Radar Cross Section (RCS) Engineer Job Description

T he Radar Cross Section Engineerwill be responsible for performing RCS predictions using the NRL Radar Target Signature (RTS) code, and being part of an RCS maritime signatures Design Team. The focus of this Design Team is topside signatures and low observables technology and engineering for surface combatant ships.

Responsibilities:

  • Prepare 3D surface ship models for implementation into RTS prediction software
  • Conduct specialized analysis of the RCS design using RTS
  • Participate in developing and implementing RCS budgets
  • Perform analysis both independently and as a team member
  • Using an approved surface ship RCS design specification, implement design decisions into the overall design
  • Develop RCS output data packages including statistical representations
  • Oversee the total ship RCS design model
  • Analyze results for validation of design requirements
  • Identify design deficiencies and develop recommendations for solutions
  • Develop design deliverables and present results to customer

Required Qualifications:
  • BS Degree in Physics, Engineering, or Naval Architecture (with RTS experience)
  • At least two years of work experience in RCS reduction design and methodology in a maritime setting
  • Knowledge of Physical Optics, Maxwell's Equations, Electromagnetic Theory, Wave Mechanics, ocean multipath, radars, and sea clutter scattering
