Communications Systems Engineer: Senior Position

Work for a dynamic and growing company developing advanced technologies for customers with challenging radio frequency and networking needs. Our ideas and products will revolutionize the military and commercial use of spectrum.

POSITION DESCRIPTION

Perform as a senior communication system engineer in the Simulation, Modeling and Analysis Team developing the next generation of both commercial and military wireless networking: an advanced communication system built upon innovative spectrum sharing methodologies capable of transparently underlying a wide variety of wireless technologies. Participate in performance evaluations of these systems: requirements, high and low-level system modeling, MATLAB simulations, functional descriptions, and testing. Provide oversight of more junior team members, subcontractors, and/or vendors.

Responsibilities

Perform as a senior team member to provide systems engineering for implementation of dynamic spectrum access (DSA) technology in future and existing wireless communications systems
Work the day-to-day systems engineering process involving CONOPS development, requirements generation and analysis, system architecture design and algorithms development, proof-of-concept simulations and evaluation, benefit assessment and trade-off analysis, and development of systems engineering documentation
Assist senior leadership with business development, responding to proposals, and writing whitepapers
Provide technical analysis to support hardware and software development and implementation
Apply knowledge and experience in communications systems to develop DSA-based solutions

Experience Requirements

8+ years of experience in wireless systems engineering in all phases of the system life cycle development
8+ years of experience with physical, link, and network level protocol design and analysis
Experience with DoD wireless waveforms, including JTRS waveforms
Experience with wireless, mobility solutions, and networks, including WLAN, WiMAX, or 2.5/3/4G Networks
Knowledge of multi-frequency network solutions for mobile networks
Experience with RF modeling and simulations, including modeling of stressed RF environments and non-linear channel impairments
Knowledge of background RF noise statistics and characteristics
Knowledge of advanced weak signal detection algorithms and false alarm minimization strategies
Experience with performing design reviews and analyses of hardware and communications systems
Experience with real-time algorithm implementation
Matlab, C/C++ programming skills
