We are seeking a Sr. Principal RF/Spectrum Systems Engineer to support Counter Unmanned Aircraft Systems (CUAS) engineering for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). In this high-impact role, you will lead the research, testing, evaluation, and spectrum analysis of cutting-edge UAS detection and mitigation technologies in active airport environments.

This position uniquely bridges hands-on RF engineering, advanced systems analysis, and national policy development—directly influencing future FAA Advisory Circulars and aviation safety standards.

Key Responsibilities

RF & Radar Engineering

• Lead radar testing across L, S, C, X, Ku, and Ka frequency bands using FMCW, pulse Doppler, and other waveforms (including Phased Array antenna technologies).
• Lead testing of mitigation devices operating in other frequency bands (VHF/UHF/Microwave).
• Conduct precise RF measurements (power, gain, EIRP, spectrum occupancy) and evaluate electromagnetic compatibility (EM/EMC) for spectral compliance.
• Perform near-field and far-field antenna range measurements in controlled or operational environments.

CUAS Research, Testing & Evaluation (RD/T&E)

• Conduct rigorous spectrum interference testing at active airports prior to CUAS deployment.
• Develop, execute, and oversee detailed test plans, test cards, and structured evaluation frameworks.
• Manage vendor systems during deployment, troubleshooting, data collection, and teardown.
• Establish selection criteria for UAS platforms used in evaluations, alongside performance metrics and pass/fail criteria.
• Document all RD/T&E activities to contribute to FAA guidance on the selection, procurement, deployment, and management of CUAS systems as well as RF-specific measurement equipment.
