Radar System Modes & Algorithms Lead in Redmond

Join a company that's reintroducing itself to the aviation community we've helped advance for more than a century. At Honeywell Aerospace, we're launching as an independent, publicly traded aerospace and defense company built on a legacy of operational excellence and mission-focused execution. Our new brand identity pairs that heritage with real momentum, as we build technology that helps pilots navigate with confidence, aircraft operate more efficiently, and operators stay ahead of change. With our systems on board 90% of the world's aircraft, your work here has reach that's rare to find anywhere else. Focusing on our customers, investing in innovation, and building a culture of accountability and performance is how we're shaping what comes next. Every horizon. Every mission. Every day.

Key Technical Skills And Experience

• Radar system architecture and implementation: hands-on experience defining and developing radar system architectures, including radar subsystems, functional allocation, interfaces, data flows, hardware/software partitioning, and the physical hardware and processing needed to realize an integrated radar system.
• Radar mode development and management: hands-on development of radar modes from operational needs through mode definition, processing, resource needs, implementation, and integration.
• Radar waveform design, scan strategy, and resource management: design and optimization of radar waveforms, PRFs, bandwidths, timing, ambiguity, Doppler considerations, beam/scan strategies, dwell, revisit/update rates, coverage, and allocation of radar resources across modes.
• Radar signal processing and algorithm development: hands-on development of range/Doppler processing, detection, CFAR, beamforming, angle estimation, clutter suppression, tracking, and other advanced radar processing, including implementation and optimization for real-time radar systems.
• Radar modeling, simulation, and data analysis: hands-on development and use of MATLAB, Python, or similar tools for radar architecture, waveform and algorithm development, performance modeling, and analysis of measured radar data.
• Radar system/subsystem prototyping: demonstrated experience taking radar concepts, architectures, modes, waveforms, and algorithms beyond analysis and simulation into functional hardware prototypes or demonstrators.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline such as science, technology, engineering, mathematics.
• Experience in Radar or RF systems (i.e. radar modes, radar signal, radar system).
• Experience as a Systems Engineer including two or more of the following: requirements, design; specification development, modeling, simulation, or performance analysis; HW/SW integration and test and verification.

WE VALUE

• A master's degree from an accredited institution in a technical discipline, such as science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
• Track record of solving difficult, complex problems through innovation, analysis, engineering, and experimentation.
• Excellent written and oral communication skills reflected in a record of published results and public presentations in your field of research.
• Engage with customers and partners to define their needs and requirements, then apply your skills to find creative solutions through rigorous analysis, engineering, and experimentation.
• Effectively communicate your ideas and results to research sponsors, scientific peers, and business leadership, through effective presentations, publications, and the writing of proposals.
• Strong understanding of aircraft and avionics integration.
