  • Lead testing of mitigation devices operating in other frequency bands (VHF/UHF/Microwave).
  • Conduct precise RF measurements (power, gain, EIRP, spectrum occupancy) and evaluate electromagnetic compatibility (EM/EMC) for spectral compliance.
  • Perform near-field and far-field antenna range measurements in controlled or operational environments.

CUAS Research, Testing & Evaluation (RD/T&E)

  • Conduct rigorous spectrum interference testing at active airports prior to CUAS deployment.
  • Develop, execute, and oversee detailed test plans, test cards, and structured evaluation frameworks.
  • Manage vendor systems during deployment, troubleshooting, data collection, and teardown.
  • Establish selection criteria for UAS platforms used in evaluations, alongside performance metrics and pass/fail criteria.
  • Document all RD/T&E activities to contribute to FAA guidance on the selection, procurement, deployment, and management of CUAS systems as well as RF-specific measurement equipment.

Systems Engineering & Strategic Policy

  • Conduct thorough RF hazard analyses and safety assessments prior to open-air testing.
  • Translate complex RD/T&E data into performance specification frameworks using modeling, simulation, and analysis tools to shape FAA Advisory Circulars.
  • Utilize technical data tools to model and analyze spectrum environments and system capabilities.
  • Create multi-airport CUAS operational recommendations and best practices aligned with FAA Safety Risk Management (SRM) principles.

Qualifications Required:

  • Bachelor of Engineering degree in Electrical, Aerospace, Systems, Mechanical (preferred) or other technical discipline. Non-U.S. degrees must be ABET accredited.
  • 10+ years of progressive engineering experience in RF, radar, or spectrum management.
  • Proven experience using spectrum analyzers and other equipment to test, evaluate and characterize complex RF devices and environments for FCC/NTIA compliance.
