Job Title: RF Specialist

State: Massachusetts

City: Lexington

Description: Group 63-Wideband Tactical Networking

The Wideband Tactical Networking Group develops concepts, technologies, and prototypes to provide on-the-move tactical military forces with wideband packet network access. The group's current focus is on the design and integration of increasingly more capable, inexpensive, modular, mobile network nodes that support satellite, airborne, and terrestrial links. The purpose of these nodes is to give mobile warfighters the network access they need to run critical command-and-control applications and situational awareness applications no matter where they are moving in a theater of operations. During testing, nodes are placed on military vehicles and driven in rugged, off-road environments both at MIT Lincoln Laboratory and at military test ranges around the country. New technologies that are being developed and integrated into the modular nodes include multiantenna band feeds, antenna positioning systems, novel waveforms, advanced networking techniques and algorithms, and programmable modems.

Description:

The RF Specialist candidate will be able to research and specify RF components that will be integrated into prototype military satellite systems. The candidate should be familiar with antenna systems and operation of RF components such as transmitters and receivers. Experience with components and frequencies greater than 30GHz is desired. The position will involve assisting in the installation of terminal radios in vehicles and airplanes. Candidate must be able to work independently.

Requirements:

A Bachelor of Engineering Technology or an EE Associates degree and 3-5 years of experience working with RF, test equipment such as spectrum analyzers and vector network analyzers.
