A specialized defense systems integrator in Huntsville is seeking an EW Integration Engineer to mount and configure radio frequency (RF) countermeasure systems on tactical vehicles. You will be the person who takes our sophisticated jamming suites and makes them operational on Humvees, MRAPs, and custom tactical platforms in the field.
1. Designing the physical and electrical integration of trench, dome, and directional EW systems onto various military and commercial vehicle chassis.
2. Engineering robust power distribution solutions from 12V/24V vehicle electrical systems, calculating load balances, and installing auxiliary alternators and battery banks to support high-draw RF amplifiers.
3. Routing and terminating high-frequency coaxial cables, ensuring proper bend radii, shielding, and grounding to prevent signal degradation and EMI.
4. Mounting and aligning antenna arrays, radomes, and RF emitters, ensuring optimal radiation patterns and physical protection from debris.
5. Conducting initial power-on tests, verifying VSWR, and performing basic functional checks using spectrum analyzers before the vehicle is handed over to the end user.
We require:
1. A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related military technical field.
1. Solid understanding of RF propagation, antenna theory, and the physical principles of electronic warfare and signal jamming.
1. Hands-on experience with RF test equipment, including spectrum analyzers, vector network analyzers (VNA), and RF power meters.
1. Proficiency in reading electrical schematics and mechanical assembly drawings, coupled with practical skills in wiring, crimping, and basic fabrication.
1. Willingness to travel to military bases and testing grounds for field integration and operational trials.
We offer a base salary of $85,000 USD per year, plus per diem and travel pay for field deployments. This is a full-time position based in Huntsville, AL, with frequent travel to integration sites and proving grounds. We provide all necessary tools, PPE, and specialized RF safety equipment.
