Sensors Fall/Spring Co-op – RF Systems Engineer

Are you motivated by opportunities to learn and grow? Do you want to collaborate with researchers, scientists and engineers in your field of study and apply your knowledge to projects that solve real problems? If so, then a co-op at STR is the opportunity for you! At STR, we recognize the importance of our employees to the company's success. Our program is the ideal way for us to get to know you, and for you to try out STR as a workplace. Join us and we will help you do meaningful and challenging work in your specialty. You'll be paired with a mentor and collaborate with our staff on real solutions to hard problems related to national security.

The Sensors Division focuses on technology development for advanced sensor systems, particularly in the areas of airborne/surface-based radar, electronic warfare, underwater acoustics, hyperspectral imaging and EO/IR sensing. Within this role, we perform work on full system prototypes, experiment campaigns and technology component development. Particular development roles within the Sensors Division include RF analog/digital hardware, acoustic hardware, signal processing algorithms, machine learning algorithms, tracking/fusion, as well as real-time embedded processor implementation.
