About The Position
BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems is seeking an RF Systems Analyst to support the development of RF payload solutions. The role supports RF payload system and box/board-level design and analysis, RF signal-chain performance analysis, and systems engineering throughout program and research and development lifecycles. The analyst works with teams across calibration, optical, thermal, focal-plane, and AI&T disciplines, and contributes to requirements development, payload verification, technical reviews, and proposal development. The position is based in an on-site work environment, with work performed five days each normally scheduled week at the primary work location. Work may take place in an office, laboratory, production floor, cleanroom, outdoors, or a remote research environment. Travel and local commuting between company campuses or other locations may be required. Some work may involve production areas requiring protective equipment, or access to facilities in varying weather conditions.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree or higher in engineering or a related technical field, plus at least 6 years of related experience; related technical experience may be considered in lieu of education.
- A master’s degree or Ph.D. may substitute for two years of experience for each higher-level degree.
- Degree must be from a university, college, or school accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Secretary of Education or U.S. Department of Education.
- Current, active Top Secret/SCI security clearance and ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret/SCI Polygraph.
- Familiarity with computer applications and analytical tools such as Python, Matlab, C, C++, IDL, STK, and DOORS.
- Experience in multiple lifecycle phases of RF, tactical, or electro-optical system programs, from concept development and program kick-off through post-delivery support.
- Experience with data analysis and modeling related to image processing, calibration, remote sensing, optical payload testing, or focal-plane assembly (FPA) testing.
- Demonstrated technical and interpersonal skills, including the ability to work with a team, predict and meet schedules, and resolve disconnects.
- Effective communication skills, including the ability to understand team needs, ask insightful questions, and clearly communicate proposed solutions.
Nice To Haves
- 6–8 years of experience with RF sensing payloads and mission architecture for the intelligence community.
Responsibilities
- Support RF payload system and box/board-level design and analysis.
- Analyze RF signal-chain performance and assess and develop requirements, including noise figure, gain, and IP2/IP3.
- Perform systems engineering tasks throughout program and R&D project lifecycles.
- Contribute to the decomposition and allocation of RF payload requirements to lower-level specifications and refine requirements as needed.
- Develop and monitor the margin-management philosophy throughout the program lifecycle.
- Synthesize and analyze payload spatial, spectral, and radiometric performance for requirements compliance and verification.
- Contribute to analyses supporting error trees and Technical Performance Measures (TPMs).
- Explore system interfaces and develop payload Interface Control Documents (ICDs).
- Collaborate with subject matter experts in calibration, optical, thermal, and focal-plane subsystems.
- Work with AI&T engineers on test configurations, verification approaches, and analysis plans for payload verification.
- Lead development, testing, and evaluation of hardware, software, support equipment, and systems as required.
- Prepare and deliver presentations to peers, management, and customers as required.
- Support program gates, including SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, and payload sell-off.
- Learn about payload technical proposal development, including estimating systems-team labor and schedule.
- Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule.
- Establish and maintain effective working relationships across the department, Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units, and the company.
- Interact appropriately with others to maintain a positive and productive work environment.
- Perform other duties as necessary.
Benefits
- Minimum $25,000 sign-on bonus for external hires.
