Role Posting Log in to save

The Scientist, Electrical Engineering role involves architecting, designing, and integrating Radio Frequency hardware at the subsystem level, with a primary focus on Electronic Warfare applications. The successful candidate will decompose top-level specifications into detailed functional requirements for card and module levels, performing electromechanical designs and trade studies. Key responsibilities include analyzing electrical requirements for feasibility, selecting components based on reliability, and overseeing cost and technical progress. The role requires expertise in direct RF sampling, high-speed mixed-signal architectures, and ADC/DAC selection. Necessary skills include proficiency with RFSoC platforms, JESD interfaces, and tools like Genesys or SystemVue. Candidates must demonstrate knowledge of sampling theory, Nyquist zone planning, and EMI/EMC standards while utilizing lab equipment like spectrum analyzers and vector network analyzers to solve complex defense technology problems.
