If so, RF Engineering, a core component capability development activity within NSA, may be for you NSA's highly technical RF workforce keeps pace with RF advances and enables NSA to address threats to our Nation and our Allies by supporting worldwide Signals Intelligence requirements of our military commanders and national policymakers.
The NSA is seeking talented colleagues to join world class team of analysts, engineers, researchers and developers who work on projects using antenna and receiver design, RF signals analysis, end-to-end system design, and emitter location and direction finding techniques in order to design, develop and deploy advanced survey and collection capabilities to propel our mission.
At NSA, RF Engineers develop the technologies, communications and capabilities to maintain our global advantage in both information gathering and national defense.
RF Engineers acquire target signals, condition them for follow-on processing and deliver end-to-end solutions for survey, collection and emitter location and follow on analysis.
Use your unique experience and expertise to protect national security interests RF Engineers can be directly hired to support a mission organization or into the Radio Frequency Development Program (RFDP).
The RFDP is a three-year full-time paid development program for earlier career RF engineers to develop and expand skills while making meaningful contributions to NSA's mission.
This talented group will have the opportunity to take part in customized mentoring, professional development and world-wide travel while sampling a breadth of RF engineering activities.
As an RF Engineer, your responsibilities can include:
All applicants and employees are subject to random drug testing in accordance with Executive Order Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a security background investigation and polygraph.
