KBR•Columbia, SC

3d•$140,000 - $200,000

About The Position

KBR seeks a Senior RF Engineer to support an Intelligence Community customer in a research and development environment. The role involves understanding government RF systems and supporting the development and validation of requirements, Concepts of Operations, and system development and integration. The engineer performs professional Radio Frequency Engineering assignments of wide complexity under general direction, with considerable discretion over work details. The position supports the design, development, and testing of RF and microwave systems, architectures, components, circuits, and products. Areas may include reflector and array antennas, frequency synthesizers, transmitters and receivers, Land Mobile Radio, SATCOM, and tactical communications. The engineer also conducts or directs complex engineering assignments for projects comprising multiple pieces of equipment or systems, establishes project requirements, evaluates engineering progress for technical adequacy, and coordinates with other engineering and scientific organizations. KBR describes its work as supporting national security and space missions. Candidates joining KBR's Mission Technology Solutions business before its planned spin-off are expected to transition to Trinzic when the separation is complete and will not need to reapply.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in Engineering or applied science.
A minimum of twelve (13) years of related experience in Radio Frequency (RF) systems, as stated in the posting.
TS/SCI clearance with W poly.
