• Integrate developed models into the IADS simulation
• Extend sensor models to software defined radios for digital representations of RF signals
• Develop, execute, and report on verification test plans to test newly created functionality
• Support test and integration events at various test ranges and facilities (some travel required)
• Operate RF laboratory equipment oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, etc.
• Collaborate with internal and external engineering teams to ensure project requirements are met
• Keep current on electronic warfare technology, assessments, and impact on customers

• 401(k) – No waiting period. 100% vested on date of hire.
