Utilize spectrum analyzers and oscilloscopes to perform system testing, verify RF signals, conduct EMI/RF troubleshooting, and ensure full system functionality
Ensure the complete telemetry package is strictly compliant with RCC IRIG-106 standards
Develop accurate "as-built" 2D drawings, interconnect diagrams, and schematics to facilitate future modifications
Ensure all integrated RF components operate efficiently within the cart's mobility footprint and standard 120V/20A single-phase power limits

Qualifications

Required Education:

Bachelor's degree and nine (9) years' experience; additional four (4) years' experience can be considered in lieu of degree

Required Clearance:

Must possess an active Secret security clearance with the ability to maintain; ship required

Required Skills:

Proven experience in RF signal processing, radar, or military communications systems integration
Hands-on experience with telemetry data standards, specifically RCC IRIG-106
Proficiency with RF test equipment (Spectrum Analyzers, Oscilloscopes, Network Analyzers)
Familiarity with hardware integration in mobile, size/weight/power (SWaP) constrained environments
Ability to generate and interpret 2D electrical schematics and wiring interconnects

Desired Skills or Required Certifications:

Previous experience with MQ-9 communication systems or similar unmanned aerial platform telemetry
Familiarity with military encryption devices (e.g., TACLANE) and secure data storage solutions
Experience supporting 12-to-18-month prototype-to-delivery acquisition lifecycles within DEVCOM or AFLCMC environments
