DescriptionAre you experienced with software development for test and integration of new capabilities onto Electronic Warfare systems?
Are you passionate about commercial and/or military communication systems, including terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks?
Are you motivated to work on a multidisciplinary team to help solve some of the most complex problems facing the United States and its allies in the Radio Frequency (RF) spectrum?
If so, we're looking for someone like you to join the Electronic Warfare Systems Group (KAB) within the Force Projection Sector (FPS)!
Our team is responsible for developing, integrating, testing and evaluating algorithms targeted at countering UAS (unmanned aerial systems) and RCIED (remote-controlled improvised explosive devices) threats to protect our warfighters and allies.
As a Communications Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems Developer, you will...- Develop algorithms for deployment on tactical hardware: apply Digital Signal Processing (DSP) and wireless protocol techniques and software best practices to create and analyze signals of complex communication systems.
- Test and evaluate: Operate lab equipment (spectrum analyzers, signal generators, software defined radios (SDR or protocol analyzers) to verify and benchmark the software you develop.
- Analyze trade-offs for performance and hardware utilization: Turn test data into actionable insights on performance, hardware utilization, and system-level trade.
- Apply your knowledge: Provide technical expertise during field and laboratory test and evaluation events.
- Work on a team: You'll be part of a high-performing, knowledge-rich team that thrives on collaboration and shared success.
QualificationsYou meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you...- Have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or another relevant technical field.
- Have at least five years of relevant experience developing and integrating code (C, C++, Python, MATLAB) for communications, electronic warfare, or other tactical systems.
- Have experience in hardware and software testing with embedded communication systems.
- Have demonstrated the ability to document and maintain software code bases using tools such as: Gitlab, Bitbucket, or Confluence.
- Have demonstrated strong verbal and written communication skills as well as the ability to work in a multifunctional, collaborative team environment.
- Are willing to occasionally travel to off-site facilities for integration and test events.
- Are able to obtain an Interim Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a TS/SCI level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.
You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you...- Have a Master's degree or PhD in Computer/Electrical Engineering or Computer Science, or another relevant technical field.
- Have familiarity with the Layer 1 - 3 protocol stack for cellular standards such as 4G/LTE and 5G.
- Have experience with generating C or C++ code from MATLAB using CodeGen.
- Have experience with software defined radios, GNURadio, and open-source protocol stacks such as srsRAN and OAI.
- Hold an active Secret security clearance or higher.
