Position Summary:
KBR is seeking an exceptionally experienced Technical Fellow- or SME-level Electronic Warfare Engineering professional to support a U.S. Government program office responsible for a portfolio of advanced long-range weapon systems. This position will provide technical counsel across electronic warfare, electronic protection, electronic attack, electromagnetic-spectrum operations, system survivability, and mission effectiveness. The ideal candidate is a recognized expert who can translate highly complex engineering concepts into clear, decision-relevant information for senior Government leaders while also engaging at full technical depth with Government and industry engineers.
Key Responsibilities
Serve as a trusted senior technical advisor to Government program leadership on electronic warfare, electronic protection, electronic attack, electromagnetic-spectrum operations, survivability, and mission effectiveness across the long-range systems portfolio.
Communicate highly complex electronic warfare concepts, technical risks, tradeoffs, and test results to senior leaders and other Government personnel in clear, concise, mission-focused terms that enable informed acquisition and program decisions.
Engage directly with Government and industry engineers at the detailed technical level to examine architectures, requirements, algorithms, interfaces, models, test approaches, anomalies, and proposed solutions; challenge assumptions and drive technically sound resolution of complex issues.
Evaluate contractor electronic warfare concepts, architectures, designs, development plans, technical baselines, performance claims, risk-reduction activities, maturation strategies, and integration approaches for long-range weapon systems.
Assess electronic protection capabilities that enable weapon-system operation in contested and denied electromagnetic environments, including anti-jam performance, interference mitigation, frequency agility, signal authentication, resilience to deception, and protection of navigation, communications, datalinks, seekers, and other mission-critical functions.
Assess electronic attack capabilities, techniques, and integration approaches, including stand-in or collaborative effects, onboard and offboard coordination, waveform and technique development, targeting and engagement logic, electromagnetic compatibility, and operational employment considerations.
Evaluate electronic warfare requirements, threat representations, mission scenarios, measures of effectiveness, technical performance measures, specifications, interface definitions, verification methods, and requirements traceability.
Analyze threat radar, communications, datalink, navigation-warfare, and other electromagnetic-system characteristics; assess implications for weapon survivability, penetration, targeting, terminal effectiveness, and mission success.
Evaluate integration of electronic warfare capabilities with seekers, guidance and navigation, mission computers, datalinks, antennas, apertures, power and thermal systems, software, flight controls, platforms, offboard sensors, and collaborative weapon architectures.
Assess modeling and simulation, digital engineering, laboratory, software- and hardware-in-the-loop, installed-system, captive-carry, open-air range, flight-test, and live-fire approaches used to verify electronic warfare performance and mission effectiveness.
Analyze test data, anomalies, failure investigations, root-cause assessments, corrective actions, and technical trade studies; identify implications for performance, survivability, safety, cost, schedule, integration, production, and fielding risk.
Lead or support technical reviews, design reviews, test readiness reviews, program reviews, proposal evaluations, source selections, independent assessments, and other acquisition activities requiring authoritative electronic warfare expertise.
Evaluate the effects of evolving threats, countermeasures, low-probability-of-intercept or detection techniques, adaptive waveforms, cognitive electronic warfare, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and advanced signal-processing approaches on portfolio requirements and technical strategies.
Research and synthesize relevant technologies, threat developments, lessons learned, test results, and operational insights from across the Department of War, intelligence community, allied programs, industry, and the broader technology base.
Develop independent technical assessments, risk summaries, decision papers, briefing materials, technical roadmaps, test recommendations, and courses of action for Government stakeholders.
Advise Government leaders on the electronic-warfare implications of acquisition strategies, contractor proposals, architecture trades, technical baselines, test results, schedule assumptions, production decisions, and fielding plans.
Work Environment
Location: On-site, Eglin AFB, FL

20+ years of progressively responsible experience in electronic warfare, electronic protection, electronic attack, electromagnetic-spectrum operations, radar or communications systems, weapon-system survivability, or closely related defense engineering domains.
Recognized technical expertise in electronic warfare engineering, with substantial experience supporting the design, development, integration, analysis, test, evaluation, or technical oversight of advanced defense systems.
Demonstrated experience with both electronic protection and electronic attack as applied to weapon systems, airborne platforms, collaborative systems, mission systems, or other complex defense capabilities.
Experience supporting long-range weapons, air-to-air or air-to-ground missiles, precision-guided munitions, penetrating systems, advanced aircraft, or comparable high-consequence weapon-system programs.
Deep understanding of electromagnetic phenomenology, radar and communications fundamentals, signal processing, antenna and aperture performance, waveforms, interference, jamming and counter-jamming, deception, geolocation, threat systems, and system-level integration.
Experience evaluating technical requirements, architectures, algorithms, contractor designs, modeling and simulation results, test plans, test data, anomalies, countermeasure effectiveness, and technical risk.
Exceptional ability to communicate complex engineering concepts to senior leaders and non-specialist Government stakeholders while also conducting detailed technical discussions with Government and industry engineers.
Desired
Advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related discipline.
25-30+ years of electronic warfare, electromagnetic-spectrum operations, radar, communications, survivability, mission-systems, or advanced weapon-system engineering experience.
Technical Fellow, Chief Engineer, Distinguished Engineer, Senior Scientist, recognized subject-matter expert, or equivalent experience providing enterprise- or portfolio-level technical leadership.
Experience developing or evaluating advanced electronic protection techniques, electronic attack techniques, cognitive or adaptive electronic warfare, artificial intelligence or machine learning applications, advanced waveforms, sensor fusion, or collaborative electromagnetic effects.
Experience assessing electronic warfare performance against modern integrated air-defense systems, advanced radar and communications threats, navigation warfare, low-probability-of-intercept or detection systems, adaptive threats, and dense or contested electromagnetic environments.
Experience planning, executing, or independently evaluating laboratory, modeling and simulation, hardware-in-the-loop, open-air range, flight-test, and live-fire electronic warfare test programs.
Experience evaluating contractor proposals, technical baselines, statements of work, specifications, test strategies, cost and schedule assumptions, source-selection materials, or corrective-action plans in support of Government acquisition decisions.
Prior experience advising senior Government acquisition leaders, operational commanders, program executive officers, portfolio leaders, chief engineers, or comparable executive-level stakeholders.
Experience working with highly classified threat, intelligence, or special-access information desired.
