• Experience working in Linux-based engineering or operational environments and supporting software integration, testing, troubleshooting, or deployment.
• Experience assessing operational systems and identifying hardware, software, or system-level changes to address deficiencies or improve performance.
• Experience researching technologies and supporting hardware or software replacement and technology-refresh strategies to mitigate obsolescence.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and technical problem-solving abilities, including investigating complex system-level issues and identifying corrective actions.
• Ability to collaborate across engineering disciplines and with technical staff, program leadership, customers, and operational stakeholders.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to convey complex technical information.
• Ability to work independently, exercise sound engineering judgment, and coordinate technical decisions with the engineering team.
• Ability to guide, mentor, and provide technical direction to junior engineering and technical personnel.

• Preferred: Experience with RF data acquisition, spectral analysis, signal processing, and DSP-based signal detection; RF system design, analysis, integration, and troubleshooting; and RF test equipment such as spectrum analyzers, VNAs, and signal generators.
• Preferred: Experience integrating RF hardware, software, digital signal processing, and computer-based subsystems into SIGINT/EW systems, and supporting engineering development, prototype, or operational systems in laboratory and field settings.
• Preferred: Experience supporting systems installed aboard U.S. Navy or other Department of Defense platforms.

• Evaluate operational SIGINT, EW, and COE systems and recommend hardware, software, or design changes to resolve malfunctions, improve performance, address deficiencies, and add capabilities.
• Support requirements gathering, software development, integration, testing, validation, and implementation in system operating environments.
• Assist with field operations, system installation, testing, troubleshooting, maintenance, and sustainment aboard naval platforms.
• Analyze system performance and investigate hardware, software, network, and system-level issues to determine root causes and corrective actions.
• Support Linux-based engineering and operational environments for system development, integration, testing, and deployment.
• Research hardware and software technologies, assess lifecycle and obsolescence risks, and help develop technology-refresh and replacement strategies.
• Create and maintain engineering documentation for system configuration, operation, testing, troubleshooting, deployment, and lifecycle sustainment.
