Position Description

Radar and Antenna Systems

Provides engineering capabilities for system design; system integration; cost, risk, and performance analyses; trade studies; system testing; and analysis and resolution of in-service problems of radar transmitting and/or receiving systems and/or various antennas, signal generators, transmitters, RF memory devices, and other components and devices including wide and narrow band antennas (such as wave guide, coax, stripline, microstrip, fin line, image, dielectric wave guide, surface wave, slots, linear, planar, apertures, norms, reflectors, etc.), radomes, feeds, transmission lines (wave guide, coax, stripline, microstrip, fin line, image, dielectric wave guide, surface EM and acoustic waves, etc.) on, in or near the vicinity of metal dielectric, magnetic, and plasma bodies. May also provide analysis of the propagation medium and environment such as scattering, multipaths, propagation loss, etc., and investigate nonlinear interactions of microwave with plasma, and/or other materials as well as the RCS and the characteristic of the operation of the antenna in extreme environments (plasma, high temperature, high wind shear, prolonged exposure to salt air, etc.).

Our work in leading-edge defense systems, engineering, computer science, electronics, finance, logistics, and contract management provides our Sailors and Marines with the capabilities they need to accomplish their mission and return home safely.

NAVAIR’s culture is as rich and diverse as its people. Civilians work side-by-side with military personnel to accomplish the NAVAIR mission.
