Electronics Warfare Engineer

About the role

You will join a defense technology company that treats the electromagnetic spectrum as a battlespace to be owned, not just used. The electronic warfare team builds systems that detect adversary emitters, characterize their waveforms through SIGINT and ELINT processing, and deny hostile use of the spectrum with precise countermeasures. Your work turns intercepted signals into threat understanding and then into fielded techniques, closing the loop from collection to characterization to effective jamming in operationally relevant timelines. You will also develop the emitter identification library that fingerprints adversary radars by waveform, turning raw SIGINT intercepts into actionable threat tracks for operators.

What you will achieve

• Develop emitter identification algorithms that classify radar and communications signals with better than 90 percent accuracy against a library of threat waveforms.
• Build digital RF memory techniques that generate coherent false targets, validated end to end in a hardware-in-the-loop chamber.
• Stand up a SIGINT processing chain that detects, demodulates, and geolocates emitters of interest from wideband recordings.
• Cut technique development time by creating a reusable library of jamming waveforms with measured effectiveness against representative threats.
• Deliver technical assessments of adversary systems, with quantified countermeasure recommendations briefed to program leadership.

What you will bring

Must-haves

• You bring 2 to 5 years of experience in electronic warfare, SIGINT/ELINT, or RF systems engineering.
• You understand radar and communications waveforms deeply enough to recognize them in the wild and explain how they work.
• You have hands-on experience with RF test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and wideband receivers.
• You code in MATLAB or Python for signal analysis, and you are comfortable with tools like GNU Radio.
• You grasp jamming fundamentals: noise, deception, coherent versus non-coherent techniques, and burn-through math.
• You write precise technical reports and can brief findings to engineers and operators alike.
• You understand link and radar range equations well enough to predict jammer effectiveness and required power margins.

Nice-to-haves

• You have built or operated DRFM-based systems in a lab or chamber environment.
• You bring antenna or RF front-end design experience.
• You have supported field collections, flight tests, or operational EW evaluations.
• You hold an active security clearance or can obtain one.
• You bring experience with direction finding or geolocation techniques for RF emitters.
