AI & Signal Processing Engineer (Associate Staff) - MIT Lincoln Laboratory
Lexington, MA
About the Job
The Advanced RF Techniques and Systems Group innovates and demonstrates novel algorithms and architectures to impact missions covering the RF electromagnetic spectrum.
We collaborate with academia, industry, and the government to demonstrate rigorous solutions to the most important defense problems in wireless communications and sensing. We develop and prototype new techniques for digital signal processing and machine learning to enable multi-function wideband systems. We also apply new multi-channel, multi-beam, multi-function RF aperture technologies and push the boundaries of high-performance computing to address the most relevant technology problems unique to government spectrum operations.
The Position:
The Group is seeking creative and enthusiastic candidates with an interest in applying signal processing and artificial intelligence techniques to develop novel algorithms that enable new capabilities in next-generation RF communication systems. Typical assignments include algorithm design, analysis, and implementation; communication system analysis; software and hardware prototyping and test activities; documentation and planning; and field experimentation, data collection, and post-experiment analysis.
Required Skills:
- M.S. Degree in Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, Mathematics or related field
- Experience with scripting and analysis tools such as Matlab and Python
- Highly effective written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to work effectively in a team and set priorities
- Outstanding analytical and problem-solving skills
Preferred Skills:
- Coursework or experience in wireless communication systems, information theory, detection and estimation theory, stochastic processes, and/or linear algebra
- Experience applying unsupervised and supervised machine learning techniques to solve signal/data processing problems
- Exposure to commercial communication devices and standards (3GPP, WiFi, Bluetooth, etc…)
This position will include a mixture of on-site, travel, and remote work as needed to support integration and field events.
