About the role

Mclaurin Aerospace at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston is seeking a Spectrum Communications Team Lead to oversee RF spectrum management, link budgets, interference analysis, and coordination with NASA centers and government agencies. You will lead engineers, plan tasks, and ensure high-quality analyses using Matlab/Simulink and STK. Preferred candidates bring experience with NTIA processes, C/C++, Python, and a strong RF/space communications background, plus U.S.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
