Advanced experience with RF test and measurement equipment (spectrum analyzers, signal generators, VNA, oscilloscopes, RF power meters).
Experience with Microsoft software products including Visio.
Active TS/SCI Clearance required.
Desired Skills:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or higher) in Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related discipline (equivalent industry experience acceptable).
