Job Description
The team at Eikon Research is seeking a Principal Radar Engineer to join them and lead the design, development, and optimization of advanced radar systems, emphasizing hardware integration, reliability, and performance for defense applications.
The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in radar system architecture and radar performance predictions and modeling, digital and RF Hardware design, digital signal processing, RF calibration, and ruggedized electronics design. They will translate technical requirements into innovative solutions, mentor staff, and ensure compliance with government standards for military radar technologies. A strong background in electrical engineering, radar principles, and RF defense systems is essential. This is an onsite position in Huntsville, AL.
This senior-level role involves, but not limited to:
Leading radar system design and development, incorporating integrated circuits, digital signal processing, and RF components for RF defense radar systems.
Overseeing reliability testing, RF calibration, and test equipment usage to validate hardware/software under environmental stresses.
Designing and manufacturing ruggedized RF/digital electronics for military fielded systems, ensuring low-latency, high-throughput performance.
Developing real-time applications with CUDA/GPUs or C/C++ for radar signal processing, including RF static range measurements, RCS predictions, and signal propagation analysis.
Leading program integration across engineering, operations, acquisition, and testing teams to meet milestones and requirements.
Collaborating on radar systems, data links, and command/control architectures; conducting simulations, modeling, and testing with specialized tools.
Mentoring engineers, providing technical leadership, and developing documentation for proposals, audits, and Agile processes.
Utilizing tools like Git, Jira, CAD software, and contributing to RFP responses, prototypes, and interdisciplinary RF/embedded projects.
Requirements
Candidate must have bachelor's degree in electrical/aerospace engineering. A Master’s or PhD in Electrical/Aerospace Engineering is preferred, bachelor’s with exceptional experience considered
Candidate must be US Citizen
Candidate must have active DoD Secret Clearance, or eligibility to obtain/maintain DoD Secret Clearance
Candidate must have 10+ years' experience with the following:
Integrated circuits (design, fabrication, integration; e.g., RFICs, ASICs) for radar applications.
Reliability testing, RF calibration/test equipment, digital signal processing, and radar system design.
Development of real-time, low-latency, high-throughput applications using CUDA/GPUs or C/C++.
Hands-on design/manufacturing of ruggedized RF/digital electronics for military systems.
Radar systems, RF signal propagation, data links, command/control architectures, RF static range measurements, RF defense radar systems, and RCS predictions.
Leadership in program integration across engineering, operations, acquisition, and testing communities.
Tools like Verilog/VHDL, SPICE, PCB layout; plus, government contracting (DoD standards, ITAR, secure development).
Leading teams/projects, delivering radar systems on time/budget; in-office capability for hardware/testing/classified work.
Desired Knowledge, Skills, Abilities
15+ years of experience
