Ingénieur système radar F/H - ONERA

Overview

In the unit “Radar, Mesures de Signatures et Études Systèmes” (RMES), you contribute to the development of the NOSTRADAMUS radar demonstrator, a high-frequency (HF) transhorizon radar with a complex architecture and advanced signal processing. You will participate in the development of hyperfrequency test benches for the SCAF (Système de Combat Aérien du Futur) and in flight test campaigns. The role involves supporting the scale-up of the NOSTRADAMUS radar, hardware and software hardening of the system, and the design of real-time control, supervision, and signal processing software on multicore architectures for delayed-time operation. You will gain an overall view of the software and hardware architecture, enabling you to design new radar logics and advanced signal processing algorithms. You will also contribute to functional analyses and to the definition and implementation of testing and qualification tools to guarantee reliability and performance of the demonstrator. This position offers the opportunity to join a team of passionate researchers, work on cutting-edge technologies, and participate in high-visibility international projects, while tackling unique technical challenges. Your missions will be conditioned by obtaining a national defense clearance (habilitation de défense nationale).
