LeadCyberRFHardwareEngineer

STR’s Cyber Division is hiring a Lead Cyber RF Hardware Engineer who will leverage their RF, analog/mixed signal and digital design skills to contribute to a multi-disciplinary team engaged in solving unique problems. The successful candidate will be comfortable designing, analyzing, and characterizing a variety of hardware architectures to aid with software and hardware modeling efforts. They should have a firm grasp of the fundamentals of computer architecture to support both software and hardware reverse engineering tasks and be able to use their hardware expertise to rapidly prototype solutions. We are seeking candidates with design experience to participate in the development of RF Hardware in the Loop (HWIL) systems, surrogate builds, digital twins, and hardware modeling support platforms that integrate a variety of electrical subsystems, ranging from commercial off the shelf (COTS) components to custom-designed boards. The successful candidate will contribute to the design process of a growing hardware team by participating in design reviews, producing comprehensive design documentation, and collaborating to ensure quality outputs and support for future design re-use. What you will do: Develop rapid prototype RF solutions to go from free space to bits using a combination of COTS and custom designs Develop PCB-based designs and implement FPGA and embedded software to support HWIL and surrogate designs Integrate processor/microcontroller debuggers to extract binary data and integrate in circuit probing solutions to characterize dynamic program execution Work in a laboratory environment utilizing test equipment (oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, VNAs etc.) to characterize and debug complex electronic systems Prepare and execute test events for customers and internal and external stakeholders Lead efforts to develop lab-based acquisition and control platforms to aid in test and characterization of hardware systems Serve as the hardware team representative on int
