Enterprise SATCOM Engineer (Job Number:xxxx78)
Description:
SAIC is looking for an Enterprise SATCOM Engineer to perform technical evaluations, develop technical reports and develop test plans for current and potential issues with military satellite communications and commercial satellite systems, subsystems and equipment, as they relate to DoD Enterprise Satellite Communications (SATCOM) Gateway Facilities. A Gateway Facility is defined as a communications facility that provides access to the Department of Defense Information Network (DoDIN) via satellite. Satellite transmission systems include:
- Military satellite systems include the Defense Satellite Communications System (DSCS), Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS), Ka: Band Satellite Transmit and Receive System (KaSTARS), and the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS).
: Commercial satellite systems can include the C:, Ku or Ka:bands.
: Ultra High Frequency (UHF), Extremely High Frequency (EHF), and Advanced EHF (AEHF) in military and commercial bands Security Clearance: US Citizen with a Secret clearance and ability to obtain a TS:SCI security clearance within 4 months of hire. Travel: 10:15 both CONUS and OCONUS Required
Qualifications:
EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE:
Bachelor of Science degree in electrical, computer, or electronics engineering (or closely related curriculum) from an ABET accredited institution
Minimum of 10 years of overall engineering including experience in IF/RF Systems and a basic understanding of digital baseband and facility AC systems: o Radio Frequency (RF) System. ? Modulation and demodulation of digital signals for transmission over satellite communication systems. Waveform types include: M:ARY phase shift keying, and forward error correction coding (Turbo, convolutional and Reed Solomon). Apply Modem manufacturer specifications to system designs. Evaluate transmission error rate performance under channel conditions characterized by: noise (AWGN and noise:bursts), signal fading, amplitude and phase distortion. ? RF Transmission Systems. Design and evaluate RF communication systems. Design efforts include the identification and configuration of transmit and receive equipment strings including: IF signal combining and dividing, switching, amplification, frequency conversion, band:stop and band:pass filters, high power amplifier transmitter and low noise amplifier receiver, circular and rectangular waveguide components, parabolic antennas and antenna feed components. Perform cascade analysis of equipment and equipment strings to predict signal, noise and distortion levels at various points in the signal path, identify device and system linear dynamic range and input damage levels. ? RF Testing. Familiar with S21 measurements of 2:port networks. Capable of designing and implementing tests to measure device and system: insertion loss, gain, VSWR, isolation, noise and noise:figure, 2nd and 3rd order intermodulation distortions. Familiar with the operation of signal generators, power meters, spectrum and signal analyzers, scalar and network analyzers, and noise sources. ? Perform link budget calculations. Calculate effective isotropic radiated power based on antenna feed power and antenna gain, calculate propagation loss due to spreading and incident flux density at the receive antenna, calculate receive system gain/temperature. ? Provide a sample of your engineering notebook which demonstrates work on RF systems. ? Ability to work cooperatively in a team environment and to work under pressure. o Facility AC Power Systems. ? Basic understanding of facility AC power systems. Capable of calculating and measuring single and three:phase voltage, amperage, Watts and Volt:Amps, power factor, voltage and current harmonic distortion. Understanding of safety and signal grounding techniques and lightning protection systems o Digital Baseband Systems ? Basic understanding of synchronous serial system components (time division mu
