The Opportunity:
We are seeking an RF engineer to work with the Army's premier signal intelligence R&D engineering team. You will be integrated at the cutting edge of applied RF research, experimental modeling, and empirical validation, directly developing solutions for critical national security challenges. Leverage industry-standard bench instrumentationsuch as Vector Network Analyzers (VNAs), Spectrum Analyzers, and high-bandwidth Oscilloscopesto evaluate RF front-ends, antennas, and mixed-signal architectures to troubleshoot complex hardware and analyze empirical test data to optimize wireless systems under real-world conditions.
Responsibilities:
Develop high-fidelity RF characterization models, link budget analyses, and simulations to predict system performance prior to hardware builds
Characterize novel RF front ends, transceivers, and sub-assemblies across broad operational frequency ranges
Correlate empirical lab and field measurement data with predictive models to refine simulations and system architectures
Design, coordinate, and execute conduct RF experimentation in a RF benchtop lab, anechoic chamber and field environment
Conduct antenna pattern measurements to include far-field and near-field measurements, beam pattern verification, and antenna gain evaluations
Perform outdoor range propagation experiments and operational stress assessments
Qualifications:
Required:
TS/SCI clearance must be current
