The Role
As the Lead Engineer for Low Observability & RF Interoperability, you will lead initiatives to minimize the electromagnetic signature of systems while ensuring seamless coexistence of RF systems. Your primary duties will include developing low-signature operational concepts, managing RF deconfliction, and overseeing system-level integration and verification. This role is crucial for ensuring mission-critical performance and resilience, especially in contested electronic warfare scenarios.
Daily Responsibilities
Design and oversee emission control measures (deconfliction and LPD) for the entire system, including airborne platforms and ground components.
Manage RF interoperability across airborne payloads (radar/AESA, RWR/ESM, datalinks, SATCOM/LOS radios, GNSS, IFF, telemetry), ensuring compatibility without mutual interference.
Conduct EMC/EMI co-site assessments: interference mapping, blocker/intermod analysis, desense risk evaluation, harmonic/spur management, and provide mitigation strategies.
Establish and manage frequency plans, channelization, guard bands, time-sharing strategies, and emission control (EMCON) profiles for various mission phases.
Lead the design of low-observable/signature-aware electronic warfare solutions for both active and passive sensors.
