Assistant Staff - Electronics, Circuits & Test Engineer
About The Position
The Electronics for Contested Space Group develops advanced electronic systems and technology for the protection of our Nation’s most important space capabilities. We design and develop state-of-the-art satellites and satellite payloads, novel concepts for resilient space architectures, and the Nation’s most sensitive radars, optics, and passive RF systems. The group also provides engineering rigor and experience to some of the most critical National Security programs through Laboratory-wide collaboration and acts in an advisory capacity to the U.S. Government. Recently we have prototyped electronic systems and effects, conducted hardware-in-the-loop testing of tactically relevant payloads with surrogate threat systems, developed RF subsystems for satellites, and analyzed spacecraft mission dynamics, environments, and resiliency. Group 94, Electronics for Contested Space, is seeking an electronics and test engineer to help design, build, and test advanced electronics and RF systems and space payloads. Activities may include power electronics and/or RF design, hardware development, integration and test, test automation, data analysis, and documentation (schematics, interconnects, board layout, performance, etc.). The successful candidate will work on multi-disciplinary teams executing advanced research and developing systems critical to National Security. Occasional travel to support integration and test events, presentations to sponsors and the community, and other events may be required.
