Systems Engineer

RKF, an Auria company, is looking to hire a Spectrum Manager & RF/Software Engineer. This hybrid role primarily provides electromagnetic environmental effects (E3) analysis support to the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). When not supporting the primary DISA contract, you will step beyond traditional spectrum management to apply your software and RF engineering skills across other defense programs. This includes developing new analytic tools, writing software, and building physical and mathematical models for modern communication systems. This is a Hybrid schedule that requires 2 days/week minimum at Ft Meade, the other days can be remote.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO DO:

• Perform electromagnetic compatibility analyses to determine if new MSP installations can operate compatibly in a specific geographical area without posing conflicts to nearby DoW Communications Equipment (C-E) systems operations. • Develop methods to mitigate predicted electromagnetic interference issues (EMI) when interference is predicted. • Perform sub-database searches of technical records for government C-E systems from DoW and government master frequency databases. • Perform intermodulation, radiation hazard, vulnerability, and other E3 compatibility predictions using computer propagation models. • Develop, improve, and debug advanced RF modelling and simulation algorithms. • Write C++, Python, NodeJS, or similar code. • Integrate or design different subsystems (database connections,…
