Radar Engineer
Overview
Are you interested in how radar systems detect, track, and classify real-world objects? As a Radar Engineer, you’ll work alongside experienced engineers supporting advanced Navy radar systems used for real-world defense and fleet operations.
This position is ideal for students who enjoy signal processing, electromagnetics, data analysis, modeling & simulation, and systems-level thinking. You’ll contribute to meaningful technical work—not hypothetical projects—and gain exposure to how large-scale defense systems are designed, tested, and improved.
What You’ll Work On
Interns may support projects involving:
- Radar signal processing and data analysis
- Modeling and simulation of radar systems
- System performance evaluation and testing
- Algorithm development and validation
- Sensor data visualization and interpretation
- Documentation of technical findings
- Supporting real engineering teams working on mission-critical systems
Work assignments are tailored to your academic background, interests, and skill level.
