Low Observable Engineer

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree or above in Electrical or Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or Optics
• U.S. Citizenship
• Active DoD Top Secret Security Clearance

You will be the Low Observable Engineer Staff for the Signature Management & Survivability Team which is responsible for advancing low‑observable technology, modeling, simulation, and customer engagement.

As the Low Observable Engineer Staff you will be responsible for delivering cutting‑edge signature reduction solutions and guiding program milestones.

• Perform, analyze, and communicate vehicle signature predictions using Unix‑based codes and tools.
• Plan and execute laboratory measurements of material coupons to determine physical, electrical, and environmental properties.
• Research, design, fabricate, and test advanced electromagnetic metamaterials.
• Develop and maintain signature prediction tools in Python, C++, C#, Java, and Fortran.
• Lead R&D plans and collaborate with multidisciplinary design teams to solve aircraft survivability challenges.

You are a collaborative, self‑directed engineer with strong verbal and written communication skills. You thrive in fast‑paced environments, can explain complex technical concepts clearly, and are eager to drive innovative LO solutions. Your expertise—or willingness to master—stealth signature reduction, radar cross‑section, or computational electromagnetics sets you apart.

• Active DoD Top Secret Security Clearance or TS//SCI
• Previous experience in low observables (LO), survivability, or susceptibility
• Experience with radar cross section reduction (RCSR) or radio-frequency (RF) antenna design/integration
• Expertise in LO modeling and predictions:
  Computational electromagnetics (CEM), Hybrid Finite Element, Boundary Integral method (FE-BI), Method of Moments (MoM), Xpatch, SENTRi, HFSS, CST Microwave Studio, FDTD, Saber
• Experience with LO integration / multi-discipline air vehicle systems design
• Knowledge of RADAR, RF materials, RF material measurements
• Programming with C/C++, Java, Fortran, Matlab, Python
• CAD software literacy for model cleanup and meshing
