YOUR ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
As part of our dynamic engineering development team, you will apply broad technical knowledge and skills in various scientific/technical disciplines for the design, analysis, planning, and development of major subsystems and small-scale systems. The Engineer must have a propensity to create system architectures or top-level designs, and perform simulations/circuit analysis for system-level requirements. Must be capable of performing trade-based studies on performance, schedule, cost, reliability, and manufacturability goals. This will involve:
- Propose technical (re-)solutions and their impact on cost, schedule and risk
- Define top-level system architectures using functional elements of a system; RF/antenna, digital, I/O, SW, power, mechanical
- Requirements development/management including derivation/decomposition
- Generate block/flow diagrams, interconnection drawings (ICDs), wire lists
- Conduct trade analysis, architectural studies, and performance modeling
- Generate models or simulations aiding in predicted performance for compliance
- Recommend, plan, lead, review, and identify risks for R&D efforts
- Integrate and test modules or subsystems in various laboratory or field environments
- Generate technical content for submission and/or briefing to internal/external customers
- Occasional domestic travel to support government/industry sponsored activities; industry-days, CONOP exercises, technical interchanges
Qualifications:
Minimum Qualifications:
- B.S. in Electrical Engineering, RF systems, Physics or equivalent experience
- Eight (8)+ years of technical work experience with RF component exposure
- Familiarity with requirements management/development (tools such as; DOORS, Jama)
- Five (5)+ years of experience working with RF/microwave concepts & terminology; dB, dBm, EIRP, G/T, Noise Figure, P1dB, VSWR
- Five (5)+ years of laboratory experience with test equipment (e.g. network analyzer, signal generator, oscilloscope, etc.)
- Five (5)+ years of experience with frequencies from microwave to millimeter wave (2 to 40 GHz)
- Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance.
This position requires access to technology, materials, software or hardware that is controlled by US export laws. In order to be eligible for this position, you must be a “US Person” under US export laws (or eligible for approval under a U.S. Government export license).
We are interested in every qualified candidate who is eligible to work in the United States. However, we are not able to sponsor visas.
Salary Range: RF Systems Design Engineer IV: $(phone number removed) - $(phone number removed) annually. Applicable pay within the posted range may vary based on factors including, but not limited to, geographical location, job function of the position, education, and experience of the successful candidate.
