About this role

As a NAVWAR Analyst (RF Data Analyst) supporting the Joint
Navigation Warfare Center (JNWC), you will contribute to enhancing the
Department of Defense's understanding of Positioning, Navigation, and Timing
(PNT) vulnerabilities and threats. Located at Kirtland Air Force Base, New
Mexico — the DoD's Center of Excellence for Navigation Warfare (NAVWAR) and PNT
capabilities integration — you will develop critical NAVWAR insights that
support operational readiness and strategic decision-making across multiple defense
agencies and coalition partners.

You will leverage advanced analysis software to process and
interpret RF data collected from field events and military exercises, providing
actionable insights. Your work will directly impact joint planning, Operation
Plan (OPLAN) analysis, and the execution of NAVWAR operations across all
domains. You will collaborate with engineering teams to gather analysis and
data requirements during the planning phase, develop test plans to characterize
and assess navigation hardware performance, and handle requests to identify
potential RF interference that could impact space launches — ensuring thorough
analysis and timely resolution.
