Who We Are:

Ongoing threats to national security require timely intelligence data, including signal intelligence obtained through electronic surveillance. Since the 1940s, SwRI has supported U.S. and friendly foreign governments, as well as commercial clients. Today we continue to advance the state of the art.

Objectives of this Role:

• Work with multidisciplinary team of engineers, software developers, and technicians in the execution of complex research and development, design and programs in support of national security.
• Design, develop, integrate, test and deploy new signal processing capabilities in the areas of energy detection, channelization, signal recognition, signal demodulation/decoding & encoding/modulating, RF geolocation and electronic warfare applications
• Develop techniques for applying matched filter processing to over-the-horizon radar signals and other signals to produce amplitude-range-Doppler maps for a variety of applications, including but not limited to ionospheric sensing.
• Mentor junior level engineers.

Daily and Monthly Responsibilities:

• Work with a team of engineers, software development staff and technicians to create innovative solutions that include antenna arrays, RF processing hardware, and extensive software processing capabilities including application of machine learning techniques.
• Work at SwRI laboratories and support short-term travel to government facilities/military bases or other customer facilities for system installations and to provide technical support within and outside the United States
• Collaborate with client technical representatives and SwRI senior engineering and software staff.
• Prepare technical documents and support proposal preparation as required.
• Provide technical engineering oversight to projects to ensure compliance to requirements, design practices and contract stipulations.

Requirements:

• Requires a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or Computer Engineering.
• 8+ years: Must be familiar with telecommunications and communications signal processing with understanding of radar system concepts, waveforms, and processing desired.
• Over-the-horizon radar processing experience highly desired.
• 8+ years: Proficiency with Linux and C/C++ required.
• Familiarity with Python and MATLAB desirable.
• Experience with software defined radios and SDR frameworks like GNU radio and/or Redhawk/OSSIE desired.
• Familiarity with GPU technology and the CUDA development environment is desired. Experience with application of AI/ML to signal processing applications desirable.
• A valid/clear driver's license is required.
