Original job description

RF Engineer Opportunity Supporting Next Gen A&D Technology!!Job DescriptionThis role focuses on the design, development, and testing of RF hardware systems across the full development lifecycle, from system requirements definition through to delivery. You will collaborate closely with multi-disciplinary teams to translate complex system requirements into robust RF designs, support assembly and integration, and contribute to verification and test activities. Under the guidance of Sr staff, you will help build advanced RF systems, often for airborne and other mission-critical applications, in an environment that values innovation, technical rigor, and worklife balance.Responsibilities

Contribute to the development of RF hardware systems from initial system requirements definition through design, integration, test, and delivery.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand system requirements and specifications as they relate to assigned RF tasks.
Design and implement RF hardware under the guidance of Sr engineers, ensuring alignment with system-level performance and interface requirements.
Identify and select appropriate RF system components, including active and passive devices, antennas, connectors, cables, and physical enclosures.
Perform supporting analyses such as RF link budgets and cascade analysis to inform and justify design decisions.
Develop and interpret RF block diagrams to describe system architectures and signal chains.
Support assembly, initial operation, and checkout of RF systems, including defining test procedures and criteria.
Assist with test planning, test execution, and data analysis to verify RF system performance against requirements.
Use RF test and measurement equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers (VNAs), signal generators, oscilloscopes, power meters, sensors, and network analyzers to characterize and troubleshoot systems.
Participate in the delivery of advanced development hardware, ensuring systems meet technical and operational objectives.
Provide technical input and information for briefings and formal technical reviews, including SRRs, PDRs, CDRs, and TIMs.
Work effectively as part of a multi-disciplinary team, often under tight deadlines, to deliver mission-focused RF solutions.
Support RF systems development and test activities for airborne applications and other platforms as needed.

Essential Skills

Applicable knowledge of RF systems and their principles of design, development, and verification.
Experience with requirements verification, test planning, test execution, and RF data analysis.
Experience in the delivery of advanced development hardware.
Ability to interpret and create RF block diagrams to represent system architectures and signal chains.
Proficiency in performing RF link budget calculations and cascade analysis, including small-signal gain, noise figure, and linearity analysis.
Familiarity with RF system design and development for radar or similar applications.
Hands-on experience with RF test and measurement equipment such as spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers (VNAs), signal generators, oscilloscopes, power meters, sensors, and network analyzers.
Experience with RF systems development and test activities, including integration and checkout.
Proficiency with relevant RF design and analysis tools such as Cadence AWR and Python for RF design and analysis tasks.
Ability to work effectively in a multi-disciplinary team environment and meet deadlines.
Strong communication skills, including the ability to provide information for briefings and technical reviews (SRRs, PDRs, CDRs, TIMs).
Self-motivated and detail-oriented approach to technical problem solving.
Bachelors degree in a relevant field and at least 2 years of applicable experience, or a Masters degree; equivalent experience will be considered.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

Active Secret or Top Secret security clearance is highly desirable.
Demonstrated experience with radar systems and related RF architectures.
Experience in electronic warfare (EW) and RF convergence applications.
Experience in microwave engineering and advanced RF circuit design.
Experience with analog and digital signal processing for RF and radar applications.
Exposure to embedded software development in support of RF or radar systems.
Experience with physics-based modeling and simulation of RF or radar systems.
Experience working within structured technical review processes, including SRRs, PDRs, CDRs, and TIMs.
Ability to contribute to real-time processing solutions and digital signal processing chains for radar systems as part of a broader engineering team.
