SAIC; Crane (IN); On-site; USD 120,000 - 170,000; Full time

Job summary

SAIC is seeking an Electronic Warfare Systems Engineer Senior to support the NSWC Crane division and the JCREW program. You will develop signal processing algorithms, waveforms, and mission-load content for communications, networking, and EW systems, and implement concepts in software for RF/EW applications.

You will conduct RF protocol analyses, evaluate waveform behaviors, and support diagnostics to resolve complex issues on Navy EW platforms.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of relevant professional experience in RF engineering, signal processing, waveform development, SDR, software-enabled communications analysis, or EW systems support.
• Strong experience in signal processing, RF protocol analysis, and waveform development.
• Experience with software such as MATLAB, Python, C/C++, and RF test equipment.

Responsibilities

• Develop signal processing algorithms, waveforms, and mission-load content for communications, networking, and Electronic Warfare systems.
• Design, model, implement, and test algorithm concepts through software for RF and EW applications.
• Perform analysis of radio frequency communication protocols and signal behaviors to support threat-load and mission-signal development.
• Develop, test, and deliver RF signal solutions for Navy EW systems.
• Use lab instrumentation such as spectrum analyzers and related RF test equipment to evaluate complex waveforms and signal characteristics.
• Conduct analysis of Navy EW systems and support diagnostics and troubleshooting to resolve technical issues.
• Support unit, subsystem, and system-level testing for EW systems, including test preparation, execution, and documentation.
• Coordinate system updates and configuration changes in collaboration with OEMs, Government engineers, and integrated technical teams.
• Maintain and update technical documentation supporting configuration management, test execution, and software/system changes.
• Support broader software engineering and test activities aligned to the SOW, including integration, troubleshooting, requirements-based verification, and performance assessment of mission systems.
