Lead Engineer, RF & Electrical —Antenna Systems

What you will do:

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.

What you bring to this role:

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.

Bonus Points:

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.
