Lead Engineer, RF & Electrical --Antenna Systems

Lead and grow a multidisciplinary team of antenna/RF design and RF test engineers and technicians. 

Own radiating-element RF design — element geometry, impedance and match, polarization, and bandwidth across a wide operating band. 

Own array layout and dimensioning, and array-level RF performance — gain, pattern, and sensitivity to surface accuracy. 

Own the element-level electrical and electronics design that drives each radiating element. 

Direct the RF test function — element, array, and module characterization; test planning; and acceptance criteria. 

Hold the subsystem's RF and electrical requirements, budgets, and verification, and close them through analysis and test. 

Partner with adjacent communications, avionics, mechanical/structures, and integration & test teams across the program. 

Support environmental and deployment testing of the integrated antenna. 

BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related field. 

Lead- or Staff-level antenna/RF engineer with phased-array hardware experience (element and array design). 

Experience with RF front-end or module-level electronics. 

Demonstrated RF test leadership — characterization, test planning, and acceptance. 

Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams. 

Wideband VHF/UHF antenna experience (spiral or comparable broadband elements). 

Space or flight RF hardware experience, including environmental qualification (thermal-vacuum, vibration, radiation, EMC). 

Experience with space structures. 

Experience supporting integration and test of flight hardware.
