Job Description:
Position Summary The client is looking for a Radio Frequency
Engineer to develop 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 RF portion of specialized RF/digital
board-level solutions. Share design requirements and restrictions
of RF systems and related propagation with other design engineers
during collaboration efforts. Assist with design, integration, and
sustainment of common software elements of Government
software-defined radio systems including: 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 will be required to access; U.S.
Citizenship is required. Bachelor's degree in electrical,
electronic, or computer engineering; systems engineering; physics;
mathematics; telecommunications; or computer science. Must have a
total of five (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 of combined detail
design experience in at least two of the following areas of
expertise: RF and 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 to include modem 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 implementing transmitters,
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. RF link 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: RF
and 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,
