RF ENGINEER 1

We are looking for you to join our team as an Engineer RF Microwave Design based out of Pt Mugu, CA. The qualified candidate will have the opportunity to develop solutions for our customer’s most difficult technical challenges. Candidates must be self-motivated systems thinkers that can work as part of an engineering team.

Supporting the JEACO project, developing EW
payloads for aircraft to support the Marine Corps. Including development,
prototyping, testing and demonstration.


Responsibilities:

• RF systems development
• Performance analysis
• Data analysis
• Support of firmware, software and hardware integration and test
• Follow supplied USMC operational scenarios, requirements, and architecture framework (DoDAF) for system development.
• Assist the senior systems engineer with the generation and documentation of a new system’s architecture and design (power, RF, and functional block diagrams).
• Review system thermal, safety, and reliability analyses.
• Assist the senior system engineers with new system design features to enhance USMC supportability and maintainability of the system.
• Research and make recommendations on COTS components for system development based on system performance requirements, size, weight, and power constraints, etc.
• Support system prototyping at the bench level, in order to technically evaluate potential COTS components for possible use in new systems and to then evaluate subsequent system design performance.
• Run and develop subsystem Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs).
• Support the review of electro-mechanical system drawings.
• Assist with the troubleshooting system failures and performance issues.
• Support the use of key processes, such as the configuration management for system changes after the system baseline is established.
• Support test’s evaluation of system performance in the lab. Operate the system and test equipment to evaluate functional and RF performance against requirements.
• Review system design documentation and operational checklists, procedures, user manuals, training materials, and other technical publications for technical accuracy and completeness.
