23rd EWS Electronic Warfare Engineer Security Clearance

Position: 23rd EWS Electronic Warfare Engineer with Security Clearance
The successful candidate will assist the 350th Spectrum Warfare Group (350 SWG) within the 23rd Electronic Warfare Squadron (23 EWS), at Eglin AFB, Florida. The 350 SWG is the technical focal point for all electronic warfare (EW) support of warfighter systems for the Combat Air Forces (CAF) fighter, bomber, airborne surveillance and helicopter platforms.

Essential Job Functions:

The mission of the 350 SWG is to develop and test mission data (MD) to identify and/or defeat enemy radar and infrared guided missile systems, thus enhancing aircrew and aircraft survivability in combat. This mission includes MD design and development, operational EW testing, MD validation and verification activities, performance characterization, and integration of new and emerging threat parameters into fielded EW systems.

The successful candidate will:
Function as the senior EW system engineer and technical lead responsible for the design, development, testing, evaluation, and engineering of MD on the applicable EW system. Serve as lead engineer and team manager during major EW system operational test and evaluation events, coordinating technical planning, execution, and reporting. Function as the senior system project engineer performing advanced systems engineering tasks and hardware/software design activities for EW equipment and associated devices.

Act as the senior engineer with project management responsibility to direct and conduct research and development demonstrations for complex Electromagnetic Warfare systems. Gather, interpret, and program emitter definitions using EDG, Spectre, and other relevant software tools referencing appropriate intelligence sources. Understand and program ancillary Radar Warning Receiver parameters to ensure MD completeness and accuracy. Program, run, and debug electromagnetic environment simulations;

experience with CEESIM and Keysight Simview is highly desired. Interpret test results and translate findings into engineering recommendations that ensure MD products meet customer performance objectives. Build prototype tools to support MD development and test efforts using suitable programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, and/or Java. Collaborate with all mission stakeholders to ensure MD design, development, and testing align with customer requirements and operational timelines.

Provide training and technical guidance to less senior staff to build team capability and support mission execution. Develop and maintain code that supports the MD reprogramming process.

Required Skills:

Due to the sensitivity of customer related requirements, U.S. Citizenship is required. A bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or a related field, or equivalent experience in Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations related to relevant platforms. 5+ years of experience related to mission data development, EW systems, or electromagnetic spectrum operations. Active Top Secret Security Clearance with SCI Eligibility. Demonstrated ability to recognize and analyze problems, conduct research, summarize results, and make appropriate recommendations.

Programming skills with knowledge of various software languages applicable to MD development, simulation, and analysis such as MATLAB, Python, and/or Java. Testing and debugging skills related to MD development, simulation execution, and MD validation and verification. Experience in the development and implementation of mission data on aircraft EW and/or defensive systems. Providing engineering and analysis in the following activities: developing and updating threat databases using Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming (EWIR) tools, conducting, and reporting performance characterization assessments (PCAs);

designing and using computer-based tools to flag and extract threat system parametric for analyses; generating optimized EW MD software files; developing and using software simulations and EW laboratory facilities to verify and validate MD prior to fielding; and performing rapid reprogramming of fielded MD in response to adversary threat changes. Experience programming and debugging electromagnetic environment simulation models and scenarios.

Experience managing multiple Areas of Regard for MD and prioritizing emitter assignments to maintain product currency. Experience interacting with System Program Offices and other DoD organizations. Experience supporting the Department of the Air Force acquisition cycle. Experience developing and presenting technical briefings to leadership and external stakeholders. Working knowledge of computer systems and an understanding of Windows-based personal computers and Microsoft Office software and possess the ability to communicate effectively both orally and written.

Provide training to new staff to enable them to contribute to the mission. Required to travel. Desired

Skills:

Knowledge of EW weapons systems development, test and evaluation, and systems engineering. Knowledge of Department of Defense (DOD) test and evaluation…
