Job Description

Company: MIT Lincoln Laboratory

The Advanced Concepts & Technologies Group is looking for exceptional engineers, scientists, and mathematicians who are excited to work on challenging problems and join our team. The group develops technology to protect our deployed sailors, soldiers, and assets against advanced missile threats, while enabling operations in a rapidly evolving complex Electronic Warfare (EW) environment. The group’s research and development activities include concepts design, advanced algorithms development, software and hardware prototyping, experimental field-testing, and data analysis. Our team focuses on creating new capabilities through rapid prototyping of software and hardware. Of particular interest to the group is the development of advanced electronic warfare systems prototypes, advanced sensors prototypes, novel signal processing techniques, resource allocation and mathematical optimization approaches, and artificial intelligence to enable the development of next generation systems for fleet and surface assets defense.

Due to the wide-ranging nature of research, this dynamic group is comprised of a diverse team of scientists and engineers with expertise in physics, mathematics, computer science, and various engineering backgrounds. The group values inclusiveness, fosters mentoring at all levels, and promotes critical and innovative thinking to address the needs of the nation. The candidate will be part of a highly collaborative team that thrives in solving complex challenges, fosters innovation, supports career growth, and is dedicated to making a positive impact in our nation.

Advances artificial intelligence and machine learning have revolutionized many domains, including the future of electronic warfare systems that must observe, exploit and deny the increasingly complex and congested EM spectrum. Group 39 seeks a researcher with experience in artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques that may be applied to electronic warfare systems. The candidate should be able to quickly learn applied EW concepts and work mission experts to apply techniques that can directly benefit the DoD community. The candidate should be able to work well in teams and is expected to effectively participate in fast-paced, multi-disciplinary teams of system design, system integration, signal and data analysis engineers and scientists.

Candidate should be a motivated self-starter with the ability and interest to learn new application areas and leverage knowledge in physics, mathematics, or related engineering fields to solve complex problems. Significant experience with application of signal processing, AI/ML techniques, or complex dynamical systems is desired. Knowledge and experience with design and analysis tools such as MATLAB or equivalent is required. Demonstrated oral and written communications skills are necessary.

Requirements:

Ph.D. in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field. In lieu of a Ph.D., a Master's degree with 5 years of experience, or over 10 yrs. of directly related experience will be considered.

Selected candidate will be subject to a pre-employment background investigation and must be able to obtain and maintain a Secret level DoD security clearance.

MIT Lincoln Laboratory is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment and will not be discriminated against on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, veteran status, disability status, or genetic information; U.S. citizenship is required.
