2HB Incorporated is seeking a System Adminstrator to support its government customer in Annapolis Junction, MD.
Hardware Engineer is a critical role responsible for designing, installing, and testing RF systems, with a focus on SATCOM components and devices operating in various frequency bands, including but not limited to C-band, X-band, Ku-band, Ka-band, and Q/V-band. The successful candidate will be working on complex RF system design, installation, and test, and will be required to travel up to 15% worldwide. The RF Design Engineer will be responsible for ensuring the smooth operation of our RF systems, from design to deployment, and will work closely with cross-functional teams to ensure systems meet user requirements. The following are the primary functions of the position:
• RF Design and Design, install, and test RF/SATCOM hardware (C, X, Ku, Ka, Q/Vband) while accounting for atmospheric attenuation, ionospheric scintillation, rainfade, and polarizationmismatch effects. • Conduct site surveys, climb antennas, rack and align hardware, and operate earthterminal control consoles to establish and maintain wideband and satellite communication links. • Perform preventive, scheduled, and corrective maintenance; troubleshoot onthespot malfunctions; apply antijamming techniques and enforce safety/maintenance procedures. • Use Keysight PNAX, FieldFox, SpecA, signal generators, oscilloscopes, and BER testers to measure Sparameters, P1dB, TOI, NF, phasenoise, groupdelay, and perform nonlinear analysis (IMD, spectral regrowth). • Produce AutoCAD/Visio drawings, block diagrams, schematics, and technical design packages; • Prepare engineering plans, asbuilt documentation, test reports, and maintenance records; coordinate with crossfunctional teams (system architects, PMs, test sites). • Travel upto15% worldwide to support installations, testing, and maintenance in remote or austere environments.
Qualifications • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from an accredited college, or equivalent experience/combined education. • Handson proficiency with Keysight PNAX, FieldFox, SpecA, RF signal generators, spectrum/network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and BER testers. • Experience developing preventivemaintenance schedules, conducting equipment inspections, and authoring safetyrule documentation. • Excellent written and verbal communication; capable of producing technical reports, engineering plans, and briefing packages for multiservice audiences. • Proven problemsolving record: troubleshooting complex RF hardware, analyzing data printouts, implementing corrective actions that improve performance and maintainability. • Leadership/mentoring ability: lead inspection teams, supervise maintenance activities, and train site personnel. • Ability to carry equipment, climb antennas, and rack hardware. • Knowledgeable of RF design, installation, and test, with a focus on SATCOM systems. • Travel up to 15% worldwide.
Desired • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or similar field. • Handson proficiency with Keysight PNAX, FieldFox, SpecA, RF signal generators, spectrum/network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and BER testers. • Expertise in AutoCAD, Visio (or equivalent) for creating schematics, block diagrams, and layout drawings. • Strong ability to perform antennapattern, G/T, and linkbudget analyses that incorporate rainfade, pointingerror, and polarizationmismatch considerations. • Knowledge of RF distribution, RF Switching, low power amplifiers, power supplies, and BITE solutions. • Programming/scripting skills in Python or VBA for instrument control, data acquisition, and API integration (e.g., automating PNAX measurements). • Experience developing preventivemaintenance schedules, conducting equipment inspections, and authoring safetyrule documentation; familiar with Air Force, Army, Navy, and joint maintenance management procedures. • Excellent written and verbal communication; capable of producing technical reports, engineering plans, and briefing packages for multiservice audiences. • Proven problemsolving record: troubleshooting complex RF hardware, analyzing data printouts, and implementing corrective actions that improve performance and maintainability. • Leadership/mentoring ability: lead inspection teams, supervise maintenance activities, and train site personnel. • Commitment to continuous learning; staying current with emerging SATCOM technologies, standards, and communication techniques (ie. 5G, frequency reuse, etc.) This is a full-time position, and requires a TS/SCI/Full Scope Polygraph Clearance.
