Description The electrical engineer will work in the dynamic system engineering team in support of Department of Defense (DoD). This engineer is responsible for applying radio frequency (RF)/radar theories, applicable DoD guidance and NTIA manual, to review and critique the DoD RF/Radar equipment on its transmitter, receiver, and antenna characteristics. If the RF specifications are not complying, the engineer is to justify why the RF equipment not complying and provide recommendations to the program offices/designer to bring the equipment to comply with the DoD/NTIA/ITU RF/radar standards. Review the technical characteristics of proposed Navy C-E equipment developments to determine the character and strength of emission in the radio spectrum and to determine compliance with Department of Defense, National, and International frequency allocation regulations. Perform an engineering analysis and assessment of the accuracy of the equipment technical data using as a basis the fundamental principles of radar and communications theory. Acquire complete and accurate information regarding the technical characteristics and operational deployment of Navy electronic equipment developments requiring frequency allocation support.
Determine the compliance of the proposed equipment design with appropriate military standards, International Radio Regulations, and Office of Telecommunications Policy (OTP) criteria for electromagnetic interference (EMI) control.
Determine the susceptibility of the proposed development to harmful radio interference and assess the extent of EMI effects to existing electromagnetic systems operating within the same operational environment. Provide recommendations when necessary for conducting spectrum signature measurements and/or detailed interference studies on the proposed equipment development and monitor the progress of such efforts. Attends meetings with representatives of U.S. Military Services and with representatives of industrial organizations and other Government agencies in the resolution of problems associated with the duties outlined above.
Attends and provides input at military and national subcommittees/Ad Hoc working groups dealing with spectrum allocation and planning, the establishment of technical standards and criteria for EMI control and the resolution of specific EMI problems of a national nature.
Prepare position papers on Navy frequency allocation applications for shipborne, airborne, and shore-based C-E equipment utilizing the results obtained from the above analysis efforts.
Analyze position papers requesting frequency allocation submitted by Army, Air Force, and Coast Guard and present Navy comments on these requests at the military working group meetings.
Compose letters, messages, and memoranda to Naval Commands, other U.S. Government and non-Government Agencies, and Foreign Administrations in the telecommunications field on matters relative to the discharge of the duties enumerated above.
