About The Position

System Testing and Validation: Conduct functional, system-level, and performance testing of RF and EW-related technologies, including radar, communication systems, Electronic Countermeasures (ECM), and Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM). Develop test procedures, plans, and criteria aligning with program requirements and DoD standards. Validate interoperability and integration of RF/EW components within advanced air platform systems. Signal Analysis and Diagnostics: Analyze RF signals and EW performance in simulated and live testing environments. Use testing tools and techniques (e.g., spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and hardware-in-the-loop simulation systems) to troubleshoot and resolve issues with RF/EW systems. Collaboration Within IPT Framework: Partner with systems engineers, software developers, and other IPT members to ensure RF/EW systems meet performance and functionality requirements. Facilitate cross-functional coordination, ensuring seamless integration of RF/EW systems with avionics and mission software. Testing Tools and Data Reporting: Operate advanced test systems and tools to measure system performance and capture testing data. Create detailed test reports, dashboards, and presentations to communicate findings to program stakeholders. Operational Readiness Testing: Support testing in laboratory settings, hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulations, and operational field environments. Verify air platform RF/EW systems' capabilities under real-world conditions, including electronic attack/defense scenarios and responses to radar threats. Compliance and Documentation: Ensure system testing adheres to DoD standards such as MIL-STD specifications, RMF, and cybersecurity best practices. Manage and document testing processes to ensure future sustainment and compliance. Working knowledge of MATLAB, Simulink, or other RF/EW simulation tools.
