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.Project/Unit Description

ATAS/SDD projects focus on developing RF hardware systems for a wide range of Department of Defense applications. These systems include radar; threat system simulations; test and evaluation related to threat radars, missiles, air and ground vehicles; power systems; and embedded computing and control systems but often span into electronic warfare, high power microwave (HPM) systems, and weapon systems.Job Purpose

RF/Radar Systems Engineers work with a team to perform advanced system and algorithm development using established systems engineering approaches. Based on detailed trade studies and requirements analyses, radar systems engineers develop solutions to satisfy system requirements and perform functions related to all aspects of radar system design. These functions include the development of the complete architectural design of radar systems, investigation and development of new algorithms to advance key sensor capabilities by leveraging signal processing techniques and novel waveform development, development of detailed simulations of algorithms and systems for design verification or to facilitate operational software development, the design of sensor modes that maximize sensor performance, the collection and analysis of data from laboratory or flight tests, and formal verification that the final design solution meets all system requirements.Key Responsibilities

Conduct initial RF subsystem and system design studies, testing plans, and analysis of requirements as directed by technical lead.Develop technical reports and diagrams detailing design description or performance as defined by requirements.Interface with and learn how to work with disparate engineering teams for technical tasking.Additional Responsibilities

Design and testing of radar subsystems, including antennas, transmitters, exciters, and receivers.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 May 2025.Performance assessment of RF systems and subsystems, including antenna, waveform generation, power amplification, and receiver design and technology.Modeling and simulation experience with MATLAB.RF subsystem design knowledge.Experience with RF subsystem-related hardware.Preferred Qualifications

Active TS/SCI Clearance.Working knowledge of radar system function.Modeling and simulation experience with computational electromagnetic codes such as HFSS and FEKO.Travel Requirements
