Job Title: Algorithm Research/Complex Signal Processing Staff

State: Massachusetts

City: Lexington

Description: Group 105-Advanced RF Sensing and Exploitation

The Advanced RF Sensing and Exploitation Group develops technology solutions for defense-related ISR missions, emphasizing RF sensing, signal processing, target feature exploitation, and prototype system development. Challenging problems are analyzed from a systems perspective. Innovative solutions exploiting small size, weight, and power consumption form the basis for several key program development thrusts in the group. For example, custom RF front-end hardware such as ultra-wideband multifunction antenna arrays and VLSI-based digital receivers are developed for military ground vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles. The group synergistically combines hardware with digital signal processing to enable new radar and intelligence data collection capabilities, and has moved beyond classical radar signal detection and imaging to develop concepts exploiting target features and data fusion from multiple sensor types, thereby enhancing detection and tracking in challenging (e.g., dense urban) environments. The group's programs typically entail system development in existing RF test chambers and unique rapid prototyping facilities, culminating in field test and evaluation. Principal staff expertise in the group includes system engineering, digital signal processing, electromagnetic analysis and antenna design, RF integrated circuits and receiver design, experimental physics, and hardware development and integration.

This position will involve algorithm research for a complex signal processing chain as part of a large development team; successful work transitions to an operational system. Expertise in adaptive signal processing, detection, localization and spectral estimation, and the capability of conducting fundamental data-driven algorithm research are essential. The ability to maintain a Top Secret clearance is required.

Position requirements: Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics or Physics. In lieu of a PhD, a MSEE with a minimum of 5 years of directly related experience will be considered.

Experience with adaptive signal processing, detection, localization, and spectral estimation.
