Principal Technical Director, AI-Enabled Spectrum Dominance

Principal Technical Director, AI‑Enabled Spectrum Dominance

Voyager is an innovative defense, national security and space technology company committed to advancing and delivering transformative, mission‑critical solutions.

We are seeking a Principal Technical Director, AI‑Enabled Spectrum Dominance to serve as the senior technical leader for our advanced RF systems, software, algorithms, and agentic AI portfolio as applied to space‑based and terrestrial electromagnetic warfare and sensing. In this pivotal role, you will drive the technical vision for the future of spectrum dominance while simultaneously leading the application of Voyager’s Agentic Computational Engineering (ACE) platform to RF hardware systems and digital signal processing (DSP) development.

This role uniquely combines deep RF domain expertise with leadership over AI‑driven hardware design and simulation workflows. You will oversee how agentic AI systems are deployed to compress RF hardware development cycles—from antenna design and transceiver architecture to DSP algorithm development and system‑level integration—accelerating the path from concept to deployable, mission‑critical capability for the warfighter.

The right person has deep familiarity with hardware, software, and algorithms across a variety of RF functions, including communications, electronic warfare (EW), radar, and sensing, with particular emphasis on space‑based active and passive RF systems. You must be as comfortable defining and executing complex research and development programs as you are productizing outcomes into monetizable commercial motions. You must also have the vision and technical fluency to direct how multi‑agent AI platforms transform traditional RF engineering workflows.

• Define and drive the technical roadmap for Voyager’s Spectrum Dominance portfolio, serving as the ultimate technical authority for RF, EW, radar, and sensing programs—with specific emphasis on space‑based active and passive RF systems.
• Set the strategic direction for applying Agentic Computational Engineering to RF hardware design, DSP algorithm development, and end‑to‑end RF system integration.
• Own the vision for how AI agents are used across the RF hardware design lifecycle, from generative antenna and front‑end design through automated DSP algorithm synthesis and simulation‑in‑the‑loop optimization.

• Lead and oversee the deployment of Voyager’s ACE platform (the Generative Engine) for RF‑specific applications, ensuring AI agents can autonomously design, simulate, evaluate, and optimize RF hardware and DSP subsystems.
• Direct the development of domain‑specific AI agents for RF engineering workflows—including agents for electromagnetic simulation, transceiver architecture exploration, waveform design, interference analysis, and signal chain optimization.
• Partner with the ACE platform team to define requirements for agent orchestration, physics simulation integration (EM solvers, thermal analysis, signal integrity), and design‑for‑manufacturing constraints specific to space‑qualified RF hardware.
• Establish automated simulation loops between RF/DSP design agents and high‑fidelity physics solvers, including meshing, solving, and post‑processing for antenna patterns, RCS analysis, link budgets, and spectral performance.
• Drive adoption of AI‑first workflows across the RF engineering organization, championing use of LLM‑based tools and agents to accelerate documentation, design review, test planning, and compliance verification.

• Lead the execution of complex, high‑stakes research and development programs for next‑generation space‑based and terrestrial RF systems, ensuring technical risks are managed and innovative solutions are delivered on schedule.
• Oversee the design, analysis, and testing of advanced RF systems including satellite communications payloads, space‑based SIGINT/ELINT collectors, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and passive RF sensing architectures.

• Architect complete RF systems bridging DSP algorithms, software‑defined radio (SDR) hardware,…
