At Boeing, we innovate and collaborate to make the world a better place. We’re committed to fostering an environment for every teammate that’s welcoming, respectful and inclusive, with great opportunity for professional growth. Find your future with us. This is Boeing: each of us is an innovator on a mission to connect, protect, explore, and inspire. From seabed to outer space, you’ll learn and grow, contributing to work that shapes the world. Find your future with us. The Boeing Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) program area is working on several new development efforts for the Patriot Advanced Capability (PAC-3) RF seeker and is looking for an experienced Radar Seeker System Engineer, Senior, Lead or Principal, to support these efforts at the Boeing Jetplex facility in Huntsville, Alabama. Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) PAC-3 program is an air-defense, missile system designed to intercept tactical ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and advanced aircraft where Boeing is the original engineering manufacturer of the seeker. Boeing’s radar seekers provide target data to the PAC-3 missile which enables it to acquire, intercept, and destroy threats using hit-to-kill technology. The PAC-3 Seeker team is a cross functional, highly skilled, motivated group embracing the beliefs that focused safety, execution, and lean manufacturing and business practices will secure our future, all while driving our product to be the seeker of choice for the PAC-3 program and future generations of weapon systems.
Job Responsibility:
Lead critical technical development efforts as a senior subject matter expert on RF theory, digital signal processing, and radar concepts
Develop algorithms for radar signal processing techniques such as Kalman filtering, probabilistic and statistical modeling, and measurement processing from pulsed-Doppler waveforms
Design algorithms that process signal returns into discriminated targets and track targets through mission timeline
Define system performance requirements and ensure interface definition supports various functional components of the seeker’s and missile’s architecture
Conduct analysis to optimize total system-of-systems performance or system architecture as applied to algorithmic functionality pertaining to the acquisition and tracking of targets
Analyze seeker simulation data to identify areas for improvement and guide recommendations for system robustness in the presence of challenging operational environments
Analyze algorithm performance with a focus on survivability, vulnerability, and susceptibility to identify necessary modifications to ensure mission success
Review and modify the application of general digital signal processing techniques to the processing of reradiated signal content to ensure accurate signal characteristic identification
Mentor early-career engineers and inexperienced DSP/algorithm engineers through regular knowledge transfer
