George Eichinger

George Eichinger is an assistant leader of the Advanced Sensor Systems and Test Beds Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. He is an expert in airborne radio-frequency systems, flight-test planning and execution, electronic warfare data analysis, and aircraft recapitalization.

Eichinger joined Lincoln Laboratory in 2007 as assistant staff member in the Tactical Defense Systems Group, where he worked on several important Air Force Red Team programs. Following his promotion to associate staff in 2012, he served as the hardware and embedded software lead on an electronic warfare test system for the group's Airborne Countermeasures Test System. The testing performed under his leadership led to electronic protection improvements on several U.S. defense systems. In 2016, Eichinger was promoted to technical staff. He was the system architect for the Airborne Seeker Test Bed (ASTB) and program manager for the ASTB (renamed the Airborne Sensor Test Bed) recapitalization effort. He also played a key role in the modernization of another Air Force Red Team test aircraft, collaborating with the Advanced Sensor Systems and Test Beds Group to integrate an important U.S. Navy sensing capability onto that aircraft.

Eichinger received a BS degree in electrical engineering from Virginia Tech and an MS degree in electrical and computer engineering from Northeastern University.
