* The Opportunity:

** We are seeking a systems engineer to work with the Army's premier signal intelligence R&D engineering organization. You will work to develop cutting edge SIGINT capabilities with a top-tier team of professionals. You will work to solve a diverse range of technical challenges by engineering solutions for systems engineering, RF/antenna engineering, field operations, technical documentation, procurement support, and user training problems.

** Responsibilities:
*** Lead the systems engineering lifecycle for SATCOM prototypes, from requirements definition through integration, fielding, test, sustainment, and transition.
* Develop system architectures, interface definitions, block diagrams, network diagrams, RF signal-flow diagrams, bills of material, configuration baselines, and technical operating procedures.
* Design and integrate deployable SATCOM systems incorporating antennas, feeds, low-noise block down converters (LNBs), block up converters (BUCs), amplifiers, modems, wave guides, RF cabling, networking equipment, compute platforms, and mission-processing equipment.
* Travel to operational, test, exercise, customer, vendor, and field locations to install, configure, operate, test, troubleshoot, maintain, and recover SATCOM prototype systems.
* Create and maintain operator manuals, installation guides, troubleshooting guides, maintenance procedures, quick-reference cards, and training materials.

* ** MUST HAVE TS/SCI
*** BS in systems engineering, electrical engineering, telecommunications, computer engineering, computer science, or a related technical discipline.
* 8 years of previous work experience
* Experience engineering, integrating, testing, or operating SATCOM, RF communications, wireless communications, tactical communications, or related systems.
* Knowledge of satellite communications architecture and RF signal chains, including antennas, feeds, LNBs, BUCs, high-power amplifiers, modems, wave guides, RF cabling, connectors, filters, splitters, and related test equipment.
* Ability to develop and interpret system architecture diagrams, RF block diagrams, network diagrams, wiring/cabling diagrams, interface-control documents, and technical procedures.
* Experience with field installation, setup, operation, troubleshooting, and repair of communications or technical systems.
* Working knowledge of IP networking, including routing, switching, VLANs, firewalls, addressing, throughput, latency, and network troubleshooting.
* Ability to travel regularly and perform field work, including lifting and moving equipment, working outdoors, working from ladders or elevated platforms as required, and operating in austere or time-constrained environments.
* Desired:
** Experience with SATCOM systems operating in X-, Ku-, Ka-, C-, L-, or S-band environments.
* Experience with commercial and/or military SATCOM terminals, hub systems, modems, and satellite network management tools.
* Familiarity with RF test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, power meters, frequency counters, cable analyzers, and signal generators.
* Knowledge of systems engineering practices, including requirements traceability, configuration management, technical risk management, verification and validation, and lifecycle planning.
* Experience supporting government, defense, emergency response, expeditionary, or remote-site communications…
