  • Develop and integrate communication architectures including RF links, SATCOM, LOS/BLOS datalinks, networking infrastructure, antennas, encryption devices, and mission control interfaces
  • Lead cross-functional integration between avionics, mission systems, networking, cybersecurity, software, and test teams to improve system interoperability and reduce integration risk
  • Develop and validate interface definitions, network architectures, link budgets, and communication performance requirements for airborne and ground-based systems
  • Support lab, field, and flight test activities to troubleshoot communication issues, validate network performance, and improve operational resiliency and mission readiness
Required qualifications:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related technical field
  • 5+ years of experience in communications systems, networking, mission systems, or military aerospace integration
  • Experience with GCS architectures, datalinks, RF systems, networking, or airborne communication systems
  • Familiarity with LOS/BLOS communications, SATCOM, IP networking, encryption technologies, and hardware/software integration environments
  • Strong systems engineering, troubleshooting, and cross-functional communication skills
  • Ability to obtain a S//SAR level security clearance desired.
Preferred qualifications:
  • Experience supporting UAV, fighter aircraft, autonomous systems, or military communication networks
  • Experience defining operational behaviors, activity diagrams, CONOPS, or system architectures using MBSE tools such as Cameo Systems Modeler
  • Background in integration labs, flight test, network resiliency, or tactical communication systems
  • Familiarity with cybersecurity, RMF, resilient communications, and contested environment operations
  • Active Secret or Top Secret clearance preferred
