JOB TITLE: Senior Mission Systems Engineer, Electronic Warfare, Air Dominance & Strike, Active Clearance
The Air Dominance and Strike mission systems team is seeking a Senior Mission Systems Engineer to develop end-to-end mission-ized autonomous air systems. You will own how Group 5 autonomous platforms sense, characterize, and act on the electromagnetic spectrum. Responsibilities include defining electronic warfare capabilities, owning the electronic support chain, and validating electronic attack employment. You will build modeling, simulation, and threat-emulation environments while managing the integration of EW payloads within power and SWaP budgets. The role requires expertise in algorithms for pulse deinterleaving, emitter classification, and direction finding. You must utilize RF test equipment like spectrum analyzers and signal generators, while employing Python, Bash, and MATLAB for test script development and signal analysis to solve complex electronic warfare problems in contested environments.
Define electronic warfare capabilities, threat sets, and mission-level requirements for Group 5 autonomous platforms.
Own the end-to-end electronic support chain, including wideband channelization, emitter classification, and geolocation.
Define and validate electronic attack employment techniques, including DRFM-based deception and jamming power management.
Run and review EW link budgets to translate available margins into concrete mission employment options.
Build and maintain modeling, simulation, and threat-emulation environments to evaluate EW effectiveness.
Manage the selection, integration, and lab-to-flight qualification of EW payloads within SWaP and power budgets.
Deconflict EW operations against the platform's own datalinks and sensors with internal engineering teams.
Translate mission requirements into engineering specifications traced through design, test, and flight.
What we're looking for
Must hold a U.S. Secret security clearance.
Must be able to obtain and hold a U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
10+ years of experience in electronic warfare systems engineering, EW capability development, or EW systems analysis.
Expert level understanding of algorithms for electronic support and electronic attack systems, including channelization, pulse deinterleaving, and geolocation.
Expert level understanding of EW methods of employment, including how capabilities are tasked, planned, and employed against threat laydowns.
Demonstrated ability to build and review EW and RF link budgets, including ERP, receiver sensitivity, and J/S ratio.
Experience with RF and EW test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and threat simulators.
Proficiency in test script development and signal analysis using Python, Bash, or MATLAB.
