Title: Electrical Engineer – High Power Microwave & Pulsed Power Systems

Position Summary: We are seeking a graduate-level Electrical Engineer to support the development, integration, and testing of advanced high-power microwave (HPM) and pulsed-power systems. The engineer will work as part of a multidisciplinary team developing technologies associated with prime power, pulsed-power generation and conditioning, RF generation, impedance matching, transmission, and antenna systems. Responsibilities will include supporting the design, modeling, fabrication, integration, and laboratory/field testing of electrical and RF hardware, including systems utilizing conventional and explosive-driven pulsed-power technologies. The position will involve hands-on experimental work with high-voltage, high-current, fast-pulse, and high-power RF systems; instrumentation and data acquisition; analysis of test results; and troubleshooting of integrated systems. A graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or a closely related field is preferred, with 0–5 years of relevant professional or research experience. Experience gained through graduate research, laboratory work, internships, or government/DoD research programs involving RF, pulsed power, high-voltage systems, antennas, or electromagnetic systems is highly desirable.

Primary Responsibilities:

  • Support the design, development, integration, and testing of HPM and pulsed-power systems.
  • Develop and evaluate prime-power, pulse-forming, power-conditioning, and impedance-matching approaches for advanced RF systems.
  • Support integration of power sources, pulsed-power hardware, RF generators, transmission components, and antenna systems.
  • Plan and execute laboratory and field testing of high-voltage, high-current, fast-pulse, and high-power RF hardware.
  • Select and configure instrumentation, diagnostics, data-acquisition systems, and test equipment for transient electrical and RF measurements.
  • Analyze experimental data, compare results with analytical or computational predictions, and identify opportunities for system improvement.
  • Troubleshoot electrical, pulsed-power, RF, and system-integration issues during prototype development and testing.
  • Support the design, fabrication, assembly, and modification of experimental hardware and prototype systems.
  • Document test procedures, technical results, engineering analyses, and design recommendations.
  • Work collaboratively with engineers and scientists from multiple disciplines to transition concepts from analysis through prototype demonstration.

Required Qualifications:

  • Master's degree or Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering or a closely related engineering or applied-science discipline.
  • 0–5 years of relevant professional experience
  • Strong understanding of fundamental electrical engineering concepts, including circuits, electromagnetics, transmission lines, and electrical power systems.
  • Ability to perform analytical, numerical, or computational methods.
  • Experience working in a laboratory environment with electrical test equipment and instrumentation.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability and willingness to perform hands-on engineering work

Desired Skills:

  • Coursework, research, or professional experience in high-power microwave systems, RF/microwave engineering, or pulsed power
  • Knowledge of impedance matching between prime-power sources, pulsed-power systems, RF generators, transmission structures, and antennas.
  • Experience with RF generators, antennas, waveguides, coaxial transmission systems, or electromagnetic structures.
  • Experience measuring high-voltage, high-current, nanosecond- or microsecond-scale transients and high-power RF signals.
  • Experience with electromagnetic, circuit, or Multiphysics modeling
  • Experience programming or scripting in MATLAB, Python, LabVIEW, or similar environments for analysis, modeling, test automation, or data processing.
  • Previous experience supporting DoD, government, university, or national-laboratory research and development programs is desirable.
  • Must be able to acquire and maintain security clearance.

The Ideal Candidate:

  • Is a technically curious, hands-on engineer, that is driven to achieve
  • Has a strong interest in high-power RF, pulsed power, electromagnetics, and advanced electrical systems
  • Desires to work projects from fundamental research to fielded system
  • Strong and concise communicator capable of teaching new grads up briefing general officers and academics
  • Follows systematic and logical progression of research with strong documentation habits
  • Works effectively in a multidisciplinary environment with electrical, mechanical, RF, energetic-materials, and systems engineers and scientists.
