We have an outstanding Contract position for anRF/Wireless Specialist Engineerto join a leading Company located in the Salt Lake City, UTsurrounding area.

US Citizenship is required.

Candidate must possess an active Secret Clearance orhave the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret Security Clearance.

We are seeking a Specialist RF/Wireless Engineer to help design and deliver advanced, mission-critical RF hardware solutions for military communications systems supporting the warfighter. As a senior technical contributor, you will apply your expertise in RF and microwave design to develop high-performance hardware for challenging defense applications. You will be responsible for architecting , designing , and supporting the development of key RF subsystems and circuitry that are essential to reliable communication in complex operational environments.

Job Responsibilities:

• Support the development of RF architectures and hardware designs for communication systems, translating system requirements into effective circuit card-, module-, and subsystem-level solutions.

• Perform RF/analog design, analysis, modeling, simulation, integration, and verification of high-frequency and microwave hardware, including amplifiers, oscillators, attenuators, mixers, filters, and related circuitry.

• Conduct circuit card and subsystem development activities, including design reviews, S-parameter and gain budget analysis, filtering design, and verification testing through engineering development, production, and sustainment.

• Collaborate across systems, mechanical, and software engineering teams to develop integrated solutions that meet technical, performance, quality, and manufacturability objectives.

• Support business and program objectives by contributing to proposals, developing technical approaches, identifying risks, estimating budgets and schedules, and managing technical tasks to meet program targets.

• Prepare and deliver technical presentations, design results, and recommendations to engineering, program, and leadership teams to support decision-making and continuous improvement.

• Maintain the ability to obtain a U.S. Security Clearance; active clearance preferred.

Basic Hiring Criteria:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field with 4+ years of relevant experience, or a graduate degree with 2+ years of relevant experience.

• Hands-on experience with lab equipment, including oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, receivers, signal generators, amplifiers, antennas, and power meters.

• Strong foundation in electromagnetics, RF/microwave theory, and electronic warfare.

• Ability to work independently and as part of a multi-disciplinary team in the development of RF systems and assemblies.

• Experience designing RF products from UHF through E-band, including frequency synthesizers, up/down converters, front-end electronics, antenna tracking electronics, and complete RF systems.

• Experience with Cadence AWR/Microwave Office, PathWave RF Synthesis (Genesys), and Siemens EDA (Mentor Graphics) or similar tools.

• Understanding of passive and active RF components, including amplifiers, oscillators, attenuators, mixers, and filters, and their impact on system performance.

• Working knowledge of S-parameters, matching networks, cascade analysis, gain budgets, noise figure, linearity, filtering, and related RF metrics.

• Understanding of noise figure, noise temperature, Eb/No, BER, receiver sensitivity, temperature effects, impedance interfaces, and isolation requirements.

• Exposure to RF architectures, link budgets, and system-level analysis.

• Knowledge of nonlinear RF effects, including intermodulation, IP2, IP3, group delay variation, dynamic range, and mitigation techniques.

• Understanding of power budgets and environmental design impacts.

Desired Qualifications:

• Awareness of industry trends and emerging technologies, with the ability to support technology roadmaps that improve capability while reducing cost, size, weight, and power.

• Familiarity with military and commercial SATCOM standards.

Military connected talent encouraged to apply.
