Responsible for research and development of sonar system payloads technologies for application to Advanced Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). The job provides an opportunity to design and implement sonar designs and sonar processing algorithms in systems utilizing advanced rapid-prototyping and development processes.
Contribute to the development and maintenance of system-level simulations for a range of sonar applications and participate in at-sea testing of new sonar/AUV systems and advanced technologies. Perform advanced research on sonar systems where there is involvement in developing relevant models of physics, sound propagation, and interaction with underwater environment. Duties include: sonar system concept development; manage and mentor a team of sonar system designers (mechanical, electrical, transduction, software, etc.); author reports, presentations, proposals, and papers; and develop external funding.
This job will be filled at the appropriate level, depending upon the successful candidate’s education and experience. Minimum educational and work-related experience requirements are: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Aero, or Electrical Engineering (Master’s degree preferred) or an equivalent combination of education and experience. Experience in the following is preferred: modeling and simulation of physical systems; sonar system analysis and design; programming in MATLAB/Simulink and C/C++; sonar array processing, both near and far field beamforming, synthetic aperture, and motion compensation; image processing and analysis; and computer aided detection and classification.
The successful candidate must have a demonstrated ability to work independently. Candidate selected will be subject to a government security investigation. U.S. Citizenship required.
