Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
At least six years of professional engineering experience supporting SIGINT, EW, COE, or comparable complex electronic systems in one or more of these areas: system design and integration, software development and integration, test and evaluation, system performance analysis, CONOPS, or lifecycle maintenance and technical support.
Experience working with Linux-based operating systems in engineering or operational environments.
Experience integrating, testing, troubleshooting, and deploying software within complex electronic systems.
Ability to evaluate system performance and recommend hardware, software, or system modifications to address technical deficiencies.
Experience researching hardware and software technologies to support modernization and obsolescence mitigation.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and technical problem-solving skills.
Ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering teams, technical leadership, and Government stakeholders.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to document and communicate technical findings.
Ability to work independently and provide technical guidance to junior engineering personnel.
Active DoD Secret Security Clearance and ability to maintain clearance eligibility for access to military facilities, Naval shipyards, and private shipyards.
Willingness and ability to support CONUS and OCONUS travel.
If travel by domestic flight or access to secure federal facilities or military bases is required, ability to obtain and maintain appropriate identification credentials, such as REAL ID, by the start of the position.
Ability to work in office, laboratory, industrial, or shipboard environments; lift and move materials within one-person lift guidelines; perform site surveys; access shipboard and laboratory workspaces; and carry a laptop computer.
Successful completion of applicable pre-employment requirements, which may include background investigation, employment and education verification, drug screening, driving record review, security clearance eligibility, government installation access, and customer- or contract-specific requirements.
