Who are we looking for?
Pacific Defense is seeking a Senior Signal Processing Designer/Architect to develop signal processing algorithms for RF and EW systems. Your job title will be Sr. System Engineer or Principal System Engineer depending on qualifications. The successful candidate will be able to draw on their previous experience to develop, and research as necessary, algorithms covering subject matters such as signal detection, tracking, resource management, and direction finding. Candidates should not only be comfortable prototyping algorithms in a language like Julia, Python, or MATLAB, but also capable of providing direction and documentation to software developers who will take the algorithm design and implement it on actual systems. You will be able to take math, algorithms and signal processing concepts from plain-text through pseudocode constructs to ultimately unveil, evolve, and integrate with the system being constructed to transition to software/firmware code for developers.
Extensive historical knowledge of EW system concepts such as signal detection, communications collection, and EW technique application, with an emphasis on techniques for improving minimum discernible signal, SNR, and dynamic range. Experience with contributing to system architecture selection and providing inputs to trade studies to discriminate between valid and problematic system designs is also a plus.
The ideal candidate will also be comfortable working collaboratively with other members of a small team. The candidate will be expected to explain the operation of their algorithms to others, assist with implementing and debugging the algorithms on an actual system, and occasionally mentor other team members on the concepts utilized by the algorithms. As a senior engineer, the candidate may be required to present their work to customers and leadership.
Requirements
What we can offer you:
Pacific Defense provides competitive salaries and immediately vested 401K match. We provide 100% coverage for the employee, and 75% coverage for dependents' medical, dental, vision, and life insurance premiums, as well as a flexible spending account for incidental health care expenses. We offer paid time off and federal holidays to spend time with family, pursue outside interests, or just get some extra rest.
Pacific Defense is an Equal Opportunity Employer and considers qualified applicants for employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, veteran status, or any other protected factor.
