COMPUTER ENGINEER

The incumbent will participate in the design and development of new Electronic

Attack (EA) techniques and equipment by applying his/her knowledge of electronic

engineering theory and practices to real world problems. The incumbent's efforts

will be directed to the design of digital and computer portions of Electronic

Warfare (EW) prototype equipment. The incumbent will lead and support the

research and development of prototype electronic warfare systems. This includes the

development of systems with advanced Digital RF Memory (DRFM) devices, implemented

in FPGAS. The incumbent will translate system level requirements into hardware,

firmware, and software design. The incumbent will use C++, C, Python, MATLAB, and

VHDL/Verilog software languages as appropriate for these tasks. To test and

validate systems, a variety of laboratory test equipment will be used, including

spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzer and signal generators.   The incumbent

will be responsible for determining the EA effectiveness of selected conventional

and advanced EA techniques against various targeting radars and threat radar

simulators. He/She will assist in the test planning of the field experiments and act as

an operator of the developmental EA techniques equipment and data collector during

the experiments, through a combination of analysis, modeling, and

hardware-in-the-loop simulations. The incumbent will participate in data analysis

and be co-author of formal and informal publications on the results.
