The EW Division of Leidos is seeking an RF Hardware Engineer to join a multi-disciplined design team that includes electrical engineers, systems engineers, scientists, and more. This role involves the design and development of innovative sensor systems, specifically focusing on RF front end systems. The engineer will work closely with a small group to assist in performing systems engineering functions, such as architecture trade studies and developing design concepts. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in RF hardware design, testing, and measurement, contributing to a fast-paced, multi-disciplinary design environment. In this position, you will support the design, development, and testing of RF hardware operating in the DC-40GHz range as part of a highly complex integrated sensor solution. You will be responsible for generating low-level front end specifications based on overarching system requirements and collaborating with a diverse design team to implement innovative solutions for RF sensor system development. Analyzing schematic diagrams for custom or commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) electronic hardware, particularly involving high-speed digital and/or analog circuitry, will be a key part of your responsibilities. Additionally, you will develop and maintain various documentation, including requirements documents, functional specifications, interface control documents, and engineering wiring diagrams. You will also create project test plans and procedures, provide test planning support, and assist in executing both lab and field testing. Occasional technical support and field support planning may be required, along with interaction with outside customers, suppliers, and functional peer groups. The role may involve some travel and work at remote sites for limited periods, and you will be expected to provide status reports to project managers and/or division production managers as needed.
