Architect and lead the testing of advanced phased-array antenna systems supporting mission-critical, high-reliability space-based communications
Drive antenna validation strategy and execution from early concept development through environmental and final qualifications
Plan, write, and execute test plans and procedures for phased array antennas and RF subsystems
Work closely with antenna and mechanical designers to transform their designs into hardware
Fabricate and assemble antenna components and subsystems according to engineering drawings and RF specifications
Lead prototype fabrication, assembly, and antenna testing (near-field, far-field, and environmental testing)
Support the entire hardware lifecycle, guiding the fabrication, characterization, and environmental qualification (e.g., thermal-vac, vibration, radiation) of antenna systems
Document designs, analyses, and test results in technical reports and reviews.

Requirements

B.S. in Electrical Engineering with 5+ years of experience in RF antenna testing or M.S. in Electrical Engineering or a related field with 3+ years of experience in RF antenna testing
Solid understanding of electromagnetic theory and its application to antenna design, particularly phased arrays
Familiarity with environmental and qualification testing for space or high-reliability applications (thermal vacuum, vibration, EMI/EMC)
Proven experience supporting the design and development of antennas and associated hardware
