You will also leverage advanced instrumentation, such as propagation emulators and wavefront simulators, exercising and validating our prototypes in realistic environments, prior to fielding. Draper has a long track record of investing in the capital equipment used by our RF Group, to enable the most compelling and innovative program offerings. As a leader in the RF organization your advice will be sought for business development, IR&D strategy, hiring strategy and execution, and university engagements.

Typical candidates have ten years of relevant experience beyond the doctorate, or 15 years of relevant experience post masters degree.
