Career Opportunities with BTS Software Solutions

BTS Software Solutions is seeking an Electrical Engineer to fill the position of Electronic Exploitation Engineer located in Gilliam, GA and Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD.

Position Description:

The EEE will conduct the handling of recovered electronics devices, ensuring that triage and technical exploitation (TECHEX) occurs in accordance with organizational intelligence requirements. As the Subject Matter Expert, the EEE must be able to work independently in isolated work environments.

What You’ll Get to Do:

• Assist in engineering discipline activities for conducting system, subsystem and component level, reverse engineering, replications, and validation.
• Provide hands-on RF collection, characterization and reverse engineering of Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) equipment and components.
• Provide hands-on technical forensic exploitation support for technical intelligence (TECHINT), media exploitation (MEDEX), cell phone exploitation (CELLEX), electronic exploitation (ELEX), and other unique exploitation missions.
• Write draft characterization reports and information tables based on requirements

You’ll Bring These Qualifications:

• Active Top-Secret Clearance with the ability to obtain SCI.
• BA/BS in Electrical Engineering and 3 years of experience (OR) Associate's degree and 6 years of experience (OR) High School and 8 years of experience
• Experience in Schematic capture and Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout.
• Electronic and/or RF experience with testing with related equipment.
• Understanding of RF communications, with emphasis on characterization of electronic circuits.?
• Experience using benchtop RF equipment including Signal Generators, Spectrum Analyzers, Oscilloscopes, and other equipment.?
• Perform standard RF measurements (e.g. occupied bandwidth, average power, pulse width) using the previously listed test equipment.
• Experience synthesizing and generating various types of RF waveforms using arbitrary waveform generators.?

These Qualifications Would be Nice to Have:

• Experience in reverse engineering electronic devices from start to finish.
• Experience in reverse engineering electronic components and circuit boards.
• Experience with soldering and re-working (e.g. through-hole, surface mount, cable assemblies, wire harnesses).
• General RF or electronic domain design or test experience.
• Basic MATLAB (and other basic programming / scripting) skills, should be able to apply digital processing techniques to communication signals. Techniques include digital filtering, sample rate conversion, frequency/phase estimation, demodulation, carrier recovery, timing recovery, channel equalization, pulse shaping, and forward error correction.
• Experience working with embedded systems such as Arduino and writing programs leveraging the SPI bus to configure and analyze various chipsets
