Senior RF Engineer

The role

You will design, build, and test active electronically scanned arrays (AESAs) for radar applications. You will work on RF architectures, hardware bring-up, field testing, and initial production.

What you will do

• Own the RF design of analog beamforming AESA subsystems.
• Conduct trade studies, RF simulations, and prototyping.
• Lead design reviews and make architecture trade decisions.
• Work across antenna, digital, mechanical, and systems engineering.
• Lead RF characterization of AESA hardware.
• Own the troubleshooting process for hardware.
• Mentor junior RF engineers on phased array fundamentals and design discipline.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's in electrical engineering, electronics engineering, computer engineering or related field.
• 8+ years of professional experience in developing RF electronics, phased arrays, antennas or related radar electronics.
• Experience leading the designs of active phased arrays using beamforming technologies from concept to production in a defense or aerospace environment.
• Deep understanding of electronic systems engineering, including design specification, part selection, and test planning for RF systems.
• Proven ability to lead technical initiatives, solve complex problems, and implement innovative solutions.
• Strong knowledge of PCB design (schematic capture, specifying and reviewing layout).
• Experience in tools like Altium.
• Proficiency in RF design and analysis tools such as Ansys HFSS, Keysight ADS, or comparable tools.
• Expertise with RF measurement equipment, including Network Analyzers, Signal Analyzers, and Near Field Scanners.
• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, C++, or similar.
• Demonstrated experience working across multidisciplinary teams in fast-paced environments.
• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.

Nice to have

• Master's in RF/Microwave Engineering.
• Knowledge of antenna array simulation, design, and manufacturing.
• Experience leading PCB designs for high-frequency RF and high-density interconnect routing.
• Working knowledge of microvias, multiple sub-laminations, and driving stack-up decisions.
• Experience calibrating wideband phased arrays across frequency and temperature.

Benefits

• Comprehensive, competitive benefits package available at little to no cost to employees.

Before you apply

• Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance.
• Provide transcripts as part of the early application process.
