• Apply DSP techniques including FFTs, filtering, detection, estimation, and time-frequency analysis to support system design and verification.
• Execute systems engineering tasks including requirements development (JIRA/DOORS), CONOPS definition, integration planning, test procedures, and performance analysis.
• Work closely with cross-functional engineering teams to plan and conduct system integration testing in laboratory and platform environments.
• Document system behavior, anomalies, and integration results following established engineering standards; verify and validate system functionality across new and legacy baselines.
• Support troubleshooting of RF chains, timing/synchronization issues, calibration, and hardware/software interaction during system integration.
• Collaborate with customers to ensure satisfaction with system performance and to clarify operational requirements.
• Provide technical updates to management and customers, contributing to schedule, risk, and resource planning.
• Produce end-user documentation, integration reports, and technical analysis packages as required.
