Job Details

Comtech is seeking an experienced Communications Engineer with a technical background in an Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (EMSO)-related field (e.g., EW, radar, comms). The successful candidate will be assigned to the Test Engineering (TEN) Division and will serve as a dedicated on-site liaison to the United States Space Force (USSF) Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) Integrated Program Office (IPO). In this capacity, you will provide critical Subject Matter Expertise (SME) to support the development of the National Space Test and Training Complex (NSTTC) EMSO range. The role involves technical analysis of current system capabilities, identifying future needs, and evaluating implementation trades. Responsibilities include researching, designing, and prototyping advanced communications systems, leading technical reports and proposals, and guiding the integration between NSTTC disciplines (physical, virtual) and joint-force ranges for multi-domain test and training.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Primary author of technical reports/presentations for projects of moderate/high complexity
  • Compile report input from other researchers and prepare final report deliverable
  • Lead and/or contribute to white papers and proposals
  • Propose and lead IRAD programs -Create and analyze network protocols
  • Communicate near-future range needs via development and maintenance of roadmaps to support EMSO test and training at the United States Space Force (USSF) Operational Test and Training Infrastructure (OTTI) s NSTTC
  • Guide integration between NSTTC disciplines (physical, virtual), regimes (EM, Orbital, Cyber) and joint-force ranges for joint-force, multi-domain test and training
  • Recommend methodologies and specific infrastructure to perform test and evaluation activities, crewmember training for space warfighting systems, and joint exercises
  • Provide subject matter expertise to inform prudent requirements development and decomposition to judiciously implement NSTTC EMSO systems and systems-of-systems
  • Source and manage GTRI resources to accomplish above responsibilities
