• Formulate novel approaches/hypotheses: Formulate novel approaches and hypotheses to localize RF emitters in complex multipath environments.
• Experiment Design: Design experimental procedures to test RF localization hypotheses in simulation and physical environments.
• Execute experiments: Execute physical RF experimentation at AFRL (or other appropriately equipped facilities) and collect the associated data.
• Analyze data: Analyze the experimental data regarding the proposed hypotheses.
• Refine hypotheses: Refine hypotheses according to analyses.
• Generate/publish articles: Generate and publish scholarly articles e.g., conference papers or journal articles.

Work Environment:

• Location: On-site at AFRL on Wright-Patterson AFB, OH
• Travel Requirements: Minimal 0-20%
• Working Hours: Standard

Qualifications:

Required:

• Experience: Specialization in Radio Frequency (RF) source localization
• Education: Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or a related field required
• Security Clearance: Ability to obtain a U.S. Government Secret Security Clearance

Desired:

• Experience:
  • Exploitation of both direct signal propagation and multipath signal propagation
  • Demonstrated analytical and oral/written skills
