What you'll do
- Design site RF monitoring systems, including sensors, receivers, antennas, baselines, and alerting.
- Build detection, classification, evidence-management, and automation tooling, including agents for alert triage and sensor health.
- Own TSCM sweep cadence, scope, acceptance criteria, and findings closure.
- Set emanations-security requirements for zoning, shielding, filtering, and protected cabling.
- Monitor wireless devices by zone and provide evidence that policies are followed.
- Scope, direct, and review specialist vendor sweep and assessment work.
- Incorporate RF and emanations requirements into site design, leases, and pre-opening reviews.
What we're looking for
- Built an RF monitoring or detection system end to end, from receiver and antenna selection to software alerts.
- Hands-on knowledge of RF propagation, modulation, spectrum analysis, antennas, and measurement instruments.
- Personally planned and conducted TSCM sweeps and understand their limitations and potential adversary bypasses.
- Hands-on RF security, TSCM, or emanations experience in data centers, critical infrastructure, or large hardware fleets.

- Experience assessing compromising emanations and shielding or filtering tradeoffs in a live facility.
- Experience applying formal emanations or counter-surveillance standards such as TEMPEST or ICD 705-style requirements.
- Built large-scale signal classification or spectrum analysis pipelines, or tuned RF detections for security operations.
- Familiarity with drone RF detection and its limitations compared with on-site monitoring.
- Experience in colocation or multi-tenant facilities.
