The successful candidate will assist the 350th Spectrum Warfare Group (350 SWG) within the 16th Electronic Warfare Squadron (16 EWS), at Eglin AFB, Florida. The 350 SWG is the technical focal point for all electronic warfare (EW) support of warfighter systems for the Combat Air Forces (CAF) fighter, bomber, airborne surveillance and helicopter platforms. The mission of the 350 SWG is to develop and test mission data (MD) to identify and/or defeat enemy radar and infrared guided missile systems, thus enhancing aircrew and aircraft survivability in combat. This mission includes MD design and development, operational EW testing, MD validation and verification activities, performance characterization, and integration of new and emerging threat parameters into fielded EW systems.
Job Responsibility:
Function as the senior EW system engineer and technical lead responsible for the design, development, testing, evaluation, and engineering of MD on the applicable EW system
Serve as lead engineer and team manager during major EW system operational test and evaluation events, coordinating technical planning, execution, and reporting
Function as the senior system project engineer performing advanced systems engineering tasks and hardware/software design activities for EW equipment and associated devices
Act as the senior engineer with project management responsibility to direct and conduct research and development demonstrations for complex Electromagnetic Warfare systems
Gather, interpret, and program emitter definitions using EDG, Spectre, and other relevant software tools referencing appropriate intelligence sources
Understand and program ancillary Radar Warning Receiver parameters to ensure MD completeness and accuracy
Program, run, and debug electromagnetic environment simulations
Interpret test results and translate findings into engineering recommendations that ensure MD products meet customer performance objectives
Build prototype tools to support MD development and test efforts using suitable programming languages such as MATLAB, Python, and/or Java
Collaborate with all mission stakeholders to ensure MD design, development, and testing align with customer requirements and operational timelines
Provide training and technical guidance to less senior staff to build team capability and support mission execution
Develop and maintain code that supports the MD reprogramming process
Requirements:
U.S. Citizenship is required

Active Top Secret Security Clearance with SCI Eligibility
5+ years of experience related to mission data development, EW systems, or electromagnetic spectrum operations
Demonstrated ability to recognize and analyze problems, conduct research, summarize results, and make appropriate recommendations
Programming skills with knowledge of various software languages applicable to MD development, simulation, and analysis such as MATLAB, Python, and/or Java
Testing and debugging skills related to MD development, simulation execution, and MD validation and verification
Experience in the development and implementation of mission data on aircraft EW and/or defensive systems
Providing engineering and analysis in the following activities: developing and updating threat databases using Electronic Warfare Integrated Reprogramming (EWIR) tools, conducting, and reporting performance characterization assessments (PCAs)
designing and using computer-based tools to flag and extract threat system parametric for analyses
generating optimized EW MD software files
developing and using software simulations and EW laboratory facilities to verify and validate MD prior to fielding
and performing rapid reprogramming of fielded MD in response to adversary threat changes
Experience programming and debugging electromagnetic environment simulation models and scenarios
Experience managing multiple Areas of Regard for MD and prioritizing emitter assignments to maintain product currency
Experience interacting with System Program Offices and other DoD organizations
Experience supporting the Department of the Air Force acquisition cycle
Experience developing and presenting technical briefings to leadership and external stakeholders
Working knowledge of computer systems and an understanding of Windows-based personal computers and Microsoft Office software and possess the ability to communicate effectively both orally and written
Provide training to new staff to enable them to contribute to the mission
