Systems Engineer - Senior (Multi-Function RF ICT)
About The Position
MTSI is seeking a highly capable Senior Systems Engineer to support Multi‑Function Radio Frequency (MF/RF) and Electronic Warfare (EW) activities within an Integrated Capabilities Team (ICT) operating under AFLCMC/WA at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH. The selected candidate will provide technical leadership and system-level expertise across the development, integration, and fielding of advanced MF/RF and EW capabilities for current and next‑generation Air Force platforms. In this role, you will support horizontal requirements definition, architecture development, system-of-systems integration, and technical assessments for RF sensors, EW payloads, and multifunction aperture technologies. You will collaborate closely with program office personnel, industry partners, and cross-functional engineering teams to ensure system performance meets operational needs, interoperability objectives, and mission assurance standards. Key responsibilities include conducting system engineering analyses, supporting technical baseline development, evaluating vendor designs, assessing integration risks, facilitating technical interchange meetings, and contributing to program documentation such as specifications, interface definitions, and verification plans. The Systems Engineer will also provide direct support to the program office in areas including trade studies, capability maturation planning, test and evaluation coordination, and readiness reviews.
Requirements
- Deep technical understanding of multifunction RF, radar, and electronic warfare system architectures, performance parameters, signal processing concepts, and system verification/validation methodologies.
- Experience supporting secure or classified development, integration, or test environments involving advanced RF sensors, EW payloads, or multifunction aperture systems.
- Ability to work independently on complex engineering analyses, system evaluations, and integration activities, translating mission requirements into technically sound and compliant MF/RF and EW solutions.
- Strong communication skills and the ability to effectively support multidisciplinary teams across government, industry, and laboratory test environments within an Integrated Capabilities Team structure.
- Possess minimum of 10 years of relevant work experience
- Experience working in a DoW program or product acquisition office or environment
- Have no less than three (3) years’ experience in a Special Access Program (SAP) and/or Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) environment within the last five (5) years
- Must possess an active DoD Top Secret (TS) security clearance with ability to obtain SCI
- U.S. Citizenship is required for this position, due to contract requirements.
Responsibilities
- Guide system engineering efforts for multifunction RF and electronic warfare capabilities, including requirements refinement, technical analysis, and integration planning across the MF/RF and EW portfolio.
- Advise, assess, and maintain engineering approaches, architectures, and system models to support advanced RF sensing, EW effects, and multifunction aperture technologies.
- Guide technical evaluation frameworks to verify system performance, electromagnetic compatibility, and mission effectiveness across laboratory, ground, and flight test environments.
- Evaluate detailed assessments of vendor designs, interface definitions, and integration plans to ensure alignment with program objectives, operational needs, and system-of-systems constraints.
- Assess documentation, traceability, and configuration control for system requirements, analyses, verification activities, and technical review artifacts.
- Collaborate closely with government, industry, and multi-disciplinary engineering teams, including RF engineers, software developers, integration leads, and test organizations to ensure technical solutions meet Air Force standards and mission needs.
- Evaluate system behavior, RF performance, EW functionality, and cross‑system interactions; proactively identify risks and guide the ICT and program office toward technically sound resolutions.
- Provide mentorship and subject matter expertise to junior engineers and team members on MF/RF, EW, system engineering processes, and integration best practices.
- Evaluate technical assessments, risk analyses, readiness review materials, and engineering recommendations to program and ICT leadership.
- Maintain awareness of emerging RF/EW technologies, digital engineering practices, and threat trends to inform capability development and continuous improvement efforts.
