to have some of skills, qualifications and experience as a minimum:

• A strong mathematical background with, or the ability to rapidly gain, an understanding of Information Theory
• An understanding of computational radar signature modelling and techniques for the extraction of signature features from radar returns
• An understanding of the application of target tracking and non-cooperative target recognition (NCTR) and target identification classifiers to radar problems
• An understanding of outgoing phased array radar signal generation, including (but not limited to) wave-forms, adaptive beam-forming, and antenna design
• An understanding of incoming radar signal processing chains, including (but not limited to) physical, electronic, and computational approaches/architectures
• An understanding of radar resource management/budgeting approaches
• An understanding of Systems Thinking / Systems Engineering practices

If you have these skills, qualifications and experience they are strongly desired also:

• Direct experience in the design, development, or use of practical radar systems, including physical, electronic, and software architectures of radar signal processing chains
• Direct experience in the computational modelling of static and dynamic RF signatures
• Direct experience in the application of target tracking and target recognition classifiers to radar problems
• Direct experience as an interpreter of operational radar system outputs
• Direct experience with end-to-end modelling of radar sensing problems
• Knowledge of and/or direct experience with the application of sensor fusion techniques
• Knowledge of and/or direct experience with Model Based Systems Engineering

Some further information of the Radar Systems Analysis Engineer role you will be doing is:

This role is about understanding the physics of radar/RF an how a radar system interprets the radar return signals it is seeing and how that can potentially be reduced. Someone who understands or appreciates non-cooperative target recognition (NCTR) and/or the radar/RF aspects of low observable/stealth technology.

This is not a hardware focused role, we are not looking for someone to deliver a system to a customer or into production, this is more analytic, modelling, data and R&D focused role. Also people who talk about radar systems integration (E.g.taking an existing radar and integrating it with a new platform or system that interprets radar data) are not what we are looking for.
