• Using high levels of ingenuity to identify and innovate new solutions to complex RF problems
• Working with industry experts to develop and deliver next-generation RF technologies
• Participating in technical discussions to assist in near- and long-term planning
• Developing and running software using MATLAB/SIMULINK and/or Python
• Providing assessments and recommendations for major RF subsystems like phased array antennas, RF signal processors (GPU and FPGA based), and computer algorithms
• Creating and presenting complex technical presentations related to RF systems to high-level program management and military officers
• Reviewing technical reports from across the Department of Defense (DoD) and Intelligence Community (IC)
• Testing designs and ideas in state-of-the-art HWIL/HITL labs
• Providing technical expertise in one or more of the following:
• Digital signal processing
• Radio wave propagation
• Threat RF systems exploitation
• RF and/or digital hardware design and integration
• Waveform development and modeling
• Electronic Warfare (EW) systems
• Guidance and Navigation techniques
  
  

Required Qualifications For This Role
