Sr Rf Engineer Jobs in Georgia (NOW HIRING)

Overview:  Solopulse is a dual-use deep technology company developing next-generation RF systems. Our Products Division implements and delivers fielded systems for a range of government and prime contractor customers. We operate with a small-team culture that values technical depth, ownership, and rapid iteration.

SoloPulse is seeking a Senior Systems Engineer to join our Products Division. In this role you will own the end-to-end systems engineering lifecycle for our payload and RF product line, from the capture of operational requirements through final system-level verification. You will also serve as the technical lead for standing up and maintaining the company’s configuration management process, ensuring disciplined control of system baselines across all customer programs. The ideal candidate brings deep RF hardware and software integration experience, ideally in electronic warfare applications, and can operate with independence across the full systems engineering V.

You will operate in a matrixed environment with the following responsibilities:

Systems Engineering V – Requirements & Design

• Elicit, document, and manage operational concepts (CONOPS) and mission-level requirements in collaboration with customers and program managers.
• Derive system-level technical requirements from operational needs; allocate requirements to subsystems, software, and hardware components.
• Develop and maintain system architecture documentation including Interface Control Documents (ICDs), Functional Baseline (FBL), and Allocated Baseline (ABL).
• Lead system design reviews (SRR, SDR, PDR, CDR) and ensure requirements traceability is maintained throughout the design process.

Systems Engineering V – Verification & Validation

• Author and execute component- and system-level Verification & Validation (V&V) plans, test procedures, and test reports.
• Define acceptance criteria and lead Integration, Test & Evaluation (IT&E) activities across hardware and software subsystems.
• Develop and maintain Requirements Verification Traceability Matrices (RVTMs) ensuring full closure of requirements from derivation through verification.
• Conduct subsystem qualification and system acceptance testing; document and resolve discrepancies through formal non-conformance and corrective action processes.

Configuration Management

• Lead the establishment of the Solopulse Configuration Management (CM) process, including CM plan development, tool selection, and process implementation across the product lifecycle.
• Define and manage system configuration baselines (Functional, Allocated, and Product) and control changes through a formal Configuration Control Board (CCB) process.
• Maintain and publish System Configuration Documents (SCDs), Interface Control Documents, and engineering change documentation for all active customer configurations.
• Ensure CM discipline is applied consistently across multi-customer programs and evolving system configurations; provide CM status accounting and audit support.
• Integrate CM practices with program and product lifecycle gates, ensuring baseline integrity at each phase transition.

Hardware & Software Integration

• Support hardware-software integration activities for RF payload systems, including interface definition, integration sequencing, and troubleshooting of integration anomalies.
• Collaborate with embedded software, FPGA, and hardware engineering teams to resolve integration issues and validate system-level performance against requirements.
• Develop and maintain system integration procedures, interface test harnesses, and integration lab environments.
• Participate in trade studies and design decisions that span the hardware-software boundary, providing systems-level perspective on implementation choices.

• Bachelor’s degree (or higher) in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, or a closely related technical discipline.
• 7+ years of systems engineering experience on defense or aerospace programs, including direct application of the systems engineering V process from requirements capture through system-level V&V.
• Demonstrated experience authoring and managing systems engineering artifacts: ConOps, SRD/SRS, ICDs, V&V plans, RVTMs, and test reports.
• Hands-on experience leading or directly supporting the establishment or operation of a formal Configuration Management process, including CCB participation and baseline management.
• Working knowledge of hardware and software development processes and the integration challenges that arise at their interface.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; able to clearly present technical content to both engineering teams and program leadership.
• U.S. citizenship required; ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance (TS/SCI).
