NSA Radio Frequency Development Program Info Session, 9/10
Join NSA Info Session: In today's information age the communications of our adversaries are constantly growing, changing and becoming more complex. The SIGINT mission must keep pace with advances in the high speed, multi-functional technologies of foreign communications in order to guard against possible harm to our Nation and stay one step ahead of any potential threat. From short wave radio communications to sophisticated satellite transmissions, communications in the Radio Frequency (RF) crowd the airwaves and NSA’s goal is to intercept those signals and collect the ones most likely to produce timely and valuable intelligence.
It takes sophisticated technology and brainpower to account for the ever-increasing volume, the velocity and variety of today’s signals, and get the results that our military commanders and national policy-makers need. NSA is responsible for designing, developing, building, and deploying multiple tactical and large sustained systems, as well as building the underlying framework to run systems for data collection and processing. We bring together high-tech engineers, cutting edge developers, and top notch managers to meet the challenges in our environment.
The Radio Frequency Development Program (RFDP) is an exciting three year program for junior RF Engineers. Its purpose is to produce a cadre of RF specialists with the core skills necessary to help NSA maintain and advance our RF collection capabilities. RFDP participants can experience the full spectrum of RF disciplines but are also afforded the opportunity for deep specialization in a particular area.
- Three year program covering a broad area of RF Engineering. Tours will be approximately nine months and could include: end-to-end system design, coding and development, operations, and possible deployment opportunities.
- Flexible program allowing for specialization in specific RF disciplines if an individual is interested.
- Each candidate will benefit from personalized planning to include program and tour mentors and oversight by a Senior steering group.
Qualifications: A minimum of a Bachelors Degree in one of the following
- Electrical Engineering
- Electronic Engineering Technology
- Communications Engineering
- Physics
- Computer Engineering
- Computer Science
- Mathematics
