Boeing, Huntsville, Alabama, United States, 35824
Radar Systems Senior Engineer - Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3)
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.
Overview 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 a Senior Seeker Radar Engineer to support these efforts. This position is located at the Boeing Jetplex facility in Huntsville, Alabama.
Position Description 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. The PAC-3 Seeker team is a cross functional, highly skilled, motivated group embracing the beliefs that focused safety, execution, 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.
Position Responsibilities
Provide subject matter expertise in support of algorithm development 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 and/or system architecture as applied to algorithmic functionality pertaining to the acquisition and tracking of targets.
Conduct analysis on seeker simulation data to identify areas of improvement and guide recommendations for system robustness in the presence of challenging operational environments.
Review and modify the application of general digital signal processing techniques to the processing of reradiated signal content to ensure accurate signal characteristic identification.
Support the tactical implementation of algorithm designs into Ada or C++ software.
Location and Work Arrangement This position is expected to be 100% onsite at the listed location (Jetplex facility, Huntsville, Alabama).
Security Clearance This position requires an active U.S. Active Security Clearance (U.S. Citizenship Required). A U.S. Security Clearance that has been active in the past 24 months is considered active.
Qualifications Basic Qualifications (Required Skills/Experience):
Bachelor of Science degree from an accredited program in engineering, engineering technology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, data science, or computer science.
Typically 9 or more years of related work experience or an equivalent combination of technical education and experience or non-US equivalent qualifications.
Preferred Qualifications (Desired Skills/Experience):
5 years of experience in Digital Signal Processing/Radar/Digital Communications algorithms and techniques (e.g., equalization, waveform processing, detection/acquisition/discrimination, channel estimation, filter design, resampling theory).
Experience with MATLAB for data analysis, prototyping, and/or modeling and simulation.
Knowledge of digital signal processing theory, including application of fundamental DSP techniques; familiarity with linear signal theory, Fourier transforms, and communication theory.
RF, electrical transmission, signal processing and modeling in MATLAB.
System test experience including test design, implementation, and execution for breadboard and brassboard hardware.
Experience working in a fast-paced, independent research and development (IRAD) environment.
Familiarity with multiple programming languages and development environments (C++, Ada, Python, etc.) in an Agile environment.
Experience in formal technical writing (whitepapers, tech-notes, technical journals, and research reports).
Experience in technology readiness level (TRL) maturation of novel technologies and concepts.
Relocation and Work Conditions This position offers relocation based on candidate eligibility. This is a 1st shift position.
Compensation and Benefits Pay is based on candidate experience and qualifications, as well as market and business considerations. Summary pay range Level 4: $119,850 - $162,150. Boeing provides a Total Rewards package including competitive base pay and variable compensation opportunities, along with a range of benefit programs.
Other Statements This position requires an active U.S. Secret Security Clearance (U.S. Citizenship Required). Employer will not sponsor applicants for employment visa status.
Equal Opportunity Employer: Boeing is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Employment decisions are made without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, veteran status, or other characteristics protected by law.
Application Details Applications for this position will be accepted until Sept. 15, 2025.
Note: The Jetplex facility in Huntsville, Alabama is the listed location for this role. This description may include additional roles and postings within Boeing Defense, Space & Security (BDS) and the IAMD program family for reference.
Referrals increase your chances of interviewing at Boeing by 2x.
