Electrical Engineer - National Security Accelerator Program

Working alongside MITRE mission specialists and engineers, you will be supporting national security sponsors while helping to design, develop, and implement solutions and technologies to address the electrical engineering challenges of our government sponsors. You will learn about MITRE sponsor missions and apply your technical knowledge and skills to problem-solving and innovation. At the culmination of the Accelerator Program , you will become part of MITRE’s National Security team focused on sponsor missions with a strong technical background enabling you to be a future leader in the company. From wireless communications to satellite navigation, you will learn to apply electrical engineering expertise, innovative concepts, and technology solutions to address every facet of our sponsor’s electrical engineering challenges to include: Antennas/Electromagnetics/Nuclear Effects ASIC Design Communications Network Engineering Computational Imaging Electrical Engineering Electronic Warfare Electronics Engineering Embedded Security Embedded Software Engineering Energy Systems FPGA Engineering Photonics Position Navigation and Timing Reliability RF Systems Engineering Sensors Signal Processing What are some examples of the projects that I might work on? Software defined radios to implement wireless communication protocols and perform signal analysis using statistics and machine learning Design and verification of real-time signal processing modules for a field-programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation of next generation military GPS receivers Evaluating impacts of spectrum co-use between government assets and commercial LTE signals Error correction coding techniques for physically unclonable functions (PUFs) in the presence of attackers with physical access C++ code to interact with custom hardware peripherals and provide status and control interfaces to higher-level software on a complex prototype Simulation tools to predict the navigation performance of satellites or other space vehicles What does an ideal MITRE Accelerator Electrical Engineering / Computer Engineering candidate look like?
