RF Systems Engineer: SDRs, Geolocation & EW

Booz Allen Hamilton; McLean (VA); On-site; USD 62,000 - 141,000; Full time

Job summary

Booz Allen Hamilton is seeking an RF Electrical Engineer to design, develop, and deploy next-generation radio frequency systems for the US IC and DoD. You will work on multi-platform RF integration across terrestrial, unmanned, space-based, and fielded configurations, focusing on mission-critical signals, do-not-keep adversaries at bay.

The role emphasizes hands-on design, testing, and collaboration with SDR ecosystems, with opportunities to lead geolocation, SIGINT, and electronic attack tasks

Qualifications

• 3+ years of RF system or sub-system design experience.
• Experience with multiple vendor SDR platforms (Ettus, NI USRP, Epiq Solutions, Per Vices).
• Knowledge of RF front-end components (LNAs, PAs, switches, mixers, filters) and environmental constraints.
• Ability to use high-end RF test equipment (VSGs, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes).
• Ability to obtain TS/SCI clearance.
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering.

Responsibilities

• Design, package, and integrate RF architectures across diverse constraints.
• Interface RF front-ends with SDR platforms for SIGINT configurations.
• Develop hardware and algorithmic approaches for adversarial RF mitigation.
• Implement high-precision RF geolocation techniques (TDOA, FDOA, AOA).
• Model RF propagation, link budgets, and multi-emitter environments.
