Michigan Technological University is an R1 technological research university founded in 1885 in Houghton. Our rural campus is situated just miles from Lake Superior in Michigan's scenic Upper Peninsula and is home to nearly 7,500 students from more than 60 countries around the world.

Summary

*This position has the possibility of being located in Ann Arbor, Michigan or Dayton, Ohio.*

At Michigan Tech Research Institute (MTRI), we develop advanced technologies that help our nation better understand, sense, and operate within complex natural and human-made environments. We are seeking a Radar Signal Processing Engineer II to support research and development in radar sensing technologies, including radar signal processing, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and electronic warfare applications.

Responsibilities and Essential Duties

1. Develop and evaluate radar signal processing algorithms for detection, estimation, and imaging applications.
2. Develop and evaluate radar signal processing chains for sensing applications.
3. Support development and testing of SAR processing techniques including image formation and motion compensation.
4. Conduct modeling and simulation of radar systems and signal processing chains using tools such as MATLAB or Python.
5. Analyze radar datasets and support development of feature extraction techniques.
6. Assist with laboratory experiments and prototype radar sensing systems.
7. Document technical work through internal reports and presentations.
8. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including RF engineers, systems engineers, and data scientists.
9. Contribute to technical reports and support proposal development activities.

Required Education, Certifications, Licensures

Bachelor’s degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related technical field.

Required Experience

Minimum of 2 years relevant experience with Bachelor’s degree, OR a Master’s degree in a relevant field. Experience with scientific programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, or C++.
