You will engineer, test and format data for inclusion in the AN/SLQ-32(V) threat library data products. You will perform direct-inject RF testing on integrated scientific/engineering systems to assess system characterization of RF signals. You will create/update threat library data products to ensure correct classification and identification of RF signals. You will apply risk management concepts and engineering/scientific best practices to identify technical risks. You will provide well thought out advice and guidance to managers, supervisors, peers, and sponsors rooted in engineering/scientific theories and concepts. You will collaborate with a diverse group of scientists, engineers, technicians, and support personnel, to include military, civilian, and contractor representatives.
