This is a driven Systems Engineering position to develop advanced RF algorithms, models, and integrate with a complex system in a highly dynamic, fast paced organization that is growing rapidly. Actively breaking into a new market, you will work directly with other SMEs to deliver a product from start to finish. Some aspects have legacy implementations, but the majority will be developed from scratch.

The Engineering, Science and Analysis (ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery of high-impact discriminating technologies for our customers’ missions. Our collaborative, cross-functional teams are committed to innovation, integrity, continual learning and strong execution.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and develop RF algorithms (e.g. RADAR, IFF), predict their performance, and work with the software team to deliver a product.
• Mentor/guide junior engineers to work as a cohesive team.
• Evaluate RF sensing payload technology, develop or leverage company or subcontractor technologies and sensors as an offering for the identified opportunities.
• Lead architecture planning and ensuring customer requirements will be met.
• Perform V&V on RF algorithms in isolation and integrated into larger systems.
• Perform systems engineering tasks throughout a program or Research and Development (R&D) project lifecycle.
• Contribute to the decomposition and allocation of RF payload requirements to lower-level specifications. Refine requirements as necessary.
• Develop software Interface Control Documents (ICD).
• Collaborate with subject matter experts from other disciplines.
• Work alongside AI&T engineers to support the test configurations, verification approaches, and analysis plans necessary for system verification.
• Prepare and deliver presentations to peers, management, and/or customers, as required.
• Support program gates such as the System Requirements Review (SRR), Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), and Test Readiness Review (TRR).
• Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
• Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment.
• Perform other duties as necessary.

On-Site Work Environment: This position requires regular in-person engagement by working on-site five days each normally scheduled week in the primary work location. Travel and local commute between company campuses and other possible non-company locations may be required.

Working Conditions:

• Work is performed in an office, laboratory, production floor, or cleanroom, outdoors or remote research environment.
• May occasionally work in production work centers where use of protective equipment and gear is required.
• May access other facilities in various weather conditions.

• BS degree or higher in Engineering or a related technical field is required plus 6 or more years related experience.
• Each higher-level degree, i.e., Master's Degree and/or Ph.D., may substitute for two years of experience. Related technical experience may be considered in lieu of education. Degree must be from a university, college, or school which is accredited by an agency recognized by the US Secretary of Education, US Department of Education.
• A current, active Secret security clearance is required with the ability to obtain and maintain a TS/SCI.
• Familiarity in computer application skills, such as Python, Matlab, C++, and other analytical tools.
• Experience in MBSE.
• Experience in multiple lifecycle phases in RF programs from concept development and program kick- off through post-delivery support.
• Demonstrated technical and interpersonal skills—ability to work with a team, resolve disconnects.
• Effective communication skills are essential, including the ability to understand the team’s needs, ask insightful questions, and provide clear communication of proposed solutions.

• Experience in Cameo.
