• Support identification, characterization, and assessment of UAS command and control links, telemetry, navigation signals, and payload communications.
• Develop spectrum utilization plans and provide recommendations to minimize electromagnetic interference and maximize operational effectiveness.
• Evaluate the performance of RF sensors, electronic warfare systems, direction-finding equipment, jammers, and spectrum monitoring capabilities.
• Conduct spectrum surveys, interference analysis, signal deconfliction, and electromagnetic compatibility assessments supporting operational missions and capability development.
• Collaborate with engineers, operators, intelligence analysts, acquisition personnel, and mission stakeholders to evaluate RF technologies and develop mission-focused spectrum solutions.
• Support operational assessments, technology demonstrations, experimentation events, and acquisition activities through RF analysis and technical evaluations.
• Develop dashboards, spectrum visualizations, technical reports, operational assessments, and executive briefings communicating complex electromagnetic information to senior leadership.
• Leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to automate signal classification, anomaly detection, spectrum monitoring, and threat identification.
• Develop performance metrics and analytical frameworks to evaluate spectrum utilization, RF system effectiveness, electronic attack performance, and operational outcomes.
• Maintain awareness of emerging RF technologies, spectrum regulations, UAS communication protocols, electronic warfare capabilities, and evolving electromagnetic threats.
• Ensure compliance with applicable spectrum management policies, security requirements, information assurance standards, and data governance practices.

Requirements

• Active Top Secret/SCI Clearance.
• Bachelor's degree with 4+ years of experience; Associate's degree with 8+ years of experience; or High School diploma/GED with 10+ years of experience.
• Demonstrated experience supporting spectrum management, RF analysis, electronic warfare, communications systems, or electromagnetic spectrum operations.
• Experience utilizing Maven Smart System (MSS), Palantir, or similar enterprise data integration and analytics platforms.
• Experience developing dashboards, reports, and analytical visualizations using Power BI or similar business intelligence platforms.
• Working knowledge of Python for data analysis, automation, scripting, or RF analytical applications.
• Experience leveraging AI-enabled tools, machine learning applications, or advanced analytics platforms to support spectrum analysis and operational decision-making.
• Knowledge of radio frequency propagation, electromagnetic spectrum operations, wireless communications, signal analysis, and interference mitigation techniques.
• Experience utilizing RF monitoring equipment, spectrum analyzers, software-defined radios (SDRs), signal processing tools, or spectrum management applications.
• Experience analyzing technical documentation, RF performance data, operational assessments, and system performance metrics.
• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite, including the ability to develop technical documentation, analytical reports, executive briefings, and presentation materials.
• Ability to communicate complex technical findings and operational recommendations to senior military and civilian leadership.
• Prominent ability to collaborate with multidisciplinary engineering, operational, intelligence, and acquisition teams in dynamic mission environments.

Qualifications

• Familiarity with electronic warfare (EW), electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO), spectrum management, SIGINT, RF sensing, and electronic attack technologies.
• Experience supporting CJADC2, data fusion, common operating picture development, or operational decision-support systems.
• Familiarity with software-defined radios (SDRs), spectrum monitoring systems, RF modeling and simulation tools, digital signal processing (DSP), and AI-enabled spectrum analytics.
