RF Simulation SW Engineer

Auria is looking to hire a Software or Systems Engineer to support the FSDS program. Federal Spectrum Data System (FSDS) modernizes the NTIA's spectrum management functions by eliminating or drastically reducing the required manual intervention to execute necessary tasks. The new system will manage a large amount of spectrum-dependent data, analytic engineering analyses & tools, spectrum management processes and workflows, and AI enhancements of all of the above. The solution requires data integration across multiple diverse sources, several of which exist outside of the scope of FSDS and therefore require novel solutions to ensure secure, efficient, and effective data exchange. This modernization efforts will require advanced understanding spectrum management, RF modeling, and some legacy spectrum-related systems, processes, and workflows. This will represent a large effort to overcome the problems the NTIA currently faces with disconnected and incomplete siloed tools and systems by creating a massive spectrum management system that manages federal spectrum resources, demands, and needs in a world with increasingly advanced and complex systems operating in a similarly complex and congested spectral environment.
