    We are seeking an engineer to support the design, test, and evaluation of ground-based electronic warfare (EW) systems for C-UAS (counter-unmanned aerial systems) and counter-RCIED (Radio-controlled Improvised Explosive Devices) applications.

    As a member of our team, you will become a subject matter expert on ground-based jamming systems and both UAS and RCIED threats. You will develop and integrate countermeasures (including algorithm development and signal processing), and test their effectiveness in a high-tech laboratory and on government over-the-air test ranges. You will be joining a dedicated team of engineers and scientists who work with Government and Industry. We are passionate about providing advanced RF systems to protect U.S. citizens, service members, and allies.

This includes but is not limited to developing and optimizing electronic countermeasures requirements analysis and definition risk and capability assessments and EW system test and evaluation. This includes having a thorough knowledge of the EW system under test, the threats being used during the test, common test infrastructure configurations and test instrumentation.
    • You will apply your knowledge of UAS, RCIED, RF electronics and communications, and related technologies to enhance the performance of EW systems and provide subject matter expertise on UAS and RCIED threats.
    • You will work with Government and Industry partners in the development of next generation EW systems.
    • You will support trade studies that analyze and compare EW system concepts and technology alternatives in terms of effectiveness, cost, and risk.
    • You will provide technical expertise during field and laboratory test and evaluation events.
    • You will perform data analysis in support of both pre-test activities and post-test reporting of EW systems capabilities in over-the-air performance assessment.
    • You will work with other team members in the application of systems engineering and test design consistent with government standards and practices for development, evaluation and sustainment of RF electronic systems.
    Qualifications

    You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...

    • Possess a Bachelor 's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, or another related technical discipline.
    • Have relevant experience in test engineering, RF systems prototyping, RF signal processing, RF modeling and simulation, or analysis and development of RF subsystems, OR a Master 's degree in these fields with experience.
