Department Summary:

The Technical Intelligence Department delivers impactful engineering analyses to rapidly transform current and future warfighter operations in contested and denied environments. We accomplish this through close interaction with our United States Air Force (USAF), United States Space Force (USSF), and other sponsors as well as with senior leadership in the Intelligence, Acquisition, and Warfighting communities. Our engineering analysis is informed by intelligence assessments of both adversarial kill chains and analysis of threats to US kill chains. We conduct engineering assessments of advanced and evolving threats, perform end-to-end effects chain analysis, develop digital engineering architectures for Intelligence applications, identify potential threat mitigation options, and perform experimentation of threat mitigation capabilities.

Roles & Responsibilities:

Contribute Impactfully to our Sponsors:

  • Analyze the design of satellite communication (Satcom) antenna systems, including phased array and reflector antennas, of operational systems
  • Conduct modeling and simulation to predict antenna performance in various environments and under different operational conditions
  • Support the development of digital engineering architectures for Intelligence applications related to Satcom systems
  • Participate in end-to-end effects chain analysis to assess the impact of adversarial threats and identify potential mitigation strategies
  • Engage in experimentation and prototyping of new antenna technologies and threat mitigation capabilities
  • Stay abreast of advancements in antenna and Satcom technologies, and assess their applicability to future warfighter operations in contested and denied environments
  • Develop tailored, engineering-level Intelligence assessments that provide deep insights into adversary systems enabling engineering research, experimentation, prototype development, acquisition, test and evaluation, and operational execution of cyber and electronic warfare solutions
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand how the adversary integrates antenna systems with satellite payloads and platforms

Basic Qualifications:

  • Typically requires a minimum of 5 years of related experience with a Bachelor's degree; or 3 years and a Master's degree; or a PhD with relevant experience who can immediately contribute at this job step; or equivalent combination of related education and work experience

  • Proficient in the use of antenna design and analysis software (e.g., HFSS, CST, FEKO)
  • Strong understanding of RF principles and electromagnetic theory
  • Experience with modeling and simulation tools for predicting antenna performance
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a multidisciplinary team environment
  • Ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI clearance
  • This position has an on-site requirement of 5 days a week on-site

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Experience with digital engineering tools and methodologies
  • Knowledge of intelligence assessments and threat analysis related to Satcom systems
  • Familiarity with spectral regulations and standards governing satellite communications
  • Experience in Space Systems Operations
  • Experience with operations involving EW, cyber, and/or EW-enabled cyber threats
  • Experience in conducting outdoor antenna range testing and measurements
  • Demonstrated ability to innovate and develop novel solutions to complex technical challenges
