• Experience supporting technical assessments, test events, or analysis activities in engineering, mission assurance, or vulnerability-focused environments.

• Foundational familiarity with electromagnetic effects, RF propagation/antenna concepts, EMI/EMC, or RF-DE assessment methods (coursework or experience).

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience with EMI/EMC standards and test methods, HIRF test concepts, or RF hazard analysis (job experience, internship, or academic project).

• Experience using modeling, simulation, or data analysis tools (e.g., MATLAB, Python, Excel-based analytics) to support test analysis

Basic Compensation:

The offered rate will be based on the selected candidate’s knowledge, skills, abilities and/or experience and in consideration of internal parity.
