Position Overview:ANSER is seeking an Electrical Engineer (RF/Signal Processing Engineer) to support advanced defense analysis efforts through scientific and engineering research, technical assessments, and system characterization activities. In this role, you will provide subject matter expertise on complex foreign electronic systems and emerging technologies, helping to assess capabilities, vulnerabilities, and operational impacts that inform national security decision-making. You will contribute to multidisciplinary analyses involving radio frequency (RF) systems, signal processing, microelectronics, sensors, guidance and control systems, and other advanced electronic technologies.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities:- Support defense analytical requirements through scientific and engineering research, technical assessments, and limitation analyses.
- Conduct reverse engineering analyses and technical characterizations of foreign electronic systems, subsystems, facilities, and equipment.
- Evaluate system performance, capabilities, vulnerabilities, and operational effectiveness of complex electronic technologies.
- Analyze electronic hardware, circuits, microelectronics, sensors, and associated subsystems to support intelligence and defense missions.
- Perform assessments of electromagnetic, electro-optical (EO), and infrared (IR) systems and their applications within current and emerging threat environments.
- Develop technical reports, briefings, and analytical products that communicate findings to government stakeholders and mission partners.
- Support facility assessments and vulnerability analyses related to foreign electronic systems and infrastructure.
- Apply electrical engineering principles across computer, electronic, optical, and power engineering disciplines to solve complex technical challenges.
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to evaluate current and projected foreign technologies and their potential operational impacts.
- Contribute to the development of innovative analytical approaches and methodologies for assessing advanced electronic systems.
Required Qualifications:- Active TS/SCI clearance with Counterintelligence (CI) Polygraph.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
- Minimum of 8 years of experience performing electrical engineering analysis, research, design, testing, or assessment activities.
- Experience evaluating electronic systems, subsystems, or components in support of defense, intelligence, research, or engineering missions.
- Knowledge of electrical engineering principles and one or more related disciplines, including computer, electronic, optical, or power engineering.
- Experience producing technical analyses, reports, or engineering assessments for government, defense, or intelligence customers.
Preferred Qualifications:- Experience analyzing complex foreign electronic systems, subsystems, facilities, or equipment.
- Experience with microelectronics and advanced electronic hardware technologies.
- Experience supporting reverse engineering, technical exploitation, or system characterization efforts.
- Knowledge of radio frequency (RF) systems, electromagnetic technologies, electro-optical systems, or infrared systems.
- Experience with software development, digital signal processing, and signal detection theory.
- Ability to communicate complex technical concepts effectively to both technical and non-technical audiences.
