Overview: Working across the globe, V2X builds smart solutions designed to integrate physical and digital infrastructure from base to battlefield. We bring 120 years of successful mission support to improve security, streamline logistics, and enhance readiness. Aligned around a shared purpose, our $3.9B company and 16,000 people work alongside our clients, here and abroad, to tackle their most complex challenges with integrity, respect, responsibility, and professionalism. This position is a part-time Sr. RF engineering role to support various DoD customers in Virginia and Maryland. The focus is electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and spectrum related processes to include EMI/EMC analysis and mitigation techniques for Navy and Marine Corps spectrum dependent systems (SDS). Responsibilities: * Provide technical expertise to the engineering team regarding EMC and the electromagnetic spectrum for Navy/Marine Corp spectrum dependent systems. This includes land based and shipboard systems. * Analyze the RF compatibility of various co-located systems and develop EMC techniques to mitigate EMI. * Calculate link budgets and perform coupling analysis to identify operating capabilities and feasibilities of DoD and other spectrum dependent systems. * Perform EM Site Surveys to quantify the RF environment at DoD and commercial facilities. * Navigate multiple spectrum and frequency allocation databases to find information on systems of interest and apply this information to various analyses. * Use various propagation and RF modeling tools to model EMI and EMC between systems that are either co-located or spread out over vast area. * Research system and equipment characteristics along with performance criteria. * Analyze and mitigate potential EMI between different systems. * Perform and document Spectrum Supportability Risk Assessments (SSRA)s for DoD acquisition programs at various stages of development. * Oversee less experienced engineers and provide guidance and direction when required. Additional Duties (as required): * Support business development efforts as required to include seeking growth opportunities. * Support proposal efforts to include writing responses to requests for proposals (RFP) and/or participating in review teams. Qualifications: * Must be proficient with Real-Time Spectrum Analyzers (RSA), Signal Generators, Amplifiers, and general RF testing equipment. * Work will be performed primarily an office environment and will include some field and laboratory work. Typically testing will be performed outdoors. Local travel, regional and international travel is possible but infrequent. * Must be able to work both indoors and outdoors and occasionally carry test equipment up to 50 lbs. Education / Certifications: * M.S. in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or other related STEM degree. 15+ years' experience in the following: * Experience in the application of EMI, EMC criteria, or other engineering criteria for operational spectrum coordination and compatibility analyses. * Experience in the operation and evaluation of communications, combat systems, electronic warfare systems, navigation aids, and other spectrum-dependent systems, with the ability to conduct analytical evaluation of systems' RF compatibility and develop frequency plans for operational use. * Experience in conducting spectrum EMI/EMC evaluations, performing engineering analyses to predict and define spectrum EMI problems, define/design corrective measures, and operational implementation of systems within the DoD. * Experience in either RF engineering associated with DoD spectrum dependent systems or in the areas of Navy/Joint Operational Spectrum Management and National Administrative Spectrum Management processes, applications, and systems. * RF System capabilities analysis and systems integration * RF Testing (MIL-STD-461/464), EMI and EMC * Spectrum Policy to include equipment spectrum certification (ESC) and spectrum supportability risk assessments (SSRA), analysis and report development * Active SECRET Security Clearance. * RF Test Equipment: Spectrum Analyzer, Signal Generator, Network Analyzer, etc. * Lead and mentor electrical and RF engineers and teams. At V2X, we are deeply committed to both equal employment opportunity, including protection for Veterans and individuals with disabilities, and fostering an inclusive and diverse workplace. We ensure all individuals are treated with fairness, respect, and dignity, recognizing the strength that comes from a workforce rich in diverse experiences, perspectives, and skills.
