ManTech is seeking an Electrical Engineer experienced in underwater acoustics to work with a team of Engineers and Technicians across a portfolio of engineering services.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:

• Candidate will engage with Senior Engineers for design reviews, troubleshooting, and implementing technical solutions associated with US Navy related acoustics systems.
• Performs a variety of moderately complex software and/or hardware engineering activities of an analysis, design, or test nature.
• Participates on project teams and provides guidance to less experienced engineers and technical staff.
• Plans, conducts, and may supervise research, development, or installation of products and systems in conformance with engineering design and customer specification.

Minimum Requirements:

• Minimum Education: A Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering
• Minimum Experience: Three years of experience with both acoustics and signal processing. The experience shall also include a thorough understanding of acoustic measurement systems, in-water measurement arrays, the interfacing of hardware and the development of software.
• Knowledge of all factors that must be taken into consideration for in-water acoustics, to include distance, sound speed in the water, sound velocity profile, absorption, spreading loss, reflection, sensitivity, and receive/projection patterns of hydrophones and sources.

Desired Qualifications:

• Ocean engineering of complex in-water arrays, in-water installation of arrays in harsh environments, a thorough understanding of acoustic measurement system calibration (both electronic and in-water), array validation, and maintenance of in-water arrays.
• Real time acquisition and analysis of acoustic data from ships and submarines.
• Hydrophone calibration complete with equations used to arrive at the final data products. Obtained the calibration data, integrated and reduced it to the data products needed such as Free Field Voltage Sensitivity, Open Circuit Voltage Sensitivity, and Electrical Coupling.
• Working knowledge of underwater acoustic tracking systems and their operation, including factors such as geometry, frequencies, timing, signal types, and transducers used.
• Deployment, configuration, and use of hydrophones, sources and portable measurement/projection systems. Hands on experience in the buildup, testing, debugging, and calibration of underwater acoustic systems. Perform detailed preparations, such as calibration injects, voltage measurements, current/resistance measurements, system integration, troubleshooting, compiling the data, and evaluating the results.

Desired Skills:

• Analog Sensors and Interface: Hydrophones, Accelerometers, Voltage, IEPE, ICP, CVLD, CCLD
• Analog Signal Conditioning: PreAmp, Amplifiers, Low/High Pass Filters, Single Ended and Differential Drivers
• FPGA design, both device hardware and IDE software: Altera, Xilinx, Actel, Lattice
• VHDL experience
• PCB design software: Altium, KiCAD, Eagle
• MATLAB
• C language and IDE: Eclipse, NI CVI
• NI LabView
• Operating Systems: Windows 10, Sever 2019/2022; Linux (RedHat 8, CentOS 8)
• Cybersecurity Workforce: IAT I/II certification
