Senior RF Engineer - TS/SCI, Lab & Field Measurements

CACI; Maryland; On-site; USD 99,000 - 209,000; Full time

Job summary

CAC I RF engineer position in Maryland rapidly integrates with Army signal intelligence R&D teams, focusing on RF front ends, transceivers, and mixed-signal architectures. You will leverage VNAs, spectrum analyzers, and high-bandwidth oscilloscopes to evaluate hardware and validate models.

The role requires TS/SCI clearance, a BS in a related field, and 7 years of RF engineering experience. You will perform bench and field measurements, contribute to system-level designs, and participate in

Qualifications

• TS/SCI clearance current
• BS in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics or related field
• 7 years of RF engineering experience
• RF characterization engineering experience
• Knowledge and proficiency with antenna gain measurements
• Experience with use of anechoic chamber
• Strong understanding of RF modulation types
• MATLAB experience (preferred)

Responsibilities

• Develop high-fidelity RF characterization models, link budget analyses, and simulations to predict system performance prior to hardware builds
• Characterize novel RF front ends, transceivers, and sub-assemblies across broad operational frequency ranges
• Correlate empirical lab and field measurement data with predictive models to refine simulations and system architectures
• Design, coordinate, and execute RF experimentation in a RF benchtop lab, anechoic chamber and field environment
• Conduct antenna pattern measurements including far-field and near-field measurements, beam pattern verification, and antenna gain evaluations
• Perform outdoor range propagation experiments and operational stress assessments
