Position Summary

The client is looking foraRadio Frequency Engineertodevelop and execute product testing and integration plans for new or updated products. Essential Job Functions

Evaluate engineering materials including detecting deviations and recommending solutions. Design RF module-based systems, test plans for RF relay systems, and the RFportionof specialized RF/digital board-level solutions. Share design requirements and restrictions of RF systems and related propagation with other design engineers during collaboration efforts. Assistwith design, integration, and sustainment of common software elements of Government software-defined radio systemsincluding:common shared libraries, modem signal processing components, command-and-control / tasking systems, front-end components, automated software test, documentation, and prototype software deployment systems. Minimum Required Qualifications

Due to the nature of this position and the information that employees willbe requiredtoaccess;U.S. Citizenship isrequired. Bachelor's degree in electrical, electronic, or computer engineering; systems engineering; physics; mathematics; telecommunications; or computer science. Must havea total offive (5) years of experience in Radio Frequency (RF), microwave, analog or SDR design. Required Security Clearance: TS/SCI with FS Poly. Potential opportunity for Conditional Certification of Access (CCA). Level 2: As part of the five (5) years of experience, at least two (2) years ofcombineddetail design experience in at least two of the following areas of expertise: RFand analog circuit designs implementing low-noise phase-locked-loop circuits and synthesizers, wideband automatic gain control (AGC) circuits, RF switching and control circuits, filters, low-noise high-efficiency power supplies, modulators, demodulators, RF power detection, frequency conversion, adaptive threshold, and low-distortion driver amplifiers. Design, simulation, integration, and sustainment of Software Design Radio (SDR) systems toincludemodem signal processing components, command-and-control / tasking systems, front-end components, documentation, and prototype software deployment systems. Circuit designs implementing microwave filters, oscillators, synthesizers, switches, and the cost/performance tradeoffs associated with these types of circuits. Circuit designs implementingtransmitters, receivers, amplifiers,or software defined radios (SDRs) or Monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) components including antenna design/characterization while using VSWR to understand antenna performance. Miniaturized, low-power receiver designs ranging in frequencies from High Frequency (HF) to C- Band. Circuit designs using commercially available technologies for microwave filters, oscillators, synthesizers, and switches. RFlink budget and RF system analysis and cost estimate development for prototype and production efforts. EMI requirements development and incorporation which includes filtering and shielding in the design to ensure performance. Level 3: As part of the ten(10)years of experience, at least seven (7) years of combined detail design experience in at least two of the following areas of expertise: RFand analog circuit designs implementing low-noise phase-locked-loop circuits and synthesizers, wideband automatic gain control (AGC) circuits, RF switching and control circuits, filters, low-noise high-efficiency power supplies, modulators, demodulators, RF power detection, frequency conversion, adaptive threshold, and low-distortion driver amplifiers.
