Hybrid | Huntsville, AL | Full-Time | 9/80 Schedule

This isn't another defense contractor job.

Join a mission-focused engineering team developing next-generation RF communications and Electronic Warfare capabilities for national defense.

Work hands-on across SDR, radar, resilient networking, secure communications, and RF sensing technologies while contributing directly to systems from design through integration, testing, and field demonstration.

Why experienced engineers choose Secmation

• Spend your time building, integrating, and testing advanced RF systems.
• Contribute to system development from early design through field deployment.
• Work directly with experienced engineers, DoD customers, and mission users.
• Solve challenging RF, Electronic Warfare, SDR, radar, and secure communications problems.
• Collaborate with a small, highly technical team where every engineer has real impact.
• Build technology designed to transition into operational use.

What you'll build and contribute

Contribute directly to the development of advanced RF technologies that support critical defense missions.

This is a highly hands-on individual-contributor role focused on design, implementation, modeling, integration, HWIL testing, field demonstration, validation, and operational deployment.

The position does not carry technical team-lead responsibilities.

You'll work across:

• Electronic Warfare capabilities and applications, with opportunities to support Electronic Attack, Electronic Support, Electronic Protection, and countermeasure development.
• Software Defined Radio solutions, including software, embedded processing, and integration with firmware-based radio platforms and secure embedded communications systems.
• Tactical RF communications, SATCOM, resilient networking, radar, and RF sensing technologies.
• AI-enabled RF analysis, mission systems, and adaptive signal-processing capabilities as part of the broader program environment.
• RF algorithm development, communications-system modeling, mission simulation, and scenario development using MATLAB, Python, or comparable tools.
• System integration, hardware-in-the-loop testing, field testing, validation, and live customer demonstrations.
