SRI International is looking for a full time Simulation and Test Engineer to work with our team at Aberdeen Proving Ground in support of the US Army Communications Electronic Command (CECOM). The primary focus of this position is the development of radar threat simulations that will be used during Aircraft Survivability Equipment software testing and validation. The ideal candidate should have strong analytical skills, be curious, resourceful, independently motivated, and detail oriented.

This position will work onsite at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD.

• Radar signal parameter analysis/interpretation
• Radar signal simulation development
• Test plan development and execution
• Test analysis and reporting
• QA, software design and development for applications

After training, the successful team member will be able to review and interpret EWIR data and other RF parametric information, develop and program RF simulations for lab test purposes, develop and maintain simulation documentation, develop and execute test plans, troubleshoot errors (hardware, software, and simulation), maintain simulations with configuration control procedures and maintain appropriate file libraries with programmed simulations.

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics. Emerging talent welcome to apply!
