Radio Frequency Engineer, Level II, III
$150,000–$150,000 year
On-siteFort Meade, Maryland, United States
Job Summary
Develop and execute product testing and integration plans for new or updated RF products. Evaluate engineering materials to detect deviations and recommend 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 with other design engineers during collaboration. Assist with design, integration, and sustainment of common software elements of Government software-defined radio systems, including shared libraries, modem signal processing, and automated test deployment. This role requires U.S. citizenship, a relevant bachelor's degree, and five to ten years of RF design experience with a TS/SCI clearance.
Required Qualifications
- U.S. Citizenship
- Bachelor's degree in electrical, electronic, or computer engineering; systems engineering; physics; mathematics; telecommunications; or computer science
- 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)
- 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
