 1 vacancy - Crane Nvl Weapons Support Ctr, IN

Incumbent will be writing test software and performing circuit design for the automated test systems supporting the AN/ALQ-99 tactical jamming system. 

Major Duties

The Department of Defense defines electronic warfare as “Any military action involving the use of electromagnetic and directed energy to control the electromagnetic spectrum or to attack the enemy....The three major subdivisions within electronic warfare are: electronic attack, electronic protection, and electronic warfare support.” Electronic warfare support can be considered the foundation of EW. This activity includes “listening” to an enemy’s radars and communications to determine what frequencies and wavelengths he is using, so that others can better attack or protect against them. Electronic attack activities include jamming or deceiving an enemy’s radar or radio communications, oftentimes by exploiting information collected by electronic warfare support assets. Electronic protection (or electronic countermeasures, (ECM)) also jams or deceives an adversary’s use of the electromagnetic spectrum. ECM are usually used in the “end game,” when an enemy missile, for example, has locked onto an aircraft and is homing in for a kill.  The Airborne Electronic Attack Division is looking for an individual to work in the field of electronic warfare that has a background in areas such as, microwave theory, communication theory, circuit design,  and automated test systems .

The individual will be assigned to a team which is involved with designing automated test systems, test system interfaces, and writing test software supporting the EA-18G and EA-6B aircraft.  This employee would serve as a subject matter expert in one or more areas such as: test station design, test interface design,  test program writing, and test program integration.

Duties would include:Analysis of test requirements for Units Under Test (UUT’s), RF and digital circuit design, writing test program software in Labview and or ATLAS, integrating software, and developing associated instructions and technical data for publications.

Strong written, verbal, and presentation skills are necessary.  While this position is not primarily programmatic, the ability to translate technical and scientific subject matter for programmatic consideration is required. Experience with writing and presenting capability development proposals is highly desirable.
