    Description

    QTEC Aerospace is seeking an RF ENGINEER to join our team of professionals in Huntsville, AL. The qualified applicant will become part of a team of professionals representing both industry and government. The successful candidate will be detail oriented, have a proven track record and a positive work ethic.
    Job Summary
    QTEC Aerospace is looking for highly capable and motivated individuals. The successful candidate will function as an integral member of a multi-contractor team providing program, engineering, and technical support to Missile Defense programs. The selected Engineer will serve as a senior technical contributor supporting a ground station modernization effort transitioning from legacy parabolic antenna architecture to an advanced phased array communications system. This role is not a hands-on hardware design position, but rather a technically rigorous systems and integration role responsible for guiding supplier development, ensuring compliance with requirements, and managing technical risk across the program lifecycle.
    Job Duties/Responsibilities
    Responsibilities will include, but may not be limited to the following:

    • Provide end-to-end technical oversight across the RF / Communications signal chain, from the modem through the RF front end and antenna subsystem
    • Support requirements development and flow-down, review architecture and interface definitions, evaluate integration approaches, and assess verification of test plans and results
    • Leverage prior hardware development experience to assess design trades, evaluate architectures, and ensure delivered solutions meet performance, reliability, and integration objectives
    • Regular customer-facing engagement, requiring briefings to communicate technical progress, system performance status, support requirements, test, and architectural discussions with stakeholders
    • Translate complex technical information into clear, actionable insights for both internal leadership and the MDA customer
    Minimum Education and Experience
    • Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering with 12 years of related experience with a focus on RF, communications systems, or electromagnetics; Master of Science in Electrical Engineering with 10 years of related experience; Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering with 8 years of related experience
    Required Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
    • Minimum of 8 years of professional experience supporting RF and/or communications systems development, integration, or test within a complex engineering or acquisition environment
    • Demonstrated experience working with hardware development programs, including the ability to review and assess supplier designs, technical documentation, and performance data without direct ownership of detailed hardware design
    • Strong understanding of antenna theory and communications system fundamentals (e.g., EVM, Modulation / Demodulation, FEC), including modem architecture, digital signal processing concepts, RF front-end components, and board-level integration considerations
    • Working knowledge of board-level electrical issues, including power & signal integrity, EMI/EMC considerations, grounding, and shielding, with the ability to identify risks and assess mitigation approaches
    • Experience applying systems engineering principles, including requirements development and flow-down, interface definition, verification and validation, configuration control, and technical risk management
    • Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot complex system-level issues by analyzing hardware, software, and RF interactions, coordinating root-cause investigations with suppliers and cross-functional teams
    • Excellent verbal and written communication skills with proven ability to communicate technical concepts clearly and effectively to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, including customer-facing briefings and participation in formal technical reviews
    • Ability to work independently in a fast-paced, multidisciplinary environment, exercising sound technical judgment with minimal oversight
    • Self-motivated and customer-oriented
    Desired Knowledge, Skills and Abilities
    • Experience in developing phased array antenna systems or ground station architectures, particularly in both static and transportable configurations
    • Familiarity with system and sub-system EMI/EMC qualification and compliance activities, including review of test plans, analysis of test results, and evaluation of design or integration mitigations
    • Experience guiding external suppliers through board-level integration, system bring-up, and troubleshooting activities during development and tests
    • Working knowledge of space, satellite communications, or ground terminal systems, including RF link performance considerations and operational constraints
    • Experience participating in or leading formal program reviews such as PDR, CDR, TRR, and customer technical interchange meetings (TIMs)
    • Background in government or defense acquisition programs, including exposure to requirements-driven development, verification documentation, and customer acceptance processes
    • Demonstrated ability to assess and mitigate technical risk across hardware, software, and RF interfaces while balancing cost, schedule, and performance
    Security Clearance
    Candidates must currently have and be able to maintain a minimum DoD SECRET level security clearance.
