We bring the strength of more than 100 years of experience and renowned engineering expertise to meet the needs of today’s mission and stay ahead of tomorrow’s threat. Our team solves tough, meaningful problems that create a safer, more secure world.

The Advanced Airborne RF Sensors department within the Space and Airborne Systems Engineering and Test Capability (SE&TC) Center seeks talented Systems Engineers. Our team located in Atlanta, Georgia, integrates hardware and software, develops test plans and procedures, debugs and evaluates system functions and interfaces, and verifies system requirements in support of final sell-off to the customer. We put our systems together, exercise them in the lab and in the field, measure and analyze performance, and make sure our products work the first time and every time. Every day is a different set of challenges to overcome. You'll be expected to collaborate across disciplines and partner to implement solutions. In this role, you'll get to know a little bit about every aspect of the system and have a direct hand in making it all work together supporting teams of engineers engaged in integration and test efforts.

You will support Electronic Warfare product development, engineering testing, integration and flight-testing, production, system deployment, and post deployment support across the product lifecycle. Through Digital Transformation (DTx) you will perform these functions using a variety of methods and enabling technologies, including Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and Agile product development.

This position is an onsite role in Atlanta, Georgia, and Test event support activity may require travel which is not expected to exceed 20%.

What You Will Do

• Develop innovative solutions to complex technical challenges in signal processing design.
• Create or modify existing electronic warfare signal processing and control algorithms.
• Develop and execute test plans, including test simulations and lab tests to verify system capability.
• Evaluate and assess functional performance of developmental RF systems, including signal processing subsystems, and firmware/control algorithms.
• Support planning and execution of Integration, Verification, or Troubleshoot Test activities in our labs and in the field.
• Support troubleshooting and failure data analyses, including root cause and corrective action processes and advanced use of lab or field test equipment.
• Complete and compile detailed performance evaluations, including the use of analysis tools, such as MATLAB.
• Prepare and present results in reports and briefings to internal or external stakeholders
• Maintain engineering specifications and drawings.
• Provide technical guidance and support to Engineering Integrated Product Team Leads (IPTLs)
• Participate in periodic team meetings, interface teleconference meetings, working group meetings.
• Support associated with implementing process requirements.

What You Will Learn

After completion of comprehensive on-the-job training, the candidate will be a part of a team supporting systems engineering, integration, and test activities across the product development lifecycle.

Qualifications You Must Have

• Bachelor’s degree in Science, Technology, Engineering or Mathematics (STEM), such as Electrical Engineering, obtained prior to start.
• Experience with tools, such as Microsoft Office, MATLAB or Python, for data analysis and automation.
• Experience with troubleshooting technical issues with electronics in an academic or internship setting, including the use of common commercial test equipment (oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, etc.).

Experience may be obtained through on‑the‑job experience, research, coursework, or projects.

Qualifications We Prefer

• RF system design, digital and analog signal processing, waveform and signal modulation characteristics and analysis, and/or algorithm implementation and testing.
• Experience with electrical schematics, interface control documentation, and communications protocols.
• Experience integrating software and firmware onto electronic hardware systems.
• Experience with reading and integrating software routines with hardware/electronics; C/C++/C# preferred.
