Join us and be part of the team exploring evolutionary and revolutionary electronic device development with potential for high frequency microwave/millimeter wave and high-speed electronics applications!

Key Responsibilities:

Literature Research: Conduct literature research related to radio frequency (RF) localization to include multipath phenomenology both with and without direct line of site (LoS) between the emitter and receiver.

Formulate novel approaches/hypotheses: Formulate novel approaches and hypotheses to localize RF emitters in complex multipath environments.

Experiment Design: Design experimental procedures to test RF localization hypotheses in simulation and physical environments.

Execute experiments: Execute physical RF experimentation at AFRL (or other appropriately equipped facilities) and collect the associated data.

Analyze data: Analyze the experimental data regarding the proposed hypotheses.

Refine hypotheses: Refine hypotheses according to analyses.

Generate/publish articles: Generate and publish scholarly articles e.g., conference papers or journal articles.

Work Environment:

Location: On-site at AFRL on Wright-Patterson AFB, OH

Travel Requirements: Minimal 0-20%

Working Hours: Standard
