Job Description
What you'll build and contribute
Contribute directly to the development of advanced RF technologies that support critical defense missions. This is a highly hands-on individual-contributor role focused on communications-system design and implementation, modeling, integration, HWIL testing, field demonstration, validation, and operational deployment. A core focus is developing and evaluating RF communications capabilities that must perform in challenged or contested environments. The position does not carry technical team-lead responsibilities.
You'll work across:
• Electronic Warfare capabilities and applications, with opportunities to support Electronic Attack, Electronic Support, Electronic Protection, and countermeasure development.
• Software Defined Radio solutions, including software, embedded processing, and integration with firmware-based radio platforms and secure embedded communications systems.
• Tactical RF communications, SATCOM, resilient networking, radar, and RF sensing technologies.
• AI-enabled RF analysis, mission systems, and adaptive signal-processing capabilities as part of the broader program environment.
• RF algorithm development, communications-system modeling, mission simulation, and scenario development using MATLAB, Python, or comparable tools.
• System integration, hardware-in-the-loop testing, field testing, validation, and live customer demonstrations.
• Close collaboration with RF, software, hardware, cybersecurity, and systems engineers across the program.
What we're looking for
• U.S. citizenship and an active DoD Secret security clearance are required, with the ability to obtain and maintain TS/SCI.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical discipline.
• 8+ years of relevant experience in RF systems, communications engineering, SDR, radar, Electronic Warfare, or a related field.
• Demonstrated hands-on experience developing RF communications systems from design through implementation, integration, test, and operational demonstration or deployment.
• Experience with SDR frameworks and platforms such as GNU Radio, REDHAWK, USRP/UHD, Epiq, or comparable technologies.
• Experience using MATLAB, Python, or comparable tools for RF modeling, simulation, algorithm development, or data analysis.
• Experience with C/C++ for embedded or systems-level applications.
• Experience supporting system integration, HWIL testing, mission simulation, field testing, validation, or customer demonstrations.
• Experience with one or more of the following: tactical communications, SATCOM, resilient networking, radar, RF sensing, or Electronic Warfare systems.
• Deep understanding of communications-system design, including waveforms, modulation/demodulation, coding, synchronization, link performance, RF/DSP tradeoffs, waveform performance analysis, and related signal-processing techniques.
• Ability to independently lead analysis of communications-system behavior in challenged or contested RF environments and develop technical approaches to improve friendly-system performance, resilience, and mission effectiveness or to influence/degrade adversary RF system performance.
• Ability to independently execute complex technical tasks while collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
• Strong technical communication skills, including the ability to document and present findings to internal teams, program leadership, and government stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with Electronic Attack, Electronic Support, Electronic Protection, or countermeasure development.
• Experience integrating software with firmware-based SDR or embedded radio platforms.
• Experience supporting defense or government programs through field testing or operational deployment.
• Exposure to AI-enabled RF analysis or adaptive mission systems.
