Dahlgren, VA (On-Site/Office)
We are seeking a Radio Frequency (RF) Engineer to join our team supporting electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) testing and design for naval systems. In this role, you’ll perform electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) assessments, develop and execute shielding effectiveness tests, and support the design and integration of next-generation RF sensors and systems.
This position will focus on technical development, test execution, and innovation in the electromagnetic pulse (EMP), EMI/EMC, and RF antenna space. The ideal candidate will bring a strong foundation in applied RF engineering and a passion for advancing defense technology through rigorous experimentation and modeling.
Responsibilities
-Design, simulate, and fabricate RF components and antennas for defense applications
-Support transient EMC/EMP test campaigns, including planning, instrumentation setup, and data analysis
-Develop scripts in MATLAB and other tools to automate data acquisition and post-processing
-Generate test plans, technical reports, and standard operating procedures (SOPs)
-Operate and maintain RF test equipment including spectrum analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, and network analyzers
-Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams including electrical, mechanical, and software engineers
Required Qualifications
-Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline
-5+ years of experience in RF systems design, EMC/EMI testing, or antenna development
-Proficiency in RF test instrumentation and data analysis workflows
-Familiarity with MATLAB, CST Studio Suite, and/or Ansys HFSS
-Strong technical writing and verbal communication skills
-U.S. Citizenship required
Desired Qualifications
-Prior experience supporting military or defense programs
-Knowledge of MIL-STD EMC/EMI standards
-Experience with data acquisition systems, custom instrumentation, or embedded programming (C/C++)
Why Join Us?
You’ll contribute directly to mission-critical Navy programs while working on a team known for deep technical rigor and innovation. We offer support for continued education and provide opportunities to publish, present, and develop cutting-edge RF solutions.
Salary Range: $85,000–$110,000 (based on experience)
