Responsibilities
Serve as the technical authority for system integration and test (I&T), owning planning, execution, and closure of integration, verification, validation, and acceptance activities
Lead hands-on subsystem and system integration at the Santa Clara, CA facility, including bring-up, debugging, and performance characterization of software defined radio (SDR) systems which comprised of embedded SW, FPGA, GPU, and RF collection hardware
Develop integration and test plans, procedures, and success criteria in close collaboration with the engineering team, increasing rigor as programs transition from prototype to production
Provide schedule inputs and actively drive I&T activities to closure in coordination with project leadership
Author integration and test procedures, reports, verification matrices, and supporting artifacts for internal reviews, customer acceptance, and formal IV&V
Prepare systems for customer and partner site integration (ground, airborne, maritime), including ICDs, risk mitigation, test readiness, drawings, and direct interaction with primes and customers
Serve as the technical point of contact for I&T with prime integrators and partners; periodically brief internal and external leadership on status, risks, and results
Support on-site CONUS integration and test activities, including system assembly, calibration, performance testing, and acceptance testing
Support front-end systems engineering activities as needed, while retaining primary ownership of back-end engineering activities including integration, test, deployment, training, sustainment, and field debugging
Support flow-down of environmental and qualification requirements and coordinate with internal and external test facilities for qualification testing
Specify and oversee test fixtures, test equipment, and supporting infrastructure to enable efficient and repeatable I&T
Perform hands-on performance analysis of complex data sets (e.g., RF collection, SDR outputs, direction finding and beamforming results) using appropriate analysis tools (e.g., Python, MATLAB, Excel)
Maintain operational and technical documentation, including procedures, training materials, manuals, and field support documentation
Maintain organized repositories of signal data, test data, and results to support analysis, traceability, and sustainment
Provide technical guidance and mentorship to engineers supporting I&T activities without formal line-management responsibility
Qualification
Required

8+ years of professional experience in systems engineering with significant emphasis on integration and test of complex RF and embedded systems
Demonstrated experience leading system-level integration and test activities from prototype through customer acceptance
Strong background in wireless SIGINT, electronic warfare, or related RF sensing systems, including communication signals, direction finding, and beamforming
Experience integrating software defined radios, embedded processing platforms, and small-form-factor hardware for airborne or otherwise constrained environments
Hands-on experience analyzing complex technical data sets, with the ability to read and work effectively in Python- and MATLAB-based environments
Strong technical communication skills, including the ability to produce clear written documentation, diagrams, and briefing materials
Ability to work independently and make sound technical decisions in a small, fast-moving organization
U.S. citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a U.S. security clearance
Preferred
Active U.S. security clearance
Experience working with prime integrators and government customers in formal integration, test, and acceptance contexts
Experience with formal verification, validation, and qualification processes for systems transitioning from prototype to production
Experience with FPGA- and GPU-accelerated signal processing systems and their integration into end-to-end products
Familiarity with Linux-based systems, containerized software environments (e.g., Docker), and deployment of complex software stacks on embedded platforms
Working knowledge of information systems and cyber / information assurance practices
Experience supporting deployed systems, including field integration, training, sustainment, and operational troubleshooting
