Radar and Telemetry Lead

The Radar and Telemetry Lead is responsible for planning, designing, and managing all remote sensing solutions that support test activities at the Test Range and off-site operations. This includes oversight of tracking and surveillance radar instrumentation, electro-optical tracking systems, flight termination systems, and telemetry. The role ensures accurate test data capture, system integrity, and continuous improvement of remote sensing capabilities.

Key Accountabilities:

Test Planning & Design

• Collaborate with test specialists and clients to establish optimum instrumentation for tests requiring radars, electro-optical trackers, and telemetry.
• Define and validate setups for flight termination systems in air tests.
• Develop detailed equipment location plans to ensure complete and accurate data capture.
• Ensure remote sensing integration across all test phases (planning, execution, reporting).
• Develop sensor coverage maps to optimize line-of-sight and minimize data loss.
  
  

• Produce detailed test procedures for technicians to follow during data capture.
• Supervise instrumentation technicians during test execution to ensure required data is collected.
• Lead test engineers and technicians in developing test reports, formatting captured data for inclusion.
• Oversee real-time monitoring of radar, EO, and telemetry feeds during tests to ensure system performance and data integrity.
• Coordinate remote sensing resources during simultaneous or multi-domain test campaigns.
  
  

• Ensure all remote sensing equipment is calibrated, maintained, and operated per Range documentation.
• Conduct system validation and end-to-end checks of radar, telemetry, and EO tracking prior to tests.
• Manage data acquisition systems, ensuring compatibility with radars, EO trackers, and telemetry systems.
• Establish data quality standards for signal reception, telemetry decoding, and radar/EO imagery.
• Monitor technology trends to optimize equipment use and recommend new acquisitions as needed.
• Develop redundancy and contingency plans for remote sensing system failures during tests.
  
  

• Provide technical leadership and guidance to engineers and technicians during test activities.
• Partner with the Engineering Manager to develop skillsets of remote sensing teams, particularly in radar, EO systems, telemetry, and FTS.
• Develop and deliver training programs for technicians on radar operations, EO tracking, and telemetry data handling.
• Contribute to documentation updates, SOPs, and technical manuals related to remote sensing systems.
  
  

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace, Systems Engineering, or a related field (Master’s preferred).
• 8+ years of experience in radar systems, telemetry, and test instrumentation, with at least 3 years in a leadership role.
• Strong expertise in tracking radars, electro-optical systems, telemetry systems, and flight termination systems.
• Proven ability to design test setups, procedures, and data capture strategies in complex test environments.
• Excellent leadership, communication, and client-facing collaboration skills.
• Knowledge of equipment calibration, maintenance, and system lifecycle management.
  
  

• Technical excellence in radar and telemetry systems.
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making skills.
• Ability to manage multidisciplinary teams under high-pressure test conditions.
• Continuous improvement mindset and awareness of emerging technologies.
