Lead RF Systems Integration Engineer
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). It says "e.g." but not limited. We can include About the Team as a heading. Also "The Role:" maybe we treat as About the role? Actually "The Role:" is a heading but we should not repeat job title. We can use About the Role
and put the description. Then responsibilities: "What you will do:" list bullet points. Then qualifications: "Who you are:" list bullet points. Then "Even Better:" maybe as preferred qualifications? Could be part of Qualifications or separate "Preferred Qualifications". But we should only include sections when there is real specific content. We have Pay Information: salary range. So we need a Pay section with that info. Also maybe Location? Not required as a section. We can include location in a paragraph maybe under About the Team? But we should not invent sections like Schedule or Benefits if not present. Benefits not mentioned. So we omit Benefits and Schedule.
We need to remove boilerplate: equal opportunity employer, accommodation, etc. Also remove navigation etc. Also remove "Visit us at www.str.us for more info." maybe not needed? It's not boilerplate but could be considered promotional; but we should preserve substantive information. It's not essential but maybe we can keep as a paragraph? The instruction: Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The equal opportunity statement is boilerplate; we should remove. The "Visit us at www.str.us for more info." maybe not boilerplate but could be considered promotional; but it's not required. Might keep? Safer to keep as it's not prohibited. However it's not a section; we can put in a
after About the Team. We need to preserve all substantive information: team description, role description, responsibilities, qualifications, even better, pay info, locations. We must not repeat job title as heading. The job title is "RF Systems Integration Engineer". Not to be used as heading. We'll produce:
About the Team
... team description ...
About the Role
... role description ...
Responsibilities
- ... ...
Qualifications
- ... ...
Preferred Qualifications
with those bullet points. Since it's substantive, we can include. Pay:Pay
Full-Time Salary Range: $160,000 - $220,000 ...
We may also include locations: maybe as a paragraph under About the Team or separate? Could add aafter About the Team: "STR is a growing technology company with locations near Boston, MA, Arlington, VA, near Dayton, OH, Melbourne, FL, Carlsbad, CA, Atlanta, GA, and Denver, CO." We'll keep that. Now we need to ensure we don't include any boilerplate like "STR is committed to creating a collaborative learning environment..." That's substantive? It's about culture; could keep but it's not required. Might be considered fluff but still substantive. The instruction: Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. So we should keep that paragraph as well. But we need to avoid duplication: The text includes multiple similar sentences about STR's mission etc. We'll keep one copy. Let's extract the relevant paragraphs. Original text: About The Team The Sensors Division at STR focuses on technology development for advanced sensor systems and platforms in support of national security requirements. Our particular focus areas include airborne/spaceborne/surface-based radar, electronic warfare, underwater acoustics, hyperspectral imaging, and EO/IR sensing. To support these missions, the Division’s efforts span multiple technical areas, including RF analog/digital hardware, acoustic hardware, signal processing algorithms, machine learning algorithms, systems analysis, and real-time embedded processor implementation. The Algorithms, Processing and Experimentation (APEX) Group specializes in development of RF/radar modes, skills and applications, with particular emphasis on advanced signal processing chains and associated algorithm research. We mature these technologies with the objective of implementation, integration, and eventual utility in RF-based systems, typically tailoring our work for highly specific Defense (e.g., Air Force, Space Force, Navy, DARPA, etc.) and Intelligence Community needs. The Role: We are seeking an experienced RF Systems Integration Engineer to lead RF test, measurement, and system integration activities in support of integrating a new operational mode onto an externally developed radar system. This role requires deep hands-on expertise in RF and radar systems, combined with the ability to understand, influence, and integrate with a complex radar platform owned and developed by another organization. You will serve as the technical authority for RF systems integration owning the end-to-end understanding of the radar, defining integration requirements, leading RF characterization and testing, and designing the technical approach required to successfully implement and validate our mode on the partner radar system. What you will do: Lead RF testing, measurement, and characterization efforts across lab, integration, and system-level environmentsDevelop a deep technical understanding of a third-party radar system, including RF architecture, signal chains, modes, interfaces, and operational constraintsDefine and own the RF systems integration approach for implementing a new mode on an externally developed radar Translate system-level objectives into clear RF, interface, and integration requirementsDesign and validate integration strategies, including RF interfaces, timing, control, and signal processing impactsCollaborate closely with the external radar developer to resolve RF, system, and integration challenges Lead integration test planning, execution, and analysis, including defining success criteria and validation methods Identify risks and tradeoffs related to RF performance, integration complexity, and system compatibilityServe as the technical lead and escalation point for RF systems integration issues Communicate findings and recommendations to internal leadership and cross-organizational stakeholders Who you are: Active Security Clearance, with eligibility to support special access programs, for which U.S Citizenship is required by the U.S government PhD, MS, or BS in Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Physics, or related technical discipline PhD with 2+ years of relevant experience, MS with 6+ years, or BS with 8+ years experience Relevant experience designing, integrating and testing RF sensor and/or communication systemsFamiliarity with RF component technology and performance characteristicsStrong scientific programming skills including Matlab, Python, Simulink and/or C/C++Ability to translate customer requirements to determine research focusStrong communication skills and the ability to describe complex technical concepts to fellow researchers as well as to non-technical peopleDeep expertise in RF systems, radar systems, and RF test & measurement Strong understanding of radar architectures, waveforms, modes, and RF signal chains Even Better: Current TS/SSBI with SCI and ability to gain and hold SCI/SAP accreditationsPrior experience with advanced development efforts in DoD programsPrior experience integrating new functionality or modes into existing or third-party radar systemsBroad experience across multiple defense-related RF domain programs (e.g., Communications, Electronic Warfare, Radar, etc.) Pay Information Full-Time Salary Range: $160,000 - $220,000 The salary range listed is based on external market data.
