Job DescriptionJob DescriptionWe are seeking an experienced Systems Engineer to serve as the Product lead for our DF products, encompassing both software and hardware development. The Systems Engineer will guide the end-to-end development lifecycle of the DF system, from requirements definition to integration and testing, ensuring alignment with customer needs and industry standards. As the DF Product Lead, this individual will oversee product strategy, customer engagement, and compliance with defense requirements, driving the product’s success in government contracts.

Key Responsibilities

DF Product Development :

  • Lead the design, development, and integration of a new DF product, combining advanced RF hardware and signal processing software.
  • Define system requirements, architectures, and specifications for DF systems, ensuring compatibility with RF spectrum analysis and geolocation applications.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (software, hardware, and firmware engineers) to develop and integrate DF components, including antennas, receivers, and signal processing algorithms.
  • Conduct trade studies on DF system components (e.g., antenna arrays, signal processing techniques, and hardware platforms) to optimize performance, cost, and ruggedization for defense use cases.
  • Oversee prototype development, system integration, and testing to validate DF performance in real-world scenarios.
  • Propose and manage IRAD projects, ensuring technical performance, schedule adherence, and budget control.

S2AS Product Leadership :

  • Serve as the primary point of contact for the S2AS product, defining product vision, roadmap, and strategy in alignment with customer needs and market demands.
  • Engage with government customers to gather requirements, deliver technical presentations, and support contract activities, including RFPs and demonstrations.
  • Ensure S2AS compliance with defense standards, such as CMMC Level 2 and NIST SP 800-171, collaborating with the ISSO on continuous monitoring and configuration management.
  • Monitor S2AS performance post-deployment, gathering feedback to drive continuous improvement and inform future enhancements.
  • Technical Leadership :

  • Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineering teams, fostering a culture of innovation and problem-solving.
  • Lead design reviews, risk assessments, and technical trade-offs to ensure robust, scalable, and compliant solutions.
  • Collaborate with external partners, subcontractors, and suppliers to support hardware manufacturing and software integration.
  • Customer and Market Engagement :

  • Support business development by participating in customer meetings, conferences, and whitepaper development to promote DF solutions.
  • Conduct market research to identify trends and opportunities in DF and RF technologies, informing IRAD and product strategies.
  • Documentation and Compliance :

  • Develop and maintain technical documentation, including system requirements, design specifications, and test plans.
  • Ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., ISO 9001, DoD regulations) and best practices in design for manufacturability (DFM) and assembly (DFA).
  • Qualifications

  • Education : Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field. Master’s degree or advanced certifications in RF engineering or systems engineering .
  • Experience :

  • 10+ years of experience in systems engineering, with a focus on RF systems, direction finding, or signal processing in the defense or aerospace sectors.
  • Proven track record in leading IRAD projects, including hardware and software integration for RF or DF systems.
  • Experience with product development lifecycles, from concept to deployment, preferably in defense applications.
  • Prior role as a product lead or technical lead for defense-related products, ideally with exposure to government contracts and compliance (e.g., CMMC, NIST SP 800-171).
  • Technical Skills :

  • Expertise in RF systems, including antennas, receivers, and signal processing for DF, ELINT, or SIGINT applications.
  • Proficiency in systems engineering tools and methodologies (e.g., DOORS, SysML, MATLAB, or similar).
  • Familiarity with software-defined radio (SDR), FPGA development, or RF simulation tools (e.g., ADS, CST, or HFSS).
  • Knowledge of hardware design principles, including RF circuit design, PCB layout, and ruggedized systems for defense environments.
  • Experience with real-time signal processing software, such as SCEPTRE or similar platforms, is a plus.
  • Soft Skills :

  • Strong leadership and communication skills, with the ability to coordinate cross-functional teams and engage with customers.
  • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills, with a focus on innovation and customer-centric solutions.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
