Radio Frequency Research and Development Expert

The Opportunity:

What if you could use your Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Materials Engineering background to transform high-risk, high-reward scientific research programs? As an Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Materials Engineering professional, you understand the power behind complex systems. That knowledge is key when it comes to help shape and guide advanced research programs for the Intelligence Community. We’re looking for expertise in the development of image and video analytics, experience with R&D of image processing, and computer vision to help Government Program Managers run successful research programs.

Our team of scientists provide Systems Engineering and Technical Assistance (SETA) support to programs that have the potential to provide our nation with an overwhelming intelligence advantage. That’s why we need you, an Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Materials Engineering expert, who specializes in Radio Frequency (RF) anomalies in complex RF environments, to help us advise our government clients’ work with research partners that come from Academia, other research institutions, and the private industry. You’ll work hand in hand with the Government Program Manager to deliver technical support and expertise on new concepts beyond the Program but integral to the Program’s success. We’ll look to you to share your expertise through leadership and mentoring junior staff. Join us and take on exciting challenges in the Intelligence Community.
