Security Engineer, RF and Technical Surveillance Countermeasures

About the role

You will be the engineer who owns the domain of on-site RF monitoring and detection, technical surveillance countermeasures (TSCM), and emanations security end to end. You will work with the rest of DCSE, including its physical security systems engineers and the engineers on its security monitoring platform, with Anthropic's data center operations, construction and legal teams, and directly with site operators and landlords.

Key responsibilities

• Design and develop on-site RF monitoring and detection systems
• Build detection and classification tooling, instruments, and software for checks between sweeps
• Own TSCM end to end, including sweep cadence, event-driven triggers, scope, and acceptance criteria
• Set the posture for sites, including assessment methods, zoning, and separation
• Detect which radios are present where and produce evidence that the policy holds
• Write the scope and deliverable standard for sweep and assessment work, direct it on site, and decide whether a report stands
• Carry RF and emanations requirements into design reviews, lease terms, and pre-opening reviews

Minimum qualifications

• Have built at least one RF monitoring or detection system end to end
• Understand RF at the engineering level, including propagation, modulation, and spectrum analysis
• Have planned and conducted TSCM sweeps and can explain what a sweep can and cannot find
• Have done RF security, TSCM, or emanations work hands-on for data centers or critical infrastructure
• Read and review code, design data systems, and build automation using Git and code review
• Understand compromising emanations and write requirements for zoning, shielding, and filtering
• Direct a specialist vendor, write the scope, check the work, and reject a weak report

Preferred qualifications

• Experience assessing compromising emanations and shielding or filtering tradeoffs
• Have built signal classification or spectrum analysis pipelines at scale
• Familiarity with airspace or drone RF detection
• Experience at sites you did not fully control
• Have built AI agents or automation that replaced recurring manual security work
