Responsibilities

The Radio Frequency (RF) and Sensor Systems Analyst serves as an RF and sensorrelated assessments supporting Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications (NC3) modernization and strategic deterrence missions. In this role, the analyst applies expertlevel knowledge of RF propagation, sensor phenomenology, signal characterization, and electromagnetic (EM) environment considerations to evaluate the performance, resilience, and operational suitability of RF and sensor systems across fixed, mobile, airborne, and spacebased platforms. The analyst provides authoritative technical guidance to modelers and system analysts, ensuring RF and sensor insights are accurately represented within systemofsystems models, missionlevel assessments, and analytical workflows, while not performing direct modeling activities.

The position includes leading evaluations of RF and sensor architectures to determine survivability, redundancy, and mission effectiveness in alignment with Department of War and United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) modernization objectives. The analyst develops test concepts and supports prototype evaluations, demonstrations, and experimentation activities designed to validate RF and sensor performance under realistic operational conditions. Additionally, the analyst prepares highquality technical reports, analytical findings, risk assessments, and seniorleader decisionsupport briefings. The role requires extensive coordination across USSTRATCOM directorates, Combatant Commands, and Department of War partner organizations to ensure RF and sensor requirements, modernization priorities, and technical activities remain synchronized across the enterprise.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications:

• Must be a U.S. citizen and possess an active Top Secret (TS) security clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) eligibility, along with eligibility for NC2ESI, NATO, and SAR programs on day one, and must maintain all required clearances throughout employment.
• Must be able to work full-time onsite, 5 days per week, at Offutt Air Force Base (AFB).
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
• 8+ years of experience in RF systems, sensor technologies, EM spectrum operations, or similar mission areas.
• Minimum 3 years supporting Combatant Command operations involving fixed, mobile, or airborne RF/sensor systems.
• At least 3 years of DoW experience supporting National and Nuclear C4/NC3 systems, architecture evaluations, or mission-area assessments.
• Background in strategic deterrence, global strike planning, NC2/NC3 operations, joint integrated operations, or unified Combatant Command (CCMD) structures.

Desired Qualifications:

• 5+ years supporting seniorlevel technical organizations within Combatant Commands, Joint Staff, or Office of the Secretary of War (OSW).
• Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Systems Engineering, or a related technical field.
• Experience with RF modeling concepts, sensor phenomenology, and performance analysis (supporting modelers, not performing modeling).
• Knowledge of emerging RF, sensor, and EM spectrum technologies relevant to NC3 modernization.
• Familiarity with Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) instructions, USSTRATCOM Emergency Action Procedures, and related policy directives.
