The Electronic Warfare (EW) Engineer will play a critical role in designing, developing, testing, and deploying advanced electronic warfare systems and technologies. This position requires expertise in RF (radio frequency) systems, signal processing, and electromagnetic spectrum management to support defense and security operations. The EW Engineer will collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to develop solutions that enhance the effectiveness of military operations in contested electromagnetic environments.

Perform trade studies, modeling and simulation and other forms of analysis to predict component and system performance and to optimize design around established requirements
Design and develop electronic warfare systems, including jammers, radar systems, situational awareness and communication systems
Develop hardware and software architectures to integrate systems and components into higher level systems and platforms
Assess EW specific risks and develop a mitigation plan
Analyze and process RF data to assess threat and communication information in the electromagnetic spectrum
Develop algorithms for signal detection, classification, and countermeasure deployment
Develop data analysis and presentation methods and tools to provide actionable information to the user
Develop test plans, procedures, and reports for system verification and validation including environment and propagation effects
Conduct laboratory and field testing of EW systems to ensure performance and reliability
Analyze and manage electromagnetic spectrum usage to optimize system performance in congested and/or contested environments
Ensure compliance with spectrum regulations and policies
Assess emerging threats in electronic warfare, radar systems, communication systems, and unmanned platforms
Develop countermeasure strategies to mitigate threats
Collaborate with government agencies and military stakeholders to define requirements and deliver solutions
Work closely with software, hardware, and systems engineering teams to integrate EW systems into larger platforms (e.g., aircraft, ships, ground vehicles)
Prepare technical documentation, including system specifications, design reports, and user manuals
Present findings and recommendations to internal teams and external stakeholders

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics or related field
3+ years of experience in electronic warfare, RF systems, or related fields
Experience with EW system design, signal processing, or electromagnetic spectrum analysis
Proficiency in modeling tools for RF engineering and signal processing (e.g., MATLAB, Simulink, LabVIEW or similar)
Familiar with laboratory tools including oscilloscope, signal and spectrum analyzer, SDR and RF Analyzer SW
Knowledge of radar systems, communication systems, directed energy and electronic warfare modules
Familiarity with high level software programming languages for algorithm development
Secret Clearance or ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills
Ability to work independently and in a team environment
Excellent communication and technical writing skills
Attention to detail and commitment to quality

Master of Science (M.S.) in Electrical Engineering or related science/engineering discipline
Knowledge of military, defense, and national security systems
Familiarity with DoD standards and regulations (e.g., MIL-STD, FAR/DFARS)
Knowledge of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and interference mitigation techniques
Experience with HW/SW/FW development
Proficient in board-to-system level architecture
Experienced with VHDL design/synthesis/analysis tools
Relevant certifications (e.g., Certified Electronic Warfare Professional - CEWP) are a plus
