Description
STR is focused on delivering National Defense capabilities by driving mission-focused strategies to develop advanced technology systems enabling enduring products and solutions focused on achieving the customer vision. Our programs deliver sustainable, reliable, and cost-efficient capabilities focused on end-customer needs that function in operationally relevant environments and timeframes. We consider the entire lifecycle of the solution, from conceptualization and architecting, through development to deployment, while leveraging novel technologies to deliver first-of-a-kind systems.
We are seeking a Senior RF Hardware Engineer to support the design, development, and implementation of advanced multi-function RF systems. You will collaborate with fellow researchers and engineers on multi-disciplinary teams to develop innovative solutions in areas of focus including exploration and demonstration of Radar and EW/RF convergence.
In this role, you will design and implement RF hardware with other senior Engineers for operationally relevant environments. This position will offer the opportunity for technical design, analysis, development, testing, and fielding of capabilities.
The successful candidate will have applicable knowledge in areas such as: RF, radar, communications systems, RF component specification and selection, analog and digital signal processing, software-defined radios (SDRs), FPGA firmware and hardware development, microcontrollers and embedded processors, physics modeling and simulation, systems engineering, and test & evaluation. This position requires skills in working with multi-disciplinary teams, design, development, and test activities, as well as proficiency in relevant technologies. Strong interpersonal, communication, and technical skills are required. Applicants are expected to be self-motivated, detail oriented and have ability to effectively communicate.
What you will do:
- Support development of RF hardware systems through the development lifecycle, from system requirements definition through to delivery
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand system requirements and specifications as they relate to assigned tasking
- Under guidance from senior staff, design and implement hardware designs and support assembly, integration, and testing. Activities may include:
- Identify and select RF systems components (for example: active and passive devices, antennas, connectors, cables, physical enclosures, etc.)
- Conduct supporting analyses to inform/justify decisions (e.g. RF link budgets)
- Support assembly, initial operation, and check out of system (including definition of test plans)
- Near term tasking may be related to RF systems for airborne applications, but you may be tasked on other applications as needed
Who you are:
- This position requires the ability to obtain a security clearance, for which U.S. citizenship is needed by U.S. Government
- Applicable knowledge of technical concepts related to RF systems and their principles of design, development, requirements verification, test planning, test execution, and data analysis.
- Experience in delivery of advanced development hardware.
- Capable of effectively working in a team environment, often under tight deadlines.
- Experience in providing information for briefings and technical reviews (SRRs, PDRs, CDRs, TIMS)
- Background should include a Bachelor’s degree and at least 5 years of applicable experience; Master’s degree. Equivalent experience will be considered
Nice to have:
- Active Secret or Top Secret security clearance
- Demonstrated experience in one or more of the following areas: radar systems, electronic warfare, microwave engineering, analog and digital signal processing, embedded software development, physics modeling and simulation
