This engineering management position will report to the manager of RF Solutions and will have Radio Frequency (RF) engineering as its area of specialization with design and test of RF antennas, systems, and components as the primary focus. This position will be approximately 80% direct to program support and 20% functional management. The Engineering, Science, and Analysis (ESA) Strategic Capabilities Unit comprises the technical talent and organizational leadership that enables the successful delivery of high-impact discriminating technologies for our customers' missions. Our collaborative, cross-functional teams are committed to innovation, integrity, continual learning and strong execution. What You’ll Do: • Be responsible for hands-on design and realization of individual antennas, phased array antennas, RF circuits, passive RF components, and RF systems. • Use computational electromagnetic analysis software to design and predict performance on various types of antennas and apertures (spiral, sinuous, Vivaldi, patch, slot, horn, etc.) • Design frequency-selective surfaces (FSSs) for use with various radiating apertures. • Implement various design techniques (materials, shaping, etc.) for RCS mitigation where necessary. • Collaborate with other engineers and technicians to realize RF designs. • Participate and guide the testing of RF hardware for required performance metrics: VSWR, insertion loss, gain, polarization, initial concept trade-off and development, in-house and customer presentations, travel, and technical proposal writing and cost/schedule estimating. • Investigate new technologies and applications for radiating apertures, antennas, and RF systems. • Mentor and guide engineers and technicians in the design, build, and test phases of RF projects and programs. • Provide technical solutions to a wide range of difficult problems involving antenna/sensor-based applications such as electronic warfare, electronic attack, electronic support measures, communications, geolocation, direction finding, etc. • Frequency inter-organizational and outside customer contacts. Represents the organization in providing solutions to difficult technical issues associated with specific projects. • Interface well with other people at all levels including customers, use initiative in applying solutions to assignments. • Functional Support: • Anticipate and ensure talent and skill mix of group are in sync with the needs of programs and new business development organizations. • Functionally manage a group of 10-15 RF engineers who develop hardware for space, air, and ground applications. • Support candidate hiring selection process, assign appropriate staff to programs, conduct performance assessments and personnel actions, support salary reviews, recognition programs, ensure group has the appropriate processes in place to meet needs of programs and compliance with approved standards. • Ensure engineers are appropriately trained to meet needs of programs as well as employee career goals. • Ensure that engineers have the appropriate tools and software to meet the needs of programs • Support Engineering Process Improvement goals, execute process corrective actions and Failure Review Boards as required; support internal and external audits, ensure compliance with ISO standards. • Support development of RF solutions in response to customer needs and support SBU capture plans and strategies, pursuit and proposal activities, and customer relationships. • Maintain a regular and predictable work schedule. • Establish and maintain effective working relationships within the department, the Strategic Business Units, Strategic Capabilities Units and the Company. Interact appropriately with others in order to maintain a positive and productive work environment. • Perform other duties as necessary. On-Site Work Environment: This position requires regular in-person engagement by working on-site five days each normally scheduled week in the primary work location. Travel and local commute between company campuses and other possible non-company locations may be required. Working Conditions: • Work is performed in an office, laboratory, production floor, or cleanroom, outdoors or remote research environment. • May occasionally work in production work centers where use of protective equipment and gear is required. • May access other facilities in various weather conditions.
