Description
Leidos is seeking a Radar Test and Evaluation Engineer with practical experience in the design and/or test of RF and Radar Systems, including Electronic Warfare (EW) techniques and countermeasures.
Today, EW is a growing need - protecting the warfighter and our national security against ever-adapting threats. As part of our team, you will focus on the first steps towards a fully autonomous cognitive EW system. More broadly, you will advance the state of the art in research and advanced applications to support ongoing and future EW programs. You'll simultaneously get to work alongside scientists and experts in these fields to help grow your own knowledge and career.
