world missions. We're particularly interested in candidates with a background in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field, who bring a strong foundation in signal processing techniques. As a member of the Airborne Radar Systems and Techniques group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, you will work on high-performance sensor systems as part of a team with diverse technical backgrounds.
We prototype radar and imaging sensors for wide-area surveillance, and work to mature algorithms to detect small objects in challenging environments. Projects typically involve a mix of hardware and software development, as well as algorithm design. Teams work
together to understand foundational physical principles, design and build one-of-a-kind sensor systems, architect and execute flight test data collections, develop and integrate novel processing techniques, and explore advanced countermeasures that degrade sensor performance.
Staff projects typically partner across the Department of Defense to transition work onto platforms that operate around the globe, and perform impactful and relevant missions. Responsibilities Develop, implement, and backss state-of-the-art algorithms for radar and image signal processing Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop and optimize radar signal processing algorithms for improved target detection,
tracking, and/or identification Analyze and interpret radar data to extract meaningful insights and enhance system performance Design, simulate, and implement processing algorithms using tools like MATLAB, Python, or similar to incorporate advanced AI/ML techniques in the areas of automatic target recognition, signal denoising, target tracking, and/or interference mitigation Team up with hardware engineers to ensure smooth integration and compatibility between processing algorithms, data types, and prototype hardware Collaborate as a member of a multidisciplinary team to design and execute experiments that include both ground-based and airborne sensors Prepare technical documentation, including test plans, interface control documents, reports, and presentations, as well as technical presentations outlining project details and status Share new ideas and intuitions with your colleagues, collaborators and others in our technical communities through educational, mentorship, and outreach opportunities Qualifications M.
S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, Computer Science, or a related field. Specialization in signal processing or experience with radar is a plus. In lieu of an M. S. we will consider applicants with a B. S. degree that have 3 years of relevant work experience.
Foundational knowledge of linear system theory and signal processing techniques, such as filtering, modulation, and estimation. Proficiency in a programming language like MATLAB, Python, C/C++ for algorithm development and simulation. Familiarity with machine learning and/or statistical signal processing concepts. Experience with radar systems, remote sensing, or signal/image processing applications, their components, and associated challenges is highly desirable but not required. Experience with RF hardware (amplifiers, antennas, filters) and digital processing and control systems (FPGAs, GPUs, CPUs) is desirable but not required.
Willingness to travel occasionally to participate in (or lead) offsite field tests, data collection campaigns, exercises, and meetings. Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team environment. Effective communication skills to present complex technical concepts to diverse audiences. A passion for innovation and a desire to contribute to advancements in radar technology. Join us in an intellectually stimulating environment where you'll have the opportunity to apply your expertise to real-world challenges in radar signal processing.
We value diversity, and encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds. If you're ready to join a team with a passion for pushing the boundaries of radar technology, we'd love to hear from you! #CJ 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.
