We seek individuals who are well rounded, with cross discipline skills, and willing to jump in and help make programs successful.

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION:

• Test Setup and Configuration: Prepare and configure electronic warfare test environments, including RF signal generators, spectrum analyzers, signal analyzers, power meters, and data acquisition systems. Establish appropriate signal levels, frequency ranges, and measurement configurations to support accurate and repeatable testing.
• Measurement and Signal Analysis: Perform RF measurements and mathematical analysis of electromagnetic signals, including frequency, bandwidth, power, gain, attenuation, noise, and signal-to-noise ratio. Apply mathematical principles to characterize signal behavior, interference, and electronic warfare system performance.
• Lab & Field Test Execution and Data Collection: Execute test procedures to evaluate electronic support, electronic attack, and signal detection capabilities. Collect, process, and analyze measurement data to assess system performance against defined requirements and theoretical expectations.
• Test Automation and Programming: Develop, modify, and execute automated test scripts using programming languages such as Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW. Integrate RF instrumentation, automate measurement sequences, and develop data processing tools to improve test efficiency, repeatability, and accuracy.
• Test Equipment Troubleshooting and Performance Analysis: Configure, calibrate, and troubleshoot RF instrumentation, signal paths, and laboratory test setups. Apply quantitative and statistical methods to identify measurement errors, evaluate signal integrity, analyze test results, and document system performance for engineering teams. Job Requirements General Skills / Attributes:
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to interpret technical data, document test results, and effectively communicate findings to engineering teams.
• Working knowledge of RF principles, electronic warfare systems, signal characteristics, and laboratory test equipment. Ability to apply mathematical concepts to analyze frequency, power, gain, attenuation, noise, and other RF performance parameters.
• Experience configuring, operating, and troubleshooting RF test equipment, including spectrum analyzers, signal generators, oscilloscopes, and power meters. Ability to establish reliable test configurations, identify measurement errors, and support accurate, repeatable testing.
• Familiarity with programming languages and tools such as Python, MATLAB, or LabVIEW for automated testing, instrument control, data collection, and analysis. Proficiency with spreadsheets and technical software for performing calculations, generating plots, and documenting results.
• Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary technical team while independently managing assigned tasks, taking initiative, troubleshooting problems, and balancing competing priorities to support test objectives. TRAVEL: Willing and able to travel to US Naval vessels around the world to install, test, and troubleshoot complex electronic systems (up to 50%) Education: Bachelor’s degree in related fields.

An equivalent combination of experience and education will be considered in lieu of a degree.
