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.
