Job Description
Position Summary
At MAG, we provide and enable real-time situational awareness to help our customers make the world smaller and safer. We are laser focused on serving our customers by providing technical expertise, operational excellence, and flawless execution. Our success is due entirely to the high caliber of employees we recruit, hire, and retain. At MAG, we look for individuals who thrive in a high-performance environment where challenges are the norm and success is expected.
The Senior RF / EMI / TEMPEST Engineer is the technical authority for radio frequency (RF), electromagnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC), TEMPEST and emission security (EMSEC), and high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) survivability across MAG Aerospace's U.S. European Command (USEUCOM) command and control portfolio: mobile command platforms, fixed and survivable C2 facilities and SCIFs, and communications and terminal programs. The mobile C2 platform is the current anchor, and the same competency applies to fixed-facility TEMPEST and ICD 705 accreditation, antenna and terminal integration, and survivability across the portfolio.
The engineer owns antenna integration, the electromagnetic survivability basis, and the RED and BLACK separation and emanation security for the systems in scope, on the mobile platform and at fixed C2 operations spaces and SCIFs as the portfolio requires.
