Job tips for Baltimore and Suburbs - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts.

Anybody know of/working at any companies around Baltimore that need EE/RF engineers (hardware or system engineering oriented)?

My existing company (satellite/communications equipment and services) doesn't have the number of interesting projects anymore that it used to have and they are changing the future direction of the company in a way that does not fit with my goals.

Citizenship not a problem, my clearance from several years ago surely has expired by now, though.

Have you checked with Northrop (formerly Westinghouse)?

There's also Airinc down in Annapolis.

Good ideas RFEE. Anybody else have any thoughts? Especially for smaller, more exciting companies that may not advertise on the usual job boards.

Let's see...you live in Baltimore and you're asking about exciting companies that do EE/RF work. Try Northrop Grumman ES or any of the eight billion other government contractors in the area. Do you have at least a four year degree? Try Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab(Laurel)....An excellent place to work with quite a few 'exciting' customers. Try the federal gov't if you're so inclined(NSA). You're in a great area for that sort of work. Are you cleared? Try Windermere (Annapolis/Columbia/various other locations). Good luck.

Colonel,

Take a look at Alion Science and Technology...Their a good solid company with loads of RF work. A BSEE or MSEE is a big plus and they are a key player in the DoD arena.

Actually, I heard that Alion lost the contract they held and that ITT has taken/will take over. This was a few months ago, I don't know whether ITT will take over the same location in Annapolis or not.

Anybody got any tips on any smaller companies? I know about every company that has already been mentioned. In fact, I used to work at one of them (and I probably would not go back).

Most of them will be on my hit list when I start sending out resumes very soon. Just trying to get any information on any company that doesn't advertise frequently on the job boards. I don't want to miss any good opportunities that might be more rewarding than working at the big contracting companies.
