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.

Position Responsibilities:

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. This position is expected to be 100% onsite.
