Plan and execute system-level integration and validation activities
Ensure alignment between system requirements, design implementation, and verification

Test, Measurement & Validation

Develop and execute test plans for RF, EW, and communications systems in lab and field environments
Analyze test data to evaluate performance, identify issues, and inform design improvements
Utilize RF test equipment (e.g., spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators)

Modeling, Simulation & Analysis

Build system-level models to evaluate RF performance (SNR, interference, propagation)
Support simulation and analysis for phased arrays, beamforming, and RF propagation
Validate models using lab and field data

Technical Leadership & Project Contributions

Lead discrete technical efforts, workstreams, or small-to-mid scale projects
Provide technical direction and mentorship to junior engineers
Serve as a key contributor to design reviews, risk assessments, and technical decisions
Support proposal writing, IRAD efforts, and customer deliverables

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Collaborate across RF design, systems engineering, antenna, software, and test teams
Interface with program leadership, customers, and external partners
Communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences

Key Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Computer Engineering, or related field
10+ years of relevant experience
Experience in:
- RF system design, integration, and analysis
- Signal processing and modeling tools (MATLAB, Python, etc.)
- RF lab/test equipment and measurement techniques
Ability to independently solve complex problems and contribute to technical strategy
Must be a US Citizen; willing to obtain and maintain DOD Top Secret clearance

Preferred Qualifications
