Electrical Engineer for RF Systems Development

We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to join our team in developing advanced RF systems for defense applications. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in electrical engineering, RF systems, and experience with programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, C, C++, Java, or similar.

The successful candidate will be responsible for performing system-level RF analysis, including link budgets, propagation effects, and lethality assessments. They will also evaluate the lethality and effectiveness of RF and HPM systems against air and missile threats through experimentation, simulation, and analysis.

Additionally, the candidate will propose, analyze, and test novel RF concepts, including at the system level, novel waveforms, new hardware designs, etc. They will also understand kill chain integration of RF and HPM systems, working with systems engineers, combat system experts, and sensor experts to evaluate or perform activities such as end-to-end mission modeling, technical concept design, requirements definition, development phases, technical reviews, budget and schedule development.

As needed, the candidate will perform analog, RF circuit, amplifier, and/or antenna design, simulation, development, and test. Duties may include board layout, circuit-level analysis, schematic development, and test design.

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Math, Physics, or related fields
  • Experience with programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, C, C++, Java, or similar
  • Ability to obtain Interim Secret level security clearance by start date and ultimately obtain Secret level clearance
  • U.S. citizenship
  • Willingness to accommodate flexible hours for system-level testing and integration activities, infrequent travel to customer or sponsor locations, and integration and test sites
Preferred Qualifications
  • Currently hold or able to obtain Top Secret or TS/SCI level security clearance
  • Skilled in and/or have knowledge of one or more of: RF or Optical propagation, system design, or testing
  • Previous academic or professional experience developing, testing, or modeling EW, HPM, or HEL weapon systems and their effectiveness
  • Experience designing and executing conducted and radiated RF experiments, including scripting instrument control, data collection, and documentation
  • Experience with RF circuit principles and microwave and electromagnetic tools and simulators such as ADS, Microwave Office, and/or HFSS
  • Familiarity with a mechanical CAD package (SOLIDWORKS or AutoCAD)
  • Experience with layout and schematic capture tools such as Mentor and Altium
