• 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)
