Electromagnetic Spectrum and Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems Engineer

Description

POSITION OVERVIEW

We are looking for a Lead or Senior Electromagnetic Spectrum and Electronic Warfare (EW) Systems Engineer to spearhead the development and rapid adaptation of electronic protection (EP) capabilities against adversary RF manipulation and geo-spoofing systems. Candidates with operational or engineering backgrounds in spectrum warfare reprogramming, threat emitter modeling, and airborne EW systems are strongly encouraged to apply.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

? Model, characterize, and reverse-engineer adversary electronic attack (EA) waveforms, including coherent/non-coherent GPS spoofing, repeater jamming, and deceptive RF signaling. ? Design and validate electronic protection (EP) countermeasures, adaptive beamforming strategies, and rapid mission data file (MDF) updates for fielded platforms. ? Collaborate with cross-functional RF hardware, FPGA, and digital signal processing (DSP) teams to translate operational EW threat intelligence into deployable counter-spoofing features. ? Lead system-level modeling and simulation (M&S) engagements to assess survivability and navigation continuity across contested A2/AD environments. ? Interface directly with defense program offices, intelligence analysts, and operational test squadrons to align engineering roadmaps with emerging spectrum threats.

Requirements

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

? Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Physics. ? 5+ years of experience in Electronic Warfare (EW), spectrum operations, RF systems engineering, or threat reprogramming (such as experience within the 350th Spectrum Warfare Wing). ? Strong understanding of electromagnetic wave propagation, antenna theory, digital modulation schemes, and electronic attack/protection (EA/EP) techniques. ? Experience with EW modeling and simulation suites (e.g., AFSIM, STK, MATLAB/Simulink) and RF laboratory measurement equipment.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

? Prior experience as a USAF Electronic Warfare Officer (EWO), Developmental Engineer (62E), or Cyberspace Warfare Operations Officer (17S). ? Background in Cognitive EW, machine learning for RF signal classification, or Mission Data File (MDF) generation.
