Our team is seeking a Computer Engineer who thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You will be multi-faceted and will directly influence the Air Force Mission.
Key responsibilities include collaborating with cross-functional teams to design, develop, and implement RF software solutions. You will play a critical role in formulating innovative ideas and implementing these into our services. In addition, you will conduct comprehensive performance analysis, testing, and troubleshooting of RF systems and software.
You will also be responsible for handling and operating various RF test equipment and instrumentation, ensuring they are used appropriately and maintained correctly. This will involve developing software interfaces and procedures for instruments, optimizing their use, and providing troubleshooting and maintenance support as required.
Test operations will be executed in a control room environment, requiring you to work in close collaboration with customers, government engineers, and teammates. Your ability to communicate effectively, handle complex instrumentation, and adapt to changing situations will be vital in this setting.
In collaboration with hardware engineers and technicians, you will integrate software and hardware components, ensuring seamless operation and optimal performance of CEESIM systems. This critical work will involve solving complex technical challenges and will require a high level of problem-solving capability.
As a source of technical expertise, you will be expected to support cross-functional teams, including RF Engineers, Hardware Engineers, and Systems Analysts. This will require excellent technical communication skills and the ability to translate complex information into understandable concepts for various customers and non-technical personnel.
Lastly, you will conduct regular calibrations of RF and CEESIM related equipment as part of routine maintenance and preparation for testing procedures. Attention to detail, mastery over RF instrumentation, and adherence to safety protocols are vital in this aspect of the role.
Basic Qualifications:
Solid understanding of RF principles, communication systems, and RF signal propagation.
Proficiency in programming languages such as LabVIEW, C++, or Python, with experience in developing RF software applications is a plus.
Working knowledge of RF measurement equipment, including spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and oscilloscopes.
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to analyze and debug complex RF/communication issues.
Effective communication and collaboration skills to work in a team-oriented environment.
Essential Functions/Duties:
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and develop RF solutions, such as modulation/demodulation techniques, RF component characterizations (S-Parameters, VSWR, etc.), and develop software tools/scripts to automate measurement process.
Develop software interfaces and/or test beds for RF hardware components such as antennas, amplifiers, filters, transceivers, and RF test equipment.
Conduct performance analysis, testing, and troubleshooting of RF systems and software, ensuring compliance with industry/safety standards and specifications.
Run test operations in control room environment with customers, government engineers, and teammates.
Collaborate with hardware engineers and technicians to integrate software and hardware components and provide support for test setups inside an anechoic chamber.
Provide technical expertise and support to cross-functional teams, including RF Engineers, technicians, and Systems Analysts.
Conduct calibrations of RF and CEESIM related equipment as part of routine maintenance and test preparations.
Education and Experience Requirements:
ABET accredited Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
Desired Qualifications:
Familiarity with software tools, such as MATLAB, LABVIEW, or Python for system modeling, analysis, and control.
Knowledge of CEESIM, DIADS, or other combat simulation software is a plus.
Prior experience with Linux/RedHat systems.
Demonstrated experience designing with SolidWorks/AutoCAD.
Must be a U.S. citizen or Naturalized citizen of the United States and hold or be able to obtain a
security clearance. Must pass a background check and drug test.
