Job description
The Airborne Radar Systems and Techniques group at Lincoln Laboratory develops advanced, all-weather long range sensing capabilities for the Department of Defense. This includes systems to detect very challenging threats, as well as radar imagery, and advanced countermeasures to degrade the performance of adversary radar systems. Lincoln Laboratory is a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), whose core mission is technology in support of national security. As such, the role of the lab is to provide objective advice and to provide the best solutions to the government, not simply promoting our own systems. The group works at every stage of radar sensor development, from designing operational concepts with pen and paper studies to gathering real world data, developing novel processing techniques, building hardware prototypes, developing test plans, demonstrating real time operations and working with operational platforms to deploy new techniques in the field. This requires a team with a broad range of backgrounds, and our team includes scientists familiar with sensing systems, mathematicians who can develop algorithms, hardware engineers who can build RF systems. Our group seeks a diverse set of technical and non-technical backgrounds, emphasizing creative problem solving and a “design it – build it – test it” approach to radar challenges. Staff have opportunities to design and build end-to-end working systems and test those systems on one of our two aircraft testbeds. This position is ideal for mathematicians, engineers and scientists who have curiosity and a broad range of interest, and a talent for determining what really drives a problem. Lincoln Laboratory maintains a relatively flat structure, and staff are empowered to propose and run technical programs on their own initiative with support of management. Group staff solve the most challenging real world problems that have a direct impact on the Nation. We solve problems that really matter.
The Airborne Radar Systems and Techniques group is able to support all of these activities by our strong multidisciplinary teams. Staff at all levels are encouraged to develop and lead teams that enable us to leverage everyone’s unique skill set. The Airborne Radar Systems and Techniques group houses some of the top world experts in radar systems, including an IEEE president and several IEEE fellows, who work in an inclusive and supportive environment to bring great ideas into reality. Lincoln Laboratory’s collaborative atmosphere supports and rewards self-starters and curious individuals with creative approaches to some of the most difficult problems in the world, and this enables us to accomplish great things.
