Partner with Product Development & Assurance and Program Management to develop Statements of Work, requirements, technical deliverables, assumptions, development plans, and Make/Buy strategies that accurately reflect the proposed solution. Transition solutions into execution. Serve as the technical bridge from pursuit to execution, ensuring engineering teams understand the architecture, requirements, key trades, risks, customer commitments, and technical rationale behind the solution. Provide technical leadership. Guide multidisciplinary engineering teams across RF, antenna, digital, FPGA, software, mechanical, systems, integration, and test disciplines without needing to be the subject matter expert in every domain. Represent the technical solution with customers. Communicate complex architectures, technical decisions, performance trades, and risks clearly to customer technical leaders, internal executives, and engineering teams. JOB REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Physics, or a related technical discipline. 15+ years of experience developing complex communication systems, products, or payloads, with demonstrated progression into system architecture or technical leadership roles. Demonstrated deep technical expertise in at least one communications domain, such as: Communication theory, signal processing, waveforms, or modem design RF and microwave systems and electronics Antennas, phased arrays, and beamforming High-speed digital, FPGA, DSP, or digital communications architectures Embedded, networking, or communications software Demonstrated experience architecting or technically leading multidisciplinary systems beyond the candidate's primary area of expertise. Experience translating customer or mission objectives into system architectures, technical requirements, and executable engineering solutions. Demonstrated experience leading customer-facing technical discussions, design reviews, proposals, or new-business pursuits. PREFERRED EXPERIENCE Experience with space, airborne, defense, or other high-reliability communication systems is preferred, particularly involving satellite communications, phased arrays, software-defined radios, digital beamforming, advanced waveforms, or integrated communication payloads. Experience taking architectures beyond concept development into detailed design, integration, verification, qualification, and deployment is highly valued. The strongest candidates will combine recognized depth in a technical specialty with demonstrated ability to operate above that specialty as an end-to-end system architect and technical leader.
