TRAVEL: Yes, 10% of the Time

We have incredible opportunities to work on revolutionary systems that impact people's lives around the world today, and for generations to come. Our pioneering and inventive spirit has enabled us to be at the forefront of many technological advancements in our nation's history - from the first flight across the Atlantic Ocean, to stealth bombers, to landing on the moon. We look for people who have bold new ideas, courage, and a pioneering spirit to join forces to invent the future, and have fun along the way.

We are a trusted provider of mission-enabling solutions for global security.
We are looking for you to join our team as an Engineer RF Microwave Design based out of Pt Mugu, CA.

The qualified candidate will have the opportunity to develop solutions for our customers' most difficult technical challenges. Candidates must be self-motivated systems thinkers who can work as part of an engineering team.

Responsibilities:
• RF systems development
• Performance analysis
• Data analysis
• Support of firmware, software, and hardware integration and test
• Follow supplied USMC operational scenarios, requirements, and architecture framework (DoDAF) for system development.
• Assist the senior systems engineer with the generation and documentation of a new system's architecture and design (power, RF, and functional block diagrams).
• Review system thermal, safety, and reliability analyses.
• Assist the senior system engineers with new system design features to enhance USMC supportability and maintainability of the system.
• Research and make recommendations on COTS components for system development based on system performance requirements, size, weight, and power constraints, etc.
• Support system prototyping at the bench level, in order to technically evaluate potential COTS components for possible use in new systems and to then evaluate subsequent system design performance.
• Run and develop subsystem Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs).
• Support the review of electro-mechanical system drawings.
• Assist with troubleshooting system failures and performance issues.
• Support the use of key processes, such as configuration management for system changes after the system baseline is established.
• Support test evaluation of system performance in the lab. Operate the system and test equipment to evaluate functional and RF performance against requirements.
• Review system design documentation and operational checklists, procedures, user manuals, training materials, and other technical publications for technical accuracy and completeness.
