Job Description
Insight Global is seeking a Principal Systems Engineer to support a mission-critical defense program with a defense contractor focused on next-generation radar, target tracking, and sensor fusion capabilities.
This role offers the opportunity to directly contribute to advanced airborne sensor systems that support the U.S. military and the warfighter. The selected candidate will help develop, integrate, and enhance multi-function RF sensing technologies used to detect, track, and identify threats in complex operational environments.
The work spans the entire system lifecycle, from requirements definition and performance analysis through integration, testing, and deployment on advanced airborne platforms.
If you have experience with radar systems, RF signal processing, target tracking, sensor fusion, or advanced defense technologies, this is an opportunity to support mission-focused programs that have a real-world operational impact.
Responsibilities
Support the development and integration of advanced radar, sensor fusion, and target tracking systems.
Analyze sensor performance and evaluate system effectiveness using modeling, simulation, and real-world test data.
Develop parametric models, visualizations, and data-driven analyses to support system requirements and design efforts.
Maintain and improve existing tracking, sensor fusion, and adaptive processing algorithms.
Support integration efforts across simulation environments, laboratories, and airborne test platforms.
Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure systems meet performance requirements.
Interpret and utilize Interface Control Documents (ICDs) and other technical documentation.
Participate in system verification, validation, and performance assessments.
Engage with government stakeholders and program teams to balance operational needs and technical requirements.
Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM), or related technical field with 8+ years of experience
OR Master's degree with 6+ years of experience
OR PhD with 4+ years of experience
Additional relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree
Active U.S. Government Secret Clearance
Ability to obtain Special Access Program (SAP) approval
Experience with one or more of the following:
Multi-target tracking
Sensor fusion
Adaptive processing algorithms
Experience using MATLAB or similar modeling and analysis tools
Experience supporting RF systems, radar systems, or RF signal processing applications
Working knowledge of systems engineering principles, integration, testing, and requirements management
Strong communication and collaboration skills
Preferred Qualifications
Active Top Secret Clearance
Previous SAP access or experience supporting classified programs
Master's Degree or PhD in:
Electrical Engineering
Aerospace Engineering
Applied Physics
Signal Processing
Radar Systems
Related STEM disciplines
Experience with radar techniques, tracking algorithms, or sensor processing technologies
Familiarity with C++ for analysis and algorithm support
