RF / Microwave Systems Engineer- DOD Clearable

All qualified resumes will be responded to in 24 hrs or less.
ALL WORK WILL BE PREFORMED ON SITE- NO Remote or WFH avialable.

RF/Microwave Engineer w/ Simulation/ Modeling to perform front-end system design activities and product development. Reporting to the Systems Engineering Lead, the RF/Microwave Engineer will collaborate with research scientists and product teams to perform system architecture and design activities. As a member of the product development teams, the RF/Microwave Engineer will develop advanced computing research into product designs and architectures.  While the focus is on hardware/software systems, a cross-functional team will be needed that can apply aspects of microwave and analog electronics, digital hardware design, mechanical and thermal design, and environmental control.
