Full Job Description
Key Responsibilities
Lead the development of system- and subsystem-level requirements for an RF chamber supporting a Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) environment that includes a high-density RF array wall and full-motion simulation capabilities.
Architect and design the RF chamber layout, including array wall feed networks, signal distribution, shielding, isolation, and integration interfaces.
Oversee the complete installation of RF equipment, cabling, interconnects, and support infrastructure within the chamber, ensuring compliance with design intent, safety, and performance requirements.
Lead RF hardware integration efforts, including amplifiers, filters, switches, antennas, and array wall elements, into the HITL test environment.
Own verification and validation (V&V) planning and execution for the RF chamber and associated simulation subsystems, including performance characterization, path-loss modeling, noise analysis, and real-time target/background fidelity assessment.
Develop, validate, and maintain RF simulation models (using tools such as HFSS, CST, MATLAB, or equivalent) to support chamber design, array wall performance prediction, and HITL scenario generation.
Collaborate with systems engineers, supporting sub-system teams, and software developers to ensure seamless integration of RF components into the overall HITL architecture.
Conduct technical performance analysis, troubleshooting, and root-cause resolution of RF subsystems and simulation environments throughout integration and test phases.
Interface directly with customers and internal stakeholders to support RF design reviews, requirements reviews, and technical interchange meetings.
Required Qualifications
10+ years in RF engineering, with a focus on antenna arrays, RF circuit design, or electromagnetic simulation.
Strong grasp of electromagnetic/antenna theory and Radars and RF Signatures.
Experience with Antenna Array Walls, RF Test and measurement, RF Circuit Design.
Familiarity with hardware-in-the-loop (HITL) testing and RF lab instrumentation (e.g., VNAs, spectrum analyzers).
Excellent documentation and communication skills for cross-functional collaboration.
Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant engineering or scientific discipline.
U.S. citizenship with an active TOP SECRET clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
Have foundational knowledge of signal processing algorithms to support RF system analysis, test design, and performance optimization in HITL environments.
Familiarity with Python, MATLAB, C++, and radar cross-section modeling
