Full Job Posting
Responsibilities
- Plan, design, and execute test campaigns against jamming threats across both benchtop and radiated (over-the-air) environments, owning test setup, instrumentation, and calibration
- Characterize system performance under jamming to identify failure modes, vulnerabilities, and the conditions that degrade the link or capability
- Determine effective countermeasures and anti-jam techniques (e.g., frequency agility, spatial nulling, waveform and power management) to defeat identified threats
- Derive and document the specifications and design requirements needed to implement those countermeasures in a form the design team can act on
- Collaborate with counter-UAS engineers to understand threat behavior and ensure test scenarios reflect realistic jamming tactics
- Verify implemented changes through iterative re-testing, confirming the system meets derived specs and closing the test-characterize-spec-retest loop
- You should have the following
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related technical field
- 7+ years of experience in RF systems, electronic warfare, or communications test and evaluation, with demonstrated ownership of test campaigns from planning through execution and reporting
- Strong RF fundamentals: link budgets, antenna theory and patterns, RF propagation, modulation and waveforms, and low-probability-of-intercept/detection (LPI/LPD) concepts
- Hands-on experience with benchtop RF test instrumentation, including spectrum/signal analyzers, vector signal generators, vector network analyzers (VNAs), and power meters
- Experience with radiated/over-the-air (OTA) testing, including anechoic or reverb chambers, open-air ranges, calibrated antennas, path-loss accounting, and measurement uncertainty
- Working knowledge of jamming and anti-jam techniques (e.g., barrage, swept, and reactive jamming; frequency hopping, DSSS, spatial nulling, adaptive filtering, power management)
- Demonstrated ability to translate test results into derived specifications and design requirements, and to verify them through iterative re-testing
- Proficiency with data analysis and test automation tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python) for processing and presenting measurement data
Nice to have
- Direct experience in counter-UAS (CUAS) or UAS systems, or working alongside CUAS engineering teams
- Familiarity with DoD developmental test and evaluation (DT&E) processes, test planning documentation, and reporting standards
- Experience designing or integrating anti-jam waveforms, frequency-agile systems, or adaptive/nulling antenna architectures
- Active U.S. security clearance (Secret or higher), or eligibility to obtain one
- Hands-on experience with jammer/threat-emulation hardware or EW signal-generation systems
- US Salary Range
- $187,000 – $261,500 USD
- The salary range for this role is an estimate based on a wide range of compensation factors, inclusive of base salary only. Actual salary may vary based on (but not limited to) work experience, education and/or training, critical skills, and/or business considerations. Highly competitive equity grants are considered part of Neros' total compensation package.
- We’re an equal opportunity employer. We welcome all applicants without attention to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran or disability status.
