Overview In this role, you contribute to the Signature Management & Survivability Team within Skunk Works, maturing low observable technologies and leading experiments in modeling, simulation, and testing. You will work across small teams and engage with government forums to advise on LO signature, EM/CEM concepts, and RCS concerns. The role involves planning measurements, developing prediction tools, and communicating results to customers and leadership. You will craft R&D plans and collaborate with multidisciplinary design teams to solve survivability challenges. A strong communicator and problem-solver, you will help shape advanced aircraft concepts at the frontier of LO technology.
