Job Description
This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate with interest and expertise in mixed signal and RF circuits. You will gain hands-on experience with Radar, EW, and Communications hardware and have the opportunity to develop a unique expertise in critically important technology to the USAF and broader DoD.
This position is located at Wright Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB) and is within a commutable distance from Beavercreek, Fairborn, Dayton, and Riverside. #LI-HB1
Essential Job Responsibilities Primary Responsibilities:
RF or High-Speed PCB Characterization (50%+): Oversee the process of tracing PCB electrical connections to develop detailed board schematics sufficient for power on and interfacing/testing
Utilize systems level knowledge of Radar, EW, and Communications systems to build a functional understanding of how PCBs and electrical assemblies operate within the broader system
Develop non-intrusive solutions for instrumenting relevant electrical/RF signals for effective board and system level characterization Secondary Responsibilities (30-50%): Repair of damaged components, characterizing relevant parameters and behavior of unknown components, building test fixtures for characterization, and reporting findings in a formal report or presentation format
Microcontroller/embedded computer programming and/or custom PCB layout as required to support characterization efforts Other (0-20%): Assist in other efforts throughout the organization as the candidate's skillset would lend itself and schedule/competing priorities would allow.
