Position Description

We are seeking an RF/Systems Engineer to be part of our developmental efforts. As an RF/Systems Engineer you will be responsible for researching, designing, developing, and applying novel and advanced physical effects in the fields of photonics, quantum sensing, and beyond to the practical missions of RF communications and signal intelligence to provide new strategic capabilities for the warfighter. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in experimentation and the scientific method, having designed and carried out experiments and test plans, as well as a strong background in RF and electromagnetic theory, simulation, and correlating theoretical and simulated predictions with experimentally measured results. This position offers a unique opportunity to apply your expertise and skills in a challenging and innovative technology environment.

Duties and Responsibilities

• Support the development of several platforms based around the application of classical and quantum photonics to tactical RF systems as an RF/Systems engineer.
• Work alongside other physicists and engineers to design novel and mission-enabling tactical RF systems
• Evaluate critical component performance via board-level and system-level lab testing (LNAs, HPAs, filters, couplers, mixing blocks, etc.)
• Work with hardware engineers, mechanical engineers, and quantum scientists during various phases of lab testing.
• Evaluate, design, or simulate custom RF antenna apertures, microwave and photonic structures, and devise methods to fabricate and experimentally verify performance.
• Integrate custom components into larger tactical systems.
• Maintain documentation expected at milestone events during the entire design cycle (theory of operations, manufacturing documentation, validation testing results, etc.)
• Perform integration testing to validate system performance.

Required Skills and Experience

• Knowledge of antennas and microwave/photonic circuits
• Experience with at least one computational EM solver (Ansys HFSS, CST Microwave Studio, FEKO, AWG Microwave Office, or others) as well as understanding of the underlying mathematics of various simulation methods (MoM, FDTD, FEM) and their strengths and limitations.
• Familiarity with microwave PCB design best practices related to Signal Integrity, Power Handling, Impedance Matching and EMI/EMC compliance.
• Experience with amplifiers, hybrid couplers, circulators, attenuators, mixers and waveguides.
• Experience with microwave network design and optimization.
• Experience in hardware production, quality verification, analyzing variability and determining tolerances.
• Advanced experience comparing experimental measurement with simulated prediction of electromagnetic effects.
• Hands-on experience with tuning, testing, troubleshooting, and integration with lab instruments such as: DMMs, Oscilloscopes, Vector Network Analyzers, and Spectrum Analyzers.
• Software knowledge across C, C++, MATLAB/Octave, or Python.
• Able to lift weights up to 50lbs (occasionally).
• DoD Security Clearance eligibility, required.
• Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Detail-oriented
