Sr. Antenna Production Engineer

The role

This person will transition proprietary antenna technology into manufacturable MESA radar hardware. The role focuses on antenna industrialization through integration, validation, and production readiness.

What you will do

• Support antenna production for MESA radar antenna hardware
• Work with RF engineers on array antenna/RF chain integration, impedance matching, calibration impact, and radar-level performance
• Collaborate with PCB Engineering, suppliers, and manufacturing on antenna-aware stack-up, layout, materials, fabrication, assembly, packaging, and test readiness
• Support antenna DFM/DFT, tolerance analysis, manufacturability reviews, and validation using VNA, chamber/range, and OTA test methods
• Correlate simulation and measured data to assess design risks, improvement areas, implementation options, and cost/performance tradeoffs

Required qualifications

• Experience with phased-array radar, SATCOM, RF/microwave wireless systems, RF sensor networks, or active antenna arrays
• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Electromagnetics, RF/Microwave Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of experience or more in antenna, RF, radar, wireless hardware, phased-array, or microwave system development
• Understanding of antenna fundamentals, including radiation patterns, gain, efficiency, polarization, impedance matching, coupling, and array behavior
• Hands-on experience with RF or antenna measurement equipment such as VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, chamber/range, or OTA test setup
• Familiarity with EM simulation tools such as HFSS, CST, FEKO, ADS, or equivalent
• Practical understanding of PCB stackups, RF materials, feed routing, vias, transitions, grounding, and shielding and the manufacturability implications of each
• Ability to work cross-functionally with RF, EM, PCB, component, mechanical, manufacturing, and test teams

Nice to have

• Experience transitioning antenna or RF designs from prototype toward product hardware
• Exposure to Antenna-in-Package, antenna-on-package, high frequency substrates, interposers, or advanced RF packaging
• Understanding of RFIC/package parasitics and package-to-antenna interactions
• Experience with active component placement near antenna structures
• Python, MATLAB, or similar scripting experience for data analysis, measurement automation, or simulation post-processing
• Experience with RF subsystem, Antenna-in-Package, advanced packaging, or RFIC-related development

Benefits

• RSU (Restricted Stock Units)
• Fully-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance premiums
• Choice of PPO or HDHP/HSA
• Virtual Care – 98Point6
• Employee Assistance Program
• Mental Health coverage through Springhealth & Talkspace (Premera)
• Travel Assistance Insurance
• Company Paid Life Insurance
• Company Paid Short & Long Term Disability
• Flexible PTO (exempt) / 15 days per year (non-exempt)
• 401(k) match
• Pet Insurance

Before you apply

• Must evaluate eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain Government authorizations
• Will ask to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S.
