As an electrical engineer, you understand the workings behind complex systems. That knowledge is key when it comes to testing Radio Frequency (RF) and other communication devices that need to be protected from cyber attacks. We’re looking for an electrical engineer who can use their skills to help our client test and secure these devices from cyber threats by identifying attack vectors and using their RF experience to create test plans to ensure system functionality and security.
At Booz Allen, you’ll use your engineering skills to transform the cybersecurity landscape. Our team tests and deploys cybersecurity solutions to protect against all types of attacks, including those that exploit RF vulnerabilities. That’s why we need you, an electrical engineer with a solid background in RF engineering and radio technology, as well as knowledge of cyber attacks and vulnerabilities, to help us design and develop cyber solutions and test plans while working with common RF equipment such as spectrum and network analyzers, anechoic chambers, and MIL-STD-1553.
On our team, you’ll design and perform analysis on various radio and encryption devices, with a cybersecurity lens. You’ll directly impact the Navy’s cyber and communication capabilities by ensuring secure data transmission over-the-air. We’ll look to you to share your electrical engineering expertise through leadership and mentoring junior staff. This is a chance to use your experience-based knowledge in RF engineering while broadening your skillset into areas like cybersecurity and software assurance.
Take on exciting challenges in cybersecurity with us as we support the Navy in protecting warfighter data.
