Georgia Tech Research Institute
Algorithm & Analysis Engineer (Mid-Level) - SEAL - Open Rank (Onsite)
Georgia Tech Research Institute, Smyrna, Georgia, us, 30081
Overview:
The Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is the nonprofit, applied research division of the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Founded in 1934 as the Engineering Experiment Station, GTRI has grown to more than 2,900 employees, supporting eight laboratories in over 20 locations around the country and performing more than $940 million of problem-solving research annually for government and industry. GTRI's renowned researchers combine science, engineering, economics, policy, and technical expertise to solve complex problems for the U.S. federal government, state, and industry.
Location
Smyrna, GA (Metro Atlanta)
Project/Unit Description
The Sensors & Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory (SEAL) of the Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) is seeking engineers and scientists who are interested in a research career focused on the analysis of all aspects of phased array radar signal processing. As a researcher in the Air & Missile Defense Division (AMDD), candidates will support the assessment and characterization of phased array radar measurements in a contested environment. At GTRI, candidates have an excellent opportunity to grow technically and to support program management and business development activities as their careers evolve.
Job Purpose
The Algorithm & Analysis Engineer is responsible for the development and support of state-of-the-art algorithms involving data fusion, sensor fusion, machine learning, manned/unmanned avionics improvement programs, and genetic programming. The Algorithm & Analysis Engineer focuses on the design, analysis, software/hardware implementation, optimization, profiling, and experimental evaluation of computer algorithms, bridging the gap between algorithm theory and practical applications of algorithms in software engineering. Additionally, the Algorithm & Analysis Engineer conducts statistical analysis of multi-modal and time-varying data to characterize and quantify system qualities and deficiencies, resulting in recommendations and development of improvements.
Key Responsibilities
Perform data cleaning and fundamental data analysis, with guidance only as needed, generating new tools with significant reusability.
Design and execute algorithm tests with limited oversight.
Serve in a leading role in algorithm design discussions for defined portions of programs.
Design larger portions of algorithms and testing with minimal oversight.
Lead sections of technical report execution.
Lead discussions with sponsors for large portions of research.
Work with independence at sponsor sites under guidance of technical leads.
Materially contribute to discussions for technical journal articles and conference presentations.
Conduct literature searches related to research focus areas.
Mentor student researchers and facilitate their technical development and tasking.
Additional Responsibilities
Developing signal processing and track processing algorithms.
Analyzing the performance of signal and track processing algorithms.
Assessment of data collected during field test events.
Developing models and simulations to support performance prediction.
Serving as a subject matter expert to our DoD customer base.
Required Minimum Qualifications
Candidates currently enrolled in an accredited degree program relevant to this position will be considered. The candidate must have a graduation date of no later than December 2024.
Experience developing models and simulations in Matlab, C++, or similar high-level software language.
Possess an in-depth understanding of basic signal processing concepts such as sampling, filtering, and Fourier transforms.
Possess an in-depth understanding of probability and statistics.
Possess an in-depth understanding of linear algebra.
Preferred Qualifications
Active Secret Clearance.
Possess an in-depth understanding of radar environmental phenomenology.
Possess an in-depth understanding of phased array radar hardware and signal processing.
Possess significant experience with radar tracking algorithms.
Travel Requirements
25% - 50% travel.
Education and Length of Experience
5 years of related experience with a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related field.
3 years of related experience with a Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related field.
0 years of related experience with a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related field.
U.S. Citizenship Requirements
