Antenna Subject Matter Expert - JCER

The Garrett Group is seeking an experienced Antenna/RF/Signals Engineer to support the Joint Center for Electromagnetic Readiness (JCER) . This role is critical in conducting routine assessments of service deployment certification events and prerequisite training in support of Combatant Commands (CCMDs) . The engineer will play a key role in evaluating venues, units, and operations against standards such as Universal Joint Tasks (UJTs) and the EMOE Characterization Framework .

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and implement antenna system collection plans for JCER evaluations of Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO)
• Conduct technical assessments and readiness certifications with a focus on electromagnetic spectrum performance and system survivability .
• Apply deep technical understanding of electromagnetic (EM) energy transmission through space and materials to support JCER assessments.
• Analyze and evaluate system-level EM vulnerabilities and propose mitigation strategies based on aircraft survivability principles .
• Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop and refine EM performance test plans and evaluation strategies.

Required Qualifications:

• Proven experience in applied electromagnetics , particularly in assessing EM energy behavior in operational environments or materials.
• Familiarity with aircraft survivability concepts or comparable military system survivability assessments.
• Proficiency in creating and executing detailed test plans for antenna and RF system performance evaluations.
• Strong background in EM propagation, reflection, absorption , and energy interaction with different media and system structures.
• Experience with technical programming languages (e.g., C++, MATLAB, Python ) for modeling, analysis, or simulation.
• Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering , Physics , or a related discipline from an ABET-accredited
• Minimum five (5) years of relevant professional experience.

NOTE: Please ensure your resume incorporates experience applying electromagnetics and/or aircraft survivability, or comprehensive understanding of EM energy transmission through space and within material.

Desired Experience:

• Expertise in test plan development to evaluate modulation schemes for diverse wireless communication systems.
• Ability to troubleshoot and advise on RF/Antenna system performance , including baseband algorithm and signal integrity analysis.
• Experience providing recommendations to cross-functional teams for addressing wireless system issues and improving EM resilience.

If you bring a robust understanding of electromagnetics and a passion for national security, join our team at The Garrett Group and contribute directly to ensuring mission readiness in contested spectrum environments.
