NAVWAR Engineer

Job Summary We are seeking a Modeling and Simulation

Subject Matter Expert (SME) to support advanced navigation warfare

(NAVWAR) missions focused on ensuring positioning, navigation, and

timing (PNT) superiority. This role provides executive-level

technical insight and hands-on engineering support for developing,

analyzing, and testing innovative RF, electronic warfare (EW), and

signal processing solutions in support of complex defense missions.

The ideal candidate will contribute to research, development,

modeling, simulation, and system integration efforts across

airborne and distributed sensing environments, supporting both

friendly force protection and threat mitigation initiatives.

Responsibilities Provide executive-level technical insight and

subject matter expertise for NAVWAR engineering initiatives.

Conduct research and development of multi-function, small

form-factor payloads supporting NAVWAR missions. Develop, model,

and analyze novel algorithmic concepts to enable distributed

electronic sensing effects. Apply EW signal processing algorithms

for threat detection, identification, and countermeasure

employment. Design systems supporting GPS and PNT hardening to

mitigate denial and deception effects. Develop RF hardware and

software solutions integrating EW, communications, and radar

capabilities into compact payloads. Investigate heterogeneous

sensing concepts across manned, unmanned, airborne, and ISR

platforms, including passive sensing approaches. Design, implement,

and execute testing of RF and SDR-based systems , including

hardware components. Reverse engineer existing signal processing

solutions to enhance system performance. Synthesize, allocate, and

derive system requirements to ensure architectures are complete,

compliant, and mission-aligned. Support development and

implementation of RF solution requirements , including services,

products, and airborne mission technologies. Perform

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HWIL) testing on systems impacted by PNT / GPS

denial or deception. Support technical reviews of vendor hardware,

software, interfaces, algorithms, and simulation models. Research

and evaluate state-of-the-art signal processing algorithms and

emerging technologies. Collaborate with internal and external

stakeholders to integrate solutions across diverse mission

applications. Debug, test, and validate capabilities using unit

testing and operational scenario analysis. Qualifications Required

3–10 years of relevant experience in modeling, simulation, RF, EW,

or related engineering disciplines. Prior leadership or management

experience in higher-level technical roles. Bachelors degree in

Engineering or a related technical discipline . Active Interim

Secret clearance with a pathway to SCI eligibility. Desired Masters

degree in Engineering or a related field. Professional Engineer

(PE) license (preferred for senior-level candidates).
