Software Defined Radio Engineer

The RF and Microwave Systems Group in the Measurement Science and Systems Engineering Division (MSSE) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) seeks to hire a software-defined radio (SDR) engineer for the creation, design, and development of a broad spectrum of SDR systems, i.e., RF and microwave radio systems that are software programmable, in support of ORNL’s Cognitive Radio Program. The candidate will join a team of researchers actively working on SDR and cognitive radio technologies.
• Programming field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and microprocessors;
• Creation, design, prototype, test, and troubleshooting SDR and cognitive radio systems;
• Experience with multi-core processors would be a plus;
• Development of communication waveforms at the physical and data link layers; and
• Work in teams with other BS/MS/Ph.D.-level engineers and physicists. Must possess the potential for a high level of technical and interpersonal skills that will be sought after in Laboratory R&D teams.
• The successful candidate must have an advanced degree (Ph.D. preferred) or M.S. in electrical engineering, or an equivalent combination of education and experience, with an emphasis in SDR and cognitive radio systems, including RF electronics design, RF modeling and simulation tools (MATLAB, SIMULINK, SYSGEN, RHAPSODY, etc.), communication systems (transmitters, receivers, antennas, filters, modulation techniques, etc.) and electromagnetic fields. Knowledge of the following programming languages is desirable: C/C++, VHDL, Fortran, Assembly, Java, Verilog, and UML/SysML. Hands-on experience in developing, prototyping, testing, and troubleshooting communication circuits is also desirable, as is a strong interest in organizing technical teams and developing new projects.
Other factors to be considered include excellent interpersonal skills, teamwork skills, communication skills (written and oral), and organizational skills; and interest and potential for leading technical teams. Candidates should be energetic and a proven experience problem solver. The successful candidate must be capable of obtaining a DOE security clearance, a current DOE or DoD clearance is preferred.

This position will remain open for a minimum of five days after which it will close when a qualified candidate is identified and/or hired.

Please submit your resume, references, and publication list in one file. We only accept Microsoft Word documents. Resumes from third party vendors will not be accepted; these resumes will be deleted and the candidates submitted will not be considered for employment.
