TEMPEST, Electrical Engineer will lead TEMPEST programs involving design, testing, and reporting to customers and the NSA. This role is critical for developing and certifying systems that support the warfighter by ensuring compliance with specific security standards. The engineer will create control plans, test procedures, and reports while performing pre-test setups including detection system calibration. Daily responsibilities include troubleshooting subsystems, participating in proposal processes, conducting design reviews, and providing internal training on TEMPEST design aspects. Technical tasks involve using SPICE and other EMI/EMC simulation tools to predict performance and analyze anomalies. Required skills include proficiency with oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators. The role requires a Certified TEMPEST Professional (CTP) Level 1 or 2 certification and expertise in electromagnetic theory, radiated emissions, and high-isolation performance design for systems requiring strict security compliance.
