What You Will Do:

The Electronic Warfare and Airborne Sensors department within the Space and Air Sensors organization has an immediate opening for an Engineer to support the design, development, and testing of cutting-edge Rado Frequency (RF) technology and sensor systems for a suite of products across multiple programs. This position supports a variety of activities including but not limited to concept development, requirements management, and design oversight for RF systems, production support, failure analysis, supplier engagement, test planning and implementation, and/or system integration, verification, and validation (IV&V). The successful candidate is an energetic, focused, and capable engineer with strong organizational capabilities and a drive to learn and grow. The ideal candidate has strong analytical and problem-solving skills, the ability to operate independently with moderate supervision, is a strong team player, and can establish solid working relationships with team leadership and peers.

• System Development: Understand the customer's functional/operational needs and participate in requirements decomposition, overseeing proper allocation of technical elements
• System Integration & Test: Support system integration, test, design verification, fault identification, failure resolution, and/or acceptance of production hardware.
• Provide engineering support to lab test and qualification activities, providing engineering oversight to the test, evaluation, and analysis of issues pertaining to system hardware, software, and firmware functionality and performance.
• Provide support for situations including (but not limited to) customer inquiries, field failures, product obsolescence, system enhancements, new product development, integration and transition to production.
• Evaluate and assess the performance of developmental RF systems, including signal processing subsystems, electronic warfare systems, and radar systems.
• Able to balance multiple, varying commitments, exercising discretion and with moderately low direct oversight.

Qualifications You Must Have:

• Experience may be obtained through on-the-job experience, research, coursework, or projects.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or related Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM) major obtained by start date.
• Academic or extracurricular experience with radio, comms, or radar systems design, operation, analysis, or simulation.
• Experience communicating and presenting system design details and/or system test results to stakeholders
• Experience analyzing, developing and implementing solutions to complex technical problems in conditions of moderate uncertainty.

Qualifications We Prefer:

• Exposure to RF system design, digital and/or analog signal processing, waveform and signal modulation analysis, and/or algorithm implementation and testing.
• Experience with development, implementation, and test of RF exploitation algorithms.
• Experience using MATLAB, Simulink, PathWave ADS, and/or PathWave EMPro for simulation and design of RF systems.
• Exposure to/experience with C/C++ or Python programing languages
• RF receiver/exciter product design, development, and/or test experience in the Electronic Attack (i.e. signals jamming) sub-domain of EW.
• Understanding of embedded systems and embedded programming. Experience with design/implementation of embedded systems on FPGA hardware.
• Familiarity with Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) principles and tools (eg Cameo or similar).
• Experience with Agile development methodologies and tools (e.g. Jira, Confluence)
• Experience using DOORS for requirements management.

What We Offer

Our values drive our actions, behaviors, and performance with a vision for a safer, more connected world. At RTX we value: Trust, Respect, Accountability, Collaboration, and Innovation.
