Radar Engineer
There is an immediate opportunity at Tactical Technologies Inc. (TTI) in Ottawa, Canada for a Radar Engineer to participate in the ongoing development of TTI’s Tactical Engagement Simulation Software (TESS) products. TESS is a family of dynamic, closed-loop missile engagement software simulators that model interactions between threat radar-guided and infrared-guided weapon systems and target aircraft, ship and land platforms. TESS products are designed to evaluate the effectiveness of combined countermeasure techniques and programs that may be used by a targeted platform to defend against a threat weapon system. TTI makes and sells TESS to the international defence community and our software is in use in various roles in some of the most modern and advanced EW laboratories in over 25 countries worldwide.
Education:
The candidate must have a bachelor’s or master’s degree from an accredited university in an appropriate engineering field such as electrical engineering or engineering physics with courses in antenna theory and radar systems theory.
Responsibilities:
The successful candidate will be responsible for:
- Supporting, maintaining and enhancing the fidelity of the various RF models within the TESS simulators
- Researching EW related military systems and developing input data sets that will match the TESS models to those real-world systems
- Planning and executing comprehensive test procedures to verify the performance of RF models within TESS
- Testing equations and algorithms written in MATLAB, Simulink, and C
- Creating documentation for in house and end-user applications
With product knowledge and experience gained over time, responsibilities will include a gradually increasing research and development role with the objectives of designing new radar model capabilities and of improving the current fire control algorithms, RF propagation models, RF signature models and RF clutter and noise models.
Knowledge and Experience:
The ideal candidate will have many of the following:
- Knowledge of radar concepts and antenna theory
- Knowledge of RF and IR guided military weapon systems
- Knowledge of Verification and Validation (V&V) concepts
- Practical experience with standard software test and evaluation tools
- Excellent communication, multi-tasking, analytical and problem solving skills
- Experience with MATLAB/Simulink and C/C++
- Experience using verification tools such as System Test
- Knowledge and experience related to any of the following would be an asset:
- Control theory
- Electromagnetic wave propagation
- Electronic warfare and electronic countermeasures
Interests and Skills:
- A keen interest in military and defence-related technologies
- A keen interest in learning and applying new elements of engineering and physics
- Ability to work well in a small group of multi-disciplined engineers
- Highly organized with meticulous attention to detail
- Eagerness to learn
- Willingness to travel and provide presentations
