Experienced Electromagnetic Warfare Engineer at Integrated Solutions for Systems, Inc Experienced Electromagnetic Warfare Engineer at Integrated Solutions for Systems, Inc in Aberdeen, Maryland Posted in 6 days ago.
Develop algorithms for detection, classification, and exploitation of threat emitters across wideband/narrowband spectrums.
Evaluate EW system performance through simulation, hardware-in-the-loop testing, and field data. Cognitive EW & AI/MLImplement cognitive techniques such as adaptive sensing, autonomous emitter characterization, anomaly detection, and dynamic response strategies.
Develop and refine ML pipelines (classification, outlier detection, neural architectures, etc.) for RFML and cognitive EW functions.
Leverage frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, ONNX, Scikit-Learn, or similar. Prototype Design & DevelopmentProduce rapid prototypes for EW applications using embedded platforms, SDRs, radar/EW test equipment, and RF edge-processing architectures.
Collaborate with hardware, firmware, and software teams to define system interfaces, data flows, and integration requirements.
Conduct experiments to validate prototype performance and iterate solutions based on test results. Systems Integration & DeploymentIntegrate EW algorithms into operational or pre-production system architectures (including SDR firmware, FPGA components, mission-system software, or tactical platforms).Troubleshoot integration issues across RF hardware, embedded processors, software stacks, and networks.
Support documentation, mission-thread analysis, and system readiness evaluations. Required Qualifications Bachelors or Masters degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Physics, or a related technical field.37 years of experience in EW, RF systems, radar, communications, or related disciplines.
Strong understanding of:
RF fundamentals (modulation, propagation, waveforms, spectral analysis).SDR platforms (e.g., GNU Radio, Ettus USRP, BladeRF, Redhawk SDR).Signal processing techniques (FFT-based analysis, filtering, detection methods). Proficiency in Python and C/C++, with familiarity in dataflow frameworks and embedded development.
Hands-on experience with AI/ML codebases, including at least one deep-learning framework.
Experience with Linux-based development environments, containerization (Docker), and version control (Git).Ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance if required.
Modeling tools such as MATLAB/Simulink.
Multi-sensor fusion, PNT/EW convergence, or RF edge-processing architectures. Familiarity with DoD EW standards, mission threads, and system-of-systems architectures. Soft Skills Strong analytical thinking, creative problem solving, and engineering curiosity.
