Descripción del empleo

Technology Advancement Group (TAG) is a warfighter focused systems integrator in Ashburn, Virginia. We design, build and integrate assured positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) hardware and software for the U.S. Military, U.S. allies, and the companies that build for them. Our products include anti-jam CRPA antennas, horizon-nulling antennas and a miniature M-code GPS receiver. All of them are shipping today, with test data behind them, and our engineers integrate them into the systems our customers already run.

Who You Are

• You're an early-career engineer who wants to work on the whole product, not one slice of it, and you want your work to end up in the field.
• You like learning new technology.
• You're hands-on.
• You sweat the details.
• You can work on your own and with a team.
• You adapt when plans change.
• You care who's on the other end.

Requirements

• Electronics and the design process. You have one to five years of hands-on experience with electronics, assemblies and computer components. You've taken part in a design process from requirements through build and test. Pick a project and you can walk us through it: what it had to do, how you tested it, what failed and what you changed.
• Attention to detail and organization. You keep your work accurate and organized while several tasks are open at once. You can show how you track revisions, manage your files and catch errors before they reach someone else.
• Analytical skills. When a test fails or the data doesn't look right, you work the problem methodically until you find the cause. You can describe a problem you traced and how you knew you'd found the real cause.
• Writing and documentation. Most of this job ends up in a document that someone else builds, tests or buys from. You write procedures and specifications clear enough that a technician can follow them without asking what you meant. You can also explain a technical issue out loud to engineers, technicians and managers. You can show us something you wrote.
• Ability to lift 20 lbs. You'll move units, assemblies and test equipment around the lab and the production floor.
• U.S. person status. This role involves access to technical data controlled under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). You must be a U.S. person as defined in 22 CFR 120.62. That includes U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and certain protected individuals such as refugees and asylees.
• Clearance eligibility. You must be able to obtain and maintain a U.S. government security clearance, which requires U.S. citizenship.

Nice to Haves

• GNSS experience. You've worked with GPS or other GNSS systems, whether receivers, antennas, timing equipment or the test gear around them. You understand the basics of how a receiver gets a position fix and what jamming does to it.
• Active clearance. You hold a current DoD Secret or Top Secret clearance.
