You will have the opportunity to think critically and work in collaboration with ADF personnel, academia and industry. You will have access to world class radar research facilities onsite in Edinburgh to assist you in your research and development.
Under guidance, the Radar Signal Processing Scientist will:
- Develop novel signal processing techniques for radar in areas including electronic protection and beam forming.
- As part of a team, implement signal processing algorithms in MATLAB, C++, and CUDA for execution both in radar testbed hardware and simulations.
- Develop software in a team environment using agile processes.
- Undertake field trials of radar systems, process results and document outcomes for military clients.
- Work collaboratively with team members from DST, industry and academia to progress research in radar signal processing. Infrequent interstate travel will be required. Overseas travel may be required.
- Participation in field trials within Australia.
This position will be offered at either the S&T3-4 Below or S&T3-4 Above, as deemed appropriate by the Delegate based on the preferred applicant’s relevant knowledge, skills and experience for the position.
