Job Description:
Clover Leaf is looking for a Senior Electrical/Radar Engineer to
join our growing team. The position will involve work with a
Department of Energy client in Livermore, CA. We are looking for
someone who can work as part of a team and individually.
An active DOE "Q" clearance is required for this position.
The winning candidate will be a part of the Flight Test Group,
which is a fast-paced, cross-disciplinary team supporting downrange
scoring for flight test missions - both nuclear and conventional
weapons systems. We use a variety of sensors, including radar, to
assess weapon system accuracy and performance. The Flight Test
Group partners with other DoD organizations (i.e., Navy, Army, Air
Force) to field radar systems in a variety of locations, including
the broad ocean area. You will spearhead development efforts to
incorporate existing or developmental radar systems on flight
missions by working with existing team members and vendors while
coordinating testing events to qualify hardware and radar
processing algorithms.
This position will require some travel in the field to ensure the
radar systems are set up properly and are collecting the necessary
data in addition to presenting data in front of DoD sponsors and
various locations around the US. This position is in the Defense
Technologies Engineering Division (DTED), within the Engineering
Directorate.
This position will be filled at either level based on knowledge and
related experience as assessed by the hiring team. Additional job
responsibilities (outlined below) will be assigned if hired at a
higher level.
Duties and Responsibilities:
Oversee the Radar on a Raft (ROAR) project; providing guidance,
technical direction, and solutions in the design, development, and
production of hardware needed to field an existing X-band radar on
an autonomous raft.
Work with radar vendors on their COTS (commercial off-the-shelf)
radar systems to understand how and when these systems can be used
and propose solutions for areas where there are limitations.
Develop software tools for physics-based simulations, mission
planning, and deployment optimization. This includes the
development of tools and algorithms to post-process radar data to
extract meaningful engineering data that can aid with an assessment
of the terminal event on flight missions.
Assist the team with advanced engineering design solutions on a
variety of projects in one or more of the following technical
areas: analog and digital circuit design, telemetry, diagnostics
and sensor development, electro-optic systems, data acquisition
systems, tester development, and process control systems.
Provide advanced conceptual solutions to a diverse range of complex
issues/problems that require analysis and creative use of
established techniques and methods.
Generate detailed plans, schedules, and budgets for project
activities.
Prepare supporting safety and engineering documentation and reports
and participate in engineering design reviews.
Interface with various DoD organizations and provide briefings and
plans for implementation of hardware solutions for relevant data
collection.
Set broad project vision and strategy and influence the technical
direction for self and others.
Develop new ideas and redefine customer requirements that impact
organizational operations or directions.
Education/Qualifications:
Ability to secure and maintain a U.S. DOE Q-level security
clearance which requires U.S. Citizenship.
Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field, or the
equivalent combination of education and related experience.
Advanced knowledge of radar systems engineering and electrical
engineering concepts related to the use of radar systems in the
field including but not limited to in-depth understanding and
experience with link budget analysis, electronic and digital beam
steering, noise sources, and signal quality evaluation.
Advanced knowledge of signal processing techniques and machine
learning (e.g., estimation and detection, statistical signal
analysis, filter design, target tracking, etc.).
Strong coding ability for data analysis, physics-based simulations,
and algorithm development, preferably in Python and/or Matlab.
Experience with C/C++ coding is a strong plus.
Significant experience in conducting experiments of complex
electro-mechanical systems and the advanced application of timing
and data acquisition systems.
Significant experience in managing, overseeing, and delivering
multiple projects on budget and schedule.
Advanced communication skills with proven ability to present
concepts and ideas in a clear and coherent manner, both verbal and
written for presentation and interaction with other technical staff
members.
Ability to travel.
Significant experience in making proposals to sponsors to help fund
technology developments and then executing those proposals to meet
sponsor expectations.
Expert knowledge and experience with sea motion characterization
and compensation.
Experience and knowledge of localization techniques based on GPS
and IMU data and an in-depth understanding of geometry and
coordinate system transformation.
