  • Translate mission and customer needs into technical system architectures and design solutions
  • Contribute to system design reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR) and technical baselines

System Design, Development & Implementation
  • Lead or support design and development of complex RF systems across the lifecycle
  • Ensure system designs are scalable, testable, maintainable, and aligned with requirements
  • Support implementation of system-level functionality, including hardware/software integration points

  • Collaborate with RF, test, and software engineers to ensure end-to-end system functionality

Test Automation & Data Analysis
  • Develop and implement automated test frameworks and procedures for RF system validation
  • Analyze system performance data to:
    • Identify issues and failure modes
    • Validate system requirements
    • Inform design improvements
  • Support test instrumentation strategy and integration with system-level architectures

Requirements Management
  • Capture, define, and maintain system-level requirements and traceability
  • Flow down requirements to subsystem and component levels
  • Ensure alignment of:
    • Requirements
    • Design implementation
    • Verification and validation
  • Support use of requirements tools and frameworks (e.g., DOORS, Cameo, or equivalents)

Risk Management
  • Identify, assess, and mitigate technical risks across RF system programs
  • Conduct risk analyses, trade studies, and contingency planning
  • Proactively address integration, performance, and schedule risks

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with:
    • RF engineers and designers
    • Antenna engineers
    • Software/embedded teams
    • Test and integration teams
  • Support proposal efforts, IRAD initiatives, and technical documentation
