Job Description

MTSI is seeking an experienced RF and Electronic Warfare (EW) Test Analyst to support an advanced air platform program. This position focuses on system testing, performance analysis, and validation of Radio Frequency (RF) and Electronic Warfare (EW) systems within an Integrated Product Team (IPT) framework. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in signal testing, EW techniques, and system integration, supporting mission-critical requirements for cutting-edge defense technologies.

Responsibilities
System Testing and Validation:
Conduct functional, system-level, and performance testing of RF and EW-related technologies, including radar, communication systems, Electronic Countermeasures (ECM), and Electronic Counter-Countermeasures (ECCM).
Develop test procedures, plans, and criteria aligning with program requirements and DoD standards.
Validate interoperability and integration of RF/EW components within advanced air platform systems.
Signal Analysis and Diagnostics:
Analyze RF signals and EW performance in simulated and live testing environments.
Use testing tools and techniques (e.g., spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and hardware-in-the-loop simulation systems) to troubleshoot and resolve issues with RF/EW systems.
Collaboration Within IPT Framework:
Partner with systems engineers, software developers, and other IPT members to ensure RF/EW systems meet performance and functionality requirements.
Facilitate cross-functional coordination, ensuring seamless integration of RF/EW systems with avionics and mission software.
Testing Tools and Data Reporting:
Operate advanced test systems and tools to measure system performance and capture testing data.
Create detailed test reports, dashboards, and presentations to communicate findings to program stakeholders.
Operational Readiness Testing:
Support testing in laboratory settings, hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) simulations, and operational field environments.
Verify air platform RF/EW systems' capabilities under real-world conditions, including electronic attack/defense scenarios and responses to radar threats.
Compliance and Documentation:
Ensure system testing adheres to DoD standards such as MIL-STD specifications, RMF, and cybersecurity best practices.
Manage and document testing processes to ensure future sustainment and compliance.

Qualifications
