Validate end‑to‑end and visualize results, run functional/regression test campaigns, debug any issues, and use MATLAB or Python to create plots that convey model behavior to engineers and stakeholders.
Collaborate in an Agile environment to include participating in sprint planning, stand‑ups, and retrospectives; contribute to design/code reviews; help shape emerging requirements as the product evolves.

The successful candidate will have:
C++ (or another object‑oriented language) experience – ability to write, refactor, and extend code.
Comfortable participating in Agile sprint ceremonies, translating customer capability documents into clear design artifacts (UML/SysML, interface specs), and helping prioritize work.
Interest in radar modeling & simulation, a willingness to learn radar concepts and use MATLAB or Python for extracting simulation data, building plots, and communicating results to the team.
