Position Overview

We are looking for motivated engineers who thrive in multidisciplinary research and development teams. The role involves collaborating with electrical engineers, mathematicians, and computer scientists to design and deliver custom digital signal processing solutions and communication systems in support of U.S. national security efforts. Candidates who enjoy working in dynamic environments—and perhaps the desert setting—will find this position especially rewarding.

Key Responsibilities

Contribute to small, collaborative project teams focused on the full life cycle of communications systems : concept development, analysis, design, coding, testing, deployment, and ongoing support.

Develop algorithms, interface with hardware, design graphical user interfaces, and support database development as part of implementation work.

Ensure deliverables follow best practices, including clear documentation, structured code, and thorough testing.

Engage directly with customers and end users to understand needs and refine solutions.

RequirementsMinimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or a closely related discipline.

Hands-on experience with scientific programming using C, C++, or a comparable high-level language on Unix / Linux platforms.

Solid foundation in digital signal processing (DSP) or communications theory.

Active TS / SCI Clearance.

Preferred Qualifications

Advanced degree (Master’s or Ph.D.) in Electrical Engineering, Applied Math, or a related technical field.

5+ years of applied experience in system development and deployment.

Familiarity with X-Midas or MATLAB.

Relevant Background (any of the following is a plus)

LIDAR theory, applications, or simulation work

Satellite communications systems

Cellular network communications

Wireless protocols (modern standards)

RF system design and development

Electronic warfare technologies

Advanced modulation techniques

Algorithm creation and optimization

Signal geolocation methods

Signal conditioning techniques

Interference cancellation approaches

Coding theory and error-correction methods
