Job Description
We have an opening for an RF Imaging AlgorithmsPostdoctoral Researcher to develop and implement algorithms to process signals obtained from a high-speed microwave imaging system currently under development. This work has potential applications in a variety of fields including high speed instrumentation, shockwaves, detonation fronts, explosives safety, explosives performance, explosives model validation, medical imaging, nondestructive evaluation, and inspection of additively manufactured materials. As the main algorithms researcher supporting this project you will have the opportunity to influence the development of a first-of-its-kind high-speed microwave imaging system. You will collaborate closely with a team of engineers and technicians who are designing and fielding prototype hardware. This project leverages the leading-edge computing facilities at LLNL as well as one-of-a-kind experimental facilities such as the High Explosives Applications Facility. This position is in the Computational Electromagnetics Group of the Computational Engineering Division (CED), within the Engineering Directorate.
