As the Principal / Senior Principal Electronic Warfare/Radio Frequency Systems Engineer you will be primarily engaged in the development and fielding of Electronic Surveillance and/or Electronic Attack systems for advanced dedicated and multi-function RF subsystems. You will work early in the system lifecycle by developing parametric representations, visualizations, and data-driven analyses to support sensor requirements definition and use case validation. Beyond the analysis and design phases, you will also be involved in integrating sensor modes and trackers, transitioning from digital simulation environments to sensor labs and our fleet of specially modified test aircraft. Throughout this process, you will engage with customers to balance their functional and performance requirements with other sensor functionalities, enabling true multi-function operation. Support for performance compliant design of Electronic Warfare algorithms on next generation multifunction RF sensor Support for novel solutions amid implementation constraints such as system interfaces, real time digital resource management, hardware limitations Support for maturation and verification in digital simulation and hardware-in-the-loop environments, including authorship to test requirements Apply strong systems engineering knowledge to various projects. Engage in System Architecture and Concept Development to establish clear project frameworks. Conduct Candidate Technology Trade Studies to evaluate potential solutions. Develop and derive requirements to ensure project specifications align with objectives. Collaborate on Algorithm Development for system functionality and efficiency. Perform Performance Analysis to assess system capabilities and effectiveness. Execute Data Analysis to derive insights and inform decision-making. Work collaboratively with cross-disciplinary teams, including hardware, software, and firmware engineers. Encourage innovation by identifying improvements and creatively solving problems.
