# Electrical Engineer - Atmospheric Observation

Overview What if the humidity of the atmosphere could be measured just by watching how a radio signal bends? As FWI's MLOS Development Engineer supporting NSSL's Microwave Line-of-Sight (MLOS) proof-of-concept program, you'll help answer that question. You will advance a system built to demonstrate whether RF transmissions - and the phase shifts within them - can be reliably used to retrieve relative humidity estimates, working hands-on with electronic circuits, RF signal measurement, and enclosure design in Norman, Oklahoma. This is applied research at the hardware level: real circuits, real signals, real atmospheric physics, with the goal of turning a promising concept into a validated measurement technique. FWI is expanding rapidly and has been recognized as a 2024, 2025 and 2026 Top Workplace, offering excellent growth opportunities in a collaborative environment. Work Schedule and Location: Hybrid: This full-time hybrid position will work Monday through Friday, 8 AM CST to 5 PM CST, with 90% at National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL), National Weather Center, Norman, Oklahoma, or designated field deployment locations. Responsibilities Continue development of the MLOS proof-of
