Senior EW/AEA Analyst (DNP0[0526])

Description Air Combat Effectiveness is seeking a highly experienced Senior Electronic Warfare / Airborne Electronic Attack (EW/AEA) Analyst to support mission engineering, capability development, and Science & Technology (S&T) efforts for the U.S. Navy. The ideal candidate brings deep operational AEA/EW experience, strong familiarity with Navy and Joint doctrine and policy, and the ability to translate operational needs into analytical insights and technical recommendations. This role also supports cognitive EW–related research and studies, helping advance emerging technologies and next-generation electromagnetic spectrum capabilities. This is a hybrid position, combining remote work with required on-site support for classified meetings, team collaboration, customer engagement, and coordination with government and industry partners. Key Responsibilities • Provide subject-matter expertise in Airborne Electronic Attack (AEA), Electronic Warfare planning, and electromagnetic spectrum operations. • Support mission engineering activities, including system performance analysis, mission thread development, CONOPS evaluation, and capability gap identification. • Contribute to cognitive EW research and studies, including emerging concepts, adaptive EW approaches, and technology exploration in support of Navy S&T priorities. • Advise and participate in Science & Technology (S&T) initiatives, including requirements development, technology evaluation, risk assessments, and transition planning for emerging EW/AEA capabilities. • Conduct operational assessments, scenario analysis, and mission modeling to evaluate system effectiveness across contested and dynamic electromagnetic environments. • Interpret and apply U.S. Navy and Joint EW/EMS policy, doctrine, and acquisition guidance to capability development and analysis tasks. • Prepare and present technical reports, analysis products, and briefings for senior leadership, program offices, and fleet stakeholders. • Collaborate across engineering teams, operators, researchers, and program managers to ensure alignment between operational needs and technical development efforts. • Participate in fleet-support activities such as exercises, wargaming, technical exchanges, and requirements reviews. Requirements support activities such as exercises, wargaming, technical exchanges, and requirements reviews. Required Qualifications • Extensive operational AEA/EW experience, preferably within U.S. Navy aviation (e.g., EA-18G, EA-6B, or other tactical aviation EW roles). • Strong working knowledge of U.S. Navy and Joint EW/EMS policy, doctrine, and TTPs. • Demonstrated experience with mission engineering, operational analysis, or system-of-systems environments. • Familiarity with S&T development workflows, technology maturation, and transition pathways. • Ability to communicate complex EW/AEA and electromagnetic spectrum concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences. • U.S. citizenship and ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance (as applicable). Desired Qualifications • Experience supporting cognitive EW, adaptive algorithms, data-driven analysis, or related research areas. • Experience with acquisition programs, requirements development, or JCIDS processes. • Background in wargaming, modeling & simulation, threat analysis, or test & evaluation. • Prior collaboration with Navy labs, OPNAV, ONR, NAVAIR, or Joint EW organizations. • Advanced degree in engineering, physics, operations research, or related technical field.
