RF Applications Engineer with Security Clearance

General Summary: We are seeking a System Design/Architecture - Multi-Focus Application Engineer to join the Communications Test Systems team. The CTS team is responsible for developing software and hardware solutions to perform functional and diagnostic testing of various communication electronic assemblies (Unit Under Test, or UUT) which are critical for supporting our servicemen and women. This position will involve understanding and capturing customer requirements, defining test scenarios which will verify the performance and parametric data of tactical communication equipment, and developing new test applications to validate the requirements, both RF and digital, resulting in the end user's ability to determine if the UUT meets minimal service requirements or should be removed from service for repair and restoration. Qualifications: 1. Experience and understanding of application principles, theories, concepts, practices, and standards relating to modern software-defined architectures, including object-oriented design.
2. Industry experience with software development in C , C , C, or other Object Oriented language required. 3. Fluent in and ability to demonstrate Object Oriented Design practices.
4. Analytical reasoning and problem solving with knowledge in performing root cause analysis and recommending correct action to resolve test failures.
5. Experience with using communication and/or bench test equipment to include but not limited to spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters and signal generators. 6. Basic knowledge of RF systems and measurements.
7. Good communication and interpersonal skills.
8. Experience in tactical/airborne radio logistics is a benefit
9. Position is not a remote position.
10. Must be a US Citizen. Education/Experience: 1. Minimum Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science (BSCE, BSEE or BSCS) is required.
2. Minimum 7+ years' experience or equivalent background. Principal Duties and Responsibilities: 1. Perform analysis of technical OEM documentation, schematics, and UUT behavior to understand the functionality of the UUT with regards to determining test requirements. In the absence of documentation, the Engineer must use Engineering know-how to determine test requirements.
2. Design physical interface connections requiring document generation of an electrical schematic or wire list and bill of material to connect the UUT input/output (I/O).
3. Develop software to implement previously defined test requirements by using object-oriented APIs to apply stimulus to and measure outputs from the UUT. Required to configure Test System instrumentation and UUT settings, apply input signals to the UUT and in turn verify the corresponding expected outputs.
4. Perform debug and troubleshooting procedures as required to resolve failure conditions during development and reported by end users.
5. Usage of Life Cycle DevOps.
6. Use of revision control software for all source and document data.
7. Perform software validation and verification testing.
8. Travel and customer interface may be required.
9. When needed, the ability to work independently to meet project goals, or to work with the group to ensure best practices are used.
