Key responsibilities include planning and reviewing test plans, performing RF emissions troubleshooting at the component and system levels, and providing design guidance on countermeasures like shielding, grounding, and filtering. The position requires expertise in electromagnetic compatibility, RF measurement techniques, and NSA certification requirements. Candidates must utilize instrumentation such as receivers, antennas, spectrum analyzers, and amplifiers to ensure compliance with the National TEMPEST Standard. The role involves solving complex technical problems related to electromagnetic vulnerability and providing technical oversight and mentoring for engineering personnel pursuing NSA CTP certification within a defense engineering environment.

What you'll do

  • Plan, prepare, execute, and review TEMPEST Test Plans and Test Reports in compliance with national standards.
  • Perform TEMPEST services for programs with embedded crypto engines requiring compliance verification by test.
  • Direct and oversee the use of RF/TEMPEST instrumentation including receivers, antennas, spectrum analyzers, and amplifiers.
  • Perform RF emissions troubleshooting and diagnostics at the component, unit, and system levels.
  • Derive TEMPEST-related hardware requirements and provide design engineering guidance on countermeasures during early development.
  • Provide technical oversight, mentoring, and direct supervision of engineering personnel pursuing NSA CTP certification.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or related discipline and minimum 4 years of relevant experience.
  • Graduate degree and a minimum of 2 years of prior related experience.
  • Minimum of 8 years of prior related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Active NSA TEMPEST CTP-I or CTP-II certification or demonstrated foundational knowledge with current training for the exam.
  • Minimum US DoD SECRET Clearance required.
  • Demonstrated understanding of electromagnetic concepts including RF isolation, shielding, grounding, and filtering.
  • Hands-on experience operating RF and TEMPEST measurement instrumentation such as receivers, antennas, spectrum analyzers, and amplifiers.
