TL;DR · Mission Support Engineer, EW

Mission Support Engineer, EW joins the Electromagnetic Warfare business line to ensure that advanced electronic warfare platforms remain operationally ready at the tactical edge. This role serves as the primary technical link between field operations and engineering teams, where you will investigate system anomalies, perform root cause analysis, and manage technical issues for customers. You will be responsible for validating new software builds, analyzing fleet-wide telemetry, and translating real-world mission requirements into actionable product improvements. The work involves managing complex radio frequency spectrum awareness, threat detection, and electronic mitigation capabilities. To succeed, you must utilize Linux diagnostics, command-line tools, and log analysis to resolve issues within distributed communication networks and system-of-systems architectures. Key technical competencies include experience with software-defined radios, RF sensors, and potentially containerized deployments using Docker or Kubernetes in high-stakes environments.

What you'll do

  • Manage the operational performance of deployed EW systems across multiple theaters as the primary technical interface for field operations.
  • Investigate and resolve system anomalies by performing root cause isolation, corrective actions, and post-incident documentation.
  • Validate and test new EW software builds through pre-deployment verification and operational acceptance testing.
  • Utilize Linux diagnostics, log analysis, and command-line tools to troubleshoot issues and deploy software solutions.
  • Analyze field performance data to identify failure patterns and inform engineering investment decisions.
  • Serve as the primary technical point of contact for customers to manage and resolve reported issues.
  • Translate operational feedback and mission requirements into actionable input for product development teams.
  • Provide structured mission insights and deployment lessons learned to shape software and hardware roadmap priorities.

What we're looking for

  • Must have 3+ years of experience in the defense industry, USG, or DoD/DoW performing technical operations.
  • Experience deploying complex software solutions and managing incident-driven workflows is required.
  • Experience with distributed communication networks and system-of-systems architectures is required.
  • Ability to navigate disaggregated networking systems and perform Linux diagnostics using command-line tools.
  • Must be able to obtain and maintain a SECRET security clearance.
  • Preferred: BS in a STEM discipline such as computer science, electrical engineering, or information technology.
  • Preferred: Industry networking certifications like CompTIA Sec+, Net+, CCNA, or Linux+.
  • Preferred: Experience with EW systems, software defined radios, RF sensors, or containerized deployments.
