Position Introduction:

The Advanced Radar Research Center (ARRC) is seeking experienced Hardware Engineers to join our growing engineering team. ARRC Hardware Engineers support the design, development, integration, testing, and deployment of advanced radar systems. Working across the full hardware lifecycle, they contribute to circuit design, system integration, troubleshooting, validation, and field support while helping develop next-generation radar technologies and supporting subsystems. ARRC teammates work within multidisciplinary teams of hardware, software, signal processing, and systems engineers to develop innovative radar solutions for research and operational applications. This role offers opportunities to perform hands-on engineering across all phases of development. Position Focus : The Hardware Engineer serves in a senior technical role supporting the design, development, integration, and testing of advanced radar systems and associated sensing technologies. This position is responsible for the end-to-end development of mixed-signal hardware solutions, spanning RF front-end architectures through digitized baseband processing systems. The successful candidate will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop innovative radar capabilities, evaluate system performance, and support field deployments in operational environments. This role offers the opportunity to work on cutting-edge radar technologies, contribute to system architecture decisions, and see designs progress from concept through implementation and field validation. Essential Duties and Responsibilities :

• Contribute to the analysis, design, development, integration, and testing of advanced radar systems and subsystems.
• Design and develop mixed-signal hardware architectures spanning RF front-end components through digitized baseband signal processing systems.
• Perform mixed-signal circuit design, analysis, simulation, and system-level evaluation to meet radar performance requirements.
• Design, develop, and validate radar hardware including communications, acquisition, monitoring, and control systems.
• Create PCB designs including schematic capture, layout review, integration, bring-up, and performance testing.
• Develop and execute hardware verification, validation, and acceptance test plans, procedures, and test scenarios.
• Analyze radar and subsystem performance, identify deficiencies, and implement improvements to optimize system capability, reliability, and maintainability.
• Integrate hardware, firmware, software, and signal processing components into operational radar platforms.
