Position Summary:

KBR is seeking an exceptionally experienced Technical Fellow- or SME-level Electronic Warfare Engineering professional to support a U.S. Government program office responsible for a portfolio of advanced long-range weapon systems. This position will provide technical counsel across electronic warfare, electronic protection, electronic attack, electromagnetic-spectrum operations, system survivability, and mission effectiveness. The ideal candidate is a recognized expert who can translate highly complex engineering concepts into clear, decision-relevant information for senior Government leaders while also engaging at full technical depth with Government and industry engineers.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as a trusted senior technical advisor to Government program leadership on electronic warfare, electronic protection, electronic attack, electromagnetic-spectrum operations, survivability, and mission effectiveness across the long-range systems portfolio.
• Communicate highly complex electronic warfare concepts, technical risks, tradeoffs, and test results to senior leaders and other Government personnel in clear, concise, mission-focused terms that enable informed acquisition and program decisions.
• Engage directly with Government and industry engineers at the detailed technical level to examine architectures, requirements, algorithms, interfaces, models, test approaches, anomalies, and proposed solutions; challenge assumptions and drive technically sound resolution of complex issues.
• Evaluate contractor electronic warfare concepts, architectures, designs, development plans, technical baselines, performance claims, risk-reduction activities, maturation strategies, and integration approaches for long-range weapon systems.
• Assess electronic protection capabilities that enable weapon-system operation in contested and denied electromagnetic environments, including anti-jam performance, interference mitigation, frequency agility, signal authentication, resilience to deception, and protection of navigation, communications, datalinks, seekers, and other mission-critical functions.
• Assess electronic attack capabilities, techniques, and integration approaches, including stand-in or collaborative effects, onboard and offboard coordination, waveform and technique development, targeting and engagement logic, electromagnetic compatibility, and operational employment considerations.
• Evaluate electronic warfare requirements, threat representations, mission scenarios, measures of effectiveness, technical performance measures, specifications, interface definitions, verification methods, and requirements traceability.
• Analyze threat radar, communications, datalink, navigation-warfare, and other electromagnetic-system characteristics; assess implications for weapon survivability, penetration, targeting, terminal effectiveness, and mission success.
• Evaluate integration of electronic warfare capabilities with seekers, guidance and navigation, mission computers, datalinks, antennas, apertures, power and thermal systems, software, flight controls, platforms, offboard sensors, and collaborative weapon architectures.
• Assess modeling and simulation, digital engineering, laboratory, software- and hardware-in-the-loop, installed-system, captive-carry, open-air range, flight-test, and live-fire approaches used to verify electronic warfare performance and mission effectiveness.
• Analyze test data, anomalies, failure investigations, root-cause assessments, corrective actions, and technical trade studies; identify implications for performance, survivability, safety, cost, schedule, integration, production, and fielding risk.
• Lead or support technical reviews, design reviews, test r
