Drive the technical roadmap for ELINT ground processing capabilities, identifying system deficiencies and architecting comprehensive solutions
Lead integration efforts for ELINT processing software components, ensuring seamless data flow from raw IQ ingestion through geolocation product generation
Identify and debug complex issues within ELINT signal processing pipelines, including algorithm anomalies, data quality problems, and system integration defects
Conduct root cause analysis of geolocation accuracy issues, performance degradation, and processing failures
Provide expert guidance on ELINT signal processing algorithms, geolocation methodologies, and emitter characterization techniques
Interface with stakeholders as senior technical expert, translating operational needs into system requirements and technical solutions
Support continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) initiatives by defining test strategies, acceptance criteria, and quality gates
Contribute to proposals, technical documentation, and strategic planning efforts

Your skills and qualifications:

Essential education and experience:

Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, or related technical field or equivalent experience; Advanced degree strongly preferred
12+ years of progressive experience in ELINT technical analysis with demonstrated expertise in complex signal processing environments
Expert-level proficiency with ELINT ground processing systems that generate geolocations from raw IQ data or similar RF collection systems
Proven expertise with signals analysis tool suites such as Sceptre, MARTES, ASPEN or CBET
Strong software integration and test experience, including hands-on work with complex data processing pipelines
Demonstrated ability to identify, debug, and resolve technical issues in signal processing software and geolocation algorithms
Strong understanding of CI/CD practices and experience integrating testing into continuous deployment pipelines
Advanced analytical and problem-solving skills with ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues across hardware and software domains
Excellent written and verbal communication skills with ability to present complex technical concepts to diverse audiences
Completion of SIGE2810/3810/4810 and advanced SIGINT training courses

Desirable:

Advanced degree (Masters or PhD) in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Signal Processing, or related field
Direct experience with HawkEye 360 or similar space-based RF collection systems
Experience with test automation frameworks, scripting languages (Python, MATLAB, R), and CI/CD tools (Jenkins, GitLab CI)
Background in software development, systems engineering, or DevOps practices
Understanding of software quality metrics, test coverage analysis, and quality assurance best practices

We offer a compensation package that includes a competitive base salary plus annual performance bonus, benefits and equity. We consider many factors when determining salary offers, such as candidate's work experience, education, training & skills, as well as market and business considerations. We are also open to considering candidates with experience and qualifications at a different level than required in a job posting, which may affect the compensation package offered.
