Easter Seals Jobs

Are you a bold thinker? We dream big at Sierra Nevada Corporation—advocating the exploration of space, keeping service members safe and creating the systems that keep our world united and sustain our way of living. Join our team! As a Systems Engineer, you will be using your skills and expertise to research, architect, model, simulate, test, certify and improve cutting edge products and services. You'll be developing complex system architectures within contextual modeling platforms, ushering them from operational concept through preliminary and detailed design, simulation, and test using progressive tools. As a cross-functional engineer, you are in charge of system-level ownership of new products and processes through the product lifecycle.

In this role, you will be designing, developing and documenting the digital architecture of a distributed multi-function SIGINT/RADAR/EW family of systems. The ideal candidate will have an in-depth understanding of digital messaging standards, digital networking, signal processing techniques, software architectures, RADAR Systems, SIGINT Systems, and digital communication protocols for high speed, synchronous, applications. The position requires a solid understanding of the RF principals governing both coherent and non-coherent RF technologies throughout the RF spectrum. A solid background in the latest FPGA technologies as well as the tools such as Xilinx Vivado is a significant plus for this position. The role requires a strong team player who can work closely with hardware engineers, software engineers, system architects, and other developers to bring innovative solutions to the intelligence, military, and defense sectors.

The Mission Solutions and Technologies (MST) business area provides affordable, turn-key command/control, communications, integrated ISR, force protection and security solutions worldwide. The MST team has a long legacy of supporting the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, commercial and international customers with years of experience in platform operations, engineering and full lifecycle management across domains – air, land, sea, space and cyber. https://www.sncorp.com/company/business-areas/
