Radar System Engineer
Stellenbeschreibung
Overview
As a Radar System Engineer, you will shape next-generation digital radar systems for high-performance, space-constrained environments. You’ll define system requirements, explore trade-offs, and select components to meet SWaP-C targets, working across HW, SW, RF, and signal processing teams. This role focuses on translating complex requirements into practical radar solutions that push sensing capabilities in defense applications. You will collaborate with multidisciplinary colleagues to deliver impactful, mission-critical aerospace innovations.
