Lead Phased Array Antenna Engineer

The role

You will be the team lead and responsible engineer for electronically steered phased array antenna systems. You will define, design, analyze, and validate the phased array system architecture for spaceflight.

What you will do

• Perform trade studies, select and manage vendors, design RF and antenna hardware, perform validation tests, and guide systems through production readiness
• Drive development of system-level requirements for a complex phased array antenna system
• Manage cost and schedule of RF hardware
• Perform trade studies and define RF system architecture
• Collaborate with and provide technical leadership to a multi-disciplinary team
• Establish and manage qualification and acceptance test campaigns for space environments

Required qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a STEM field
• 5+ years of industry experience in RF, microwave, and/or antenna engineering for satellite communications or similar applications
• Strong theoretical and practical understanding of phased array antennas, beamforming, and electronically steered antennas
• Familiarity with the full RF system including digital, baseband, analog RF/microwave components, and radiating elements
• Demonstrated experience collaborating in a multi-disciplinary team
• Experience carrying RF hardware through its product life cycle
• Self-motivated with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills

Nice to have

• Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering
• Experience with design, calibration, and over-the-air measurements of multi-beam phased array antennas or active electronically steered arrays (AESAs)
• Experience with RF test & measurement tools such as vector network analyzers (VNAs), spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and software defined radios (SDRs)
• Experience with the full space hardware product life cycle
• Experience designing and testing hardware for space environments or similar per standards such as SMC-S-016 or MIL-STD-461
• Experience leading cross-functional engineering teams and managing technical projects
• Experience managing subcontractors and suppliers for space hardware
• Familiarity with LEO satellite communications systems and high-throughput payloads
• Familiarity with RF propagation, link budgets, and system-level RF architecture
• Familiarity with RF or millimeter wave analog hardware development at Ku- through V-band frequencies

Before you apply

• Offers will be contingent on the candidate's ability to access export-controlled information under U.S. law
