• Experience developing or testing RF systems in controlled environments such as anechoic chambers.
• Proficiency with electrical system design, including power and RF distribution, high speed signal path analysis, and debug.
• An understanding of GNSS systems and technology.
• Understanding of GNSS receivers, antennas and software defined radios.
• Experience with signal processing.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python or MATLAB.
• Familiarity with simulation tools and platforms for PNT and NAVWAR system testing and validation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Positive attitude and ability to engage and influence.
• Excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
• Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
• Able to travel up to 15%.
• Must be able to remain in a stationary position for extended periods (e.g., working at a computer workstation).
• Must be able to operate standard office and lab equipment (e.g., computers, oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers).
• Must be able to occasionally move or transport test equipment up to 25 pounds.
• Must be able to analyze data, interpret test results, and make engineering judgments in a fast-paced environment.
• Visual acuity required for viewing technical drawings, schematics, and computer screens.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop RF systems and instrumentation to create controlled RF environments for PNT testing in anechoic chambers and lab testbeds.
• Architect systems for wavefront simulation, multi-antenna signal injection, and GNSS spoofing/jamming emulation.
• Select and integrate RF hardware components including signal generations, phase shifters, programmable attenuators, RF switches, and amplifiers.
• Develop test plans and execute measurements to characterize and validate RF performance, chamber fidelity, and signal propagation.
• Work closely with design engineers, software developments, and system integrators to tailor RF environments for emerging technologies.
• Implement automation for signal routing, test execution, and data capture using scripting and control systems.
• Continue to drive the state of the art in software defined radio development and implementation.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers, mechanical engineers and manufacturing, to ensure timely delivery of high-quality products.
• Create and maintain detailed design documentation, including schematics, high level diagrams, implementation details, BOMs (Bill of materials) and test plans.
• Ensure designs comply with industry standards and regulatory requirements, including EMI/EMC and safety standards.
• Work closely with customers to ensure proper requirements capture and delivered products meet customers’ needs.

Preferred Qualifications

• Documented active US Government Security Clearance at the Secret level or higher highly preferred.
