Full Job Posting

Responsibilities

  • Front‐End Hardware Integration
  • Integrate modern radar front‐end subsystems (digitizers, transceivers, control electronics, digital transceiver components) with digitized radar back‐end signal‐processing chains.
  • Ensure element‐level digitization produces validated, high‐fidelity I/Q data streams suitable for backend processing.
  • Collaborate with RF engineers to verify operating characteristics and compatibility with each radar’s unique antenna systems.
  • Interface Definition & System Alignment
  • Develop and maintain interface specifications between front‐end hardware and the modernized digital backend.
  • Ensure alignment with MOSA principles and common GBRD architectural standards.
  • Work closely with systems engineers to ensure hardware‐to‐software interactions meet timing, throughput, and synchronization constraints.
  • Integration Testing & Troubleshooting
  • Support integration in lab environments, performing functional tests, data‐validation checks, and end‐to‐end link testing.
  • Diagnose and resolve issues related to hardware configuration, signal integrity, timing alignment, data‐path reliability, and high‐bandwidth throughput.
  • Work with backend RSP/RMP teams to ensure hardware‐driven measurements and transmission instructions flow correctly.
  • Requirements, Configuration Control & Documentation
  • Contribute to requirements decomposition for hardware integration, defining performance, interface, and environmental needs.
  • Maintain configuration control of hardware integration artifacts, diagrams, ICDs, test plans, and verification results.
  • Support technical reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR) with clear hardware‐integration inputs.
  • Cross‐Team Collaboration
  • Coordinate with RF engineers, systems engineers, software‐processing teams, mission‐processing teams, and cybersecurity personnel to ensure cohesive system behavior.
  • Ensure front‐end hardware integration supports mission‐focused outcomes in alignment with the GBRD common digital baseline.
  • Other duties as assigned

Requirements

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, or related field.
  • 8+ years of experience integrating hardware for radar, RF systems, high‐bandwidth sensor systems, or real‐time mission systems.
  • Experience with digitizers, transceivers, RF electronics, timing/synchronization hardware, or data‐acquisition equipment.
  • Understanding of signal‐integrity concepts, analog‐to‐digital conversion, and high‐bandwidth data flows.
  • Familiarity with lab integration environments (SIL/DSIL) and hardware‐in‐the‐loop testing.
  • Ability to read and produce interface control documents, wiring diagrams, and system‐integration artifacts.
  • Experience collaborating across hardware, software, RF, and systems‐engineering teams.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to convey integration status clearly.
  • U.S. Citizenship with ability to obtain and maintain a DoD security clearance.
  • Candidates who have any of the following skills will be preferred:
  • Experience with radar systems.
  • Experience integrating radar front‐end components with digitized backend architectures.
  • Familiarity with FORGE, MOSA, or government‐owned mission‐processing frameworks.
  • Experience with RF test equipment (spectrum analyzers, VNAs, signal generators), digitizer calibration, or high‐speed data capture systems.
  • Experience supporting integration events, mission‐scenario validation, or gated prototyping programs.
  • Active DoD security clearance.
  • Resumes, Cover Letters, and Applications which are generated by AI will not be considered for employment.
  • Colorado Residents: In any materials you submit, you may redact or remove age-identifying information such as age, date of birth, or dates of school attendance or graduation. You will not be penalized for redacting or removing this information.
