This position supports RF and electrical engineering for signal communications management and power distribution supporting test and evaluation activities. The selected candidate will design and optimize electrical and electronic test range infrastructure, including wired and wireless communications and fiber-to-cellular towers. Additionally, this role involves managing range power distribution systems, performing power system studies, and testing/evaluating threat devices.
Job Responsibilities
Provide RF and electrical engineering support for signal communications management and power distribution in support of MXQT test and evaluation activities.
Design, analyze, evaluate, and optimize electrical and electronic test range infrastructure, including wired and wireless communications systems.
Manage and support fiber-to-cellular wireless tower architecture and associated telecommunications infrastructure.
Manage and evaluate test range power distribution systems and support improvements to reliability, safety, and operational performance.
Perform power system studies and engineering evaluations, including steady state, short circuit, dynamic stability, transient, harmonic, flicker, switching overvoltage, lightning, energization, and related analyses.
Apply technical knowledge of electronics principles to troubleshoot and resolve complex electrical and RF-related issues.
Conduct electrical and RF measurements on systems and components using specialized diagnostic and test equipment.
Support testing and evaluation of CIED and CUxS threat devices and associated processes.
Evaluate equipment design, assess system performance, and provide recommendations for technical improvement.
Test, evaluate, troubleshoot, repair, and support fiber optic and copper cable systems used in lab and range environments.
Support fielded power and communication cabling through design, evaluation, maintenance, management, and repair on test ranges.
Prepare support-equipment reports and related engineering documentation supporting system readiness and customer decision-making.
May perform quality assurance testing of assemblies and equipment fabricated by technicians.
Support work in both laboratory and outdoor field environments, including testing in variable weather and operational conditions.
