Manager Verizon Rf Engineer Jobs in Silver Spring, MD

The Opportunity:

Are you ready to design, develop, integrate, and test critical RF payload systems that will fly on the next generation of space vehicles? As an RF engineer, you understand how complex RF, microwave, and antenna systems come together to enable resilient and highperformance space missions. That expertise becomes essential as you contribute to advanced RF Front End designs, integrate spacequalified components across wide frequency ranges, and ensure reliable operation under the stringent constraints of the space environment.

At Booz Allen, you'll apply your RF engineering experience to help shape adaptable RF mission payloads designed to support varied custom waveforms and mission scenarios. Our team develops missionfocused space technologies-from RF architecture and endtoend modeling to payload integration and verification. That's why we need a highly capable RF engineer who can support subsystem development, contribute to antenna and frontend design, and collaborate closely with spacecraft subsystem engineering disciplines to build hardware that meets demanding aerospace standards and mission assurance requirements.

On our team, you'll take part in the full lifecycle of payload development-from early design and EM simulation through integration, environmental testing, and flightready validation. You'll work handson with RF circuits, antennas, and SDRbased architectures, applying practical engineering principles to solve complex technical challenges. Your work will directly contribute to delivering reliable, highperformance payload hardware ready for launch, and inform technical decisions through handson engineering contributions.

Take on this challenge in the rapidly evolving space sector as we advance resilient, scalable RF payload capabilities that support missioncritical objectives.
