About Us: 

eSimplicity is modern digital services company that work across government, partnering with our clients to improve the lives and ensure the security of all Americans—from soldiers and veteran to kids and the elderly, and defend national interests on the battlefield. Our engineers, designers and strategist cut through complexity to create intuitive products and services that equip Federal agencies with solutions to courageously transform today for a better tomorrow for all Americans. 

Responsibilities: 

• Develop, review, and execute RF equipment test plans, particularly pertaining to measuring susceptibility of RF systems to external sources of interference. 
• Apply principles of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism to create solutions that meet specific technical needs. 
• Apply electromagnetic/RF/radar theories to review and critique RF characteristics and its performance and interactions with other RF equipment (e.g., filter, antenna, BER, S/N, I/N, S/I+N) 
• Demonstrate the ability to master spectrum engineering/analysis tools to evaluate the potential for interference between DoD and other federal RF systems as well as with commercial wireless networks 
• Write scripts to automate post processing associated with RF measurements and the execution of spectrum engineering/analysis tools 
• Perform RF link budget analyses (e.g., applying RF characteristics and appropriate propagation model) to assess RF performance and defend results to key stakeholders.  
• Apply RF/radar theories to review the equipment specifications (e.g., transmitter, receiver, antenna) of any RF/radar equipment against DoD/NTIA/ITU RF/radar standards.  Be able to apply RF engineering principles to justify and defend as how the RF equipment performs and its compliance/non-compliances to RF standards.  If the equipment does not meet the communication standards, work with the vendors/program office/designer to recommend how the equipment can be changed to meet DoD/NTIA/ITU standards. 
• Follow DoD and NTIA procedures to ensure that equipment meets DoD/national RF standards. 
• Be able to work in a dynamic team environment and mentor junior engineers on RF 

Required Qualifications: 

• Strong technical background in the Radio Frequency (RF) knowledge, RF equipment certification compliance to NTIA standard, radar, RF design components (e.g., transmitter, receiver, antenna, filter), link budget, commercial wireless 5G/6G,  RF modeling and simulation, experiences withing with various federal agencies (e.g., NTIA, FCC, DoD, FAA, DoT) 
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering or another similar technical discipline 
• 3 - 10 years of experience  
• Familiarity with office365, windows, and other commonly used engineering software. 
• Familiarity with open-source development environments such as Python or the equivalent 
• Familiarity with DISA’s End-to-End Supportability System (E2ESS), and Spectrum XXI 
• Familiarity with the Equipment Location-Certification Information Database (EL-CID) and ELCID Online 
• Secret Clearance or US Citizenship with the ability to obtain and maintain a Secret Clearance 

Desired Qualifications: 

• Professional Engineer (PE) license
