RF/Software Engineer

Job Description

A government-supporting organization is seeking an RF/Software Test Engineer to support the verification and testing of an RF/FPGA-based system. This person will work closely with an FPGA engineer to help prove the system is operating as designed through test architecture setup, test execution, hardware configuration, and software-based control/automation. The engineer will work hands-on with RF laboratory equipment such as VNAs, oscilloscopes, and SDRs, configuring equipment in different test configurations and repeatedly executing tests to validate system performance. They will also use Python as the primary software language, with MATLAB and C++ as additional valuable skills, to develop and improve engineering/test capabilities. A portion of the work will involve taking the basic software setup currently being used to control the FPGA and improving/developing that capability further in Python or C++ so that others can operate it independently.

Skills and Requirements

• 5–7 years of engineering experience with an RF/EW background

• Hands-on experience with RF lab/test equipment, particularly VNAs, oscilloscopes, SDRs, or similar equipment

• Strong Python experience in an engineering, test, automation, or hardware environment

• Experience with verification/testing, including setting up tests, executing them, analyzing results, and proving a system performs as expected Ability to obtain a clearance

• MATLAB and/or C++ development experience

• Experience interfacing software with FPGA or other RF hardware

• Active Secret clearance

• Broader RF, EW, radar, communications, SDR, or signal-processing experience. Those areas also appeared in UDRI's earlier related requirement.
