- Develop spectrum utilization plans and provide recommendations to minimize electromagnetic interference and maximize operational effectiveness.
- Evaluate the performance of RF sensors, electronic warfare systems, direction-finding equipment, jammers, and spectrum monitoring capabilities.
- Conduct spectrum surveys, interference analysis, signal deconfliction, and electromagnetic compatibility assessments supporting operational missions and capability development.
- Collaborate with engineers, operators, intelligence analysts, acquisition personnel, and mission stakeholders to evaluate RF technologies and develop mission-focused spectrum solutions.
- Support operational assessments, technology demonstrations, experimentation events, and acquisition activities through RF analysis and technical evaluations.
- Develop dashboards, spectrum visualizations, technical reports, operational assessments, and executive briefings communicating complex electromagnetic information to senior leadership.
- Leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to automate signal classification, anomaly detection, spectrum monitoring, and threat identification.
- Develop performance metrics and analytical frameworks to evaluate spectrum utilization, RF system effectiveness, electronic attack performance, and operational outcomes.
- Maintain awareness of emerging RF technologies, spectrum regulations, UAS communication protocols, electronic warfare capabilities, and evolving electromagnetic threats.
- Ensure compliance with applicable spectrum management policies, security requirements, information assurance standards, and data governance practices.
Qualifications:
Required:
- Active Top Secret/SCI Clearance.
- BA/BS with 4+ years; AA/AS with 8+ years; or HS/GED with 10+ years.
