Commitment: Full-Time

Workplace Type: onsite

Salary:

What you’ll be doing:

• Develop RF requirements and budgets for gain, noise, dynamic range, linearity, phase, timing, spurious response, and interference. 

• Model and analyze antenna-to-digitizer and transmit/receive signal-chain performance. 

• Define calibration, monitoring, built-in test, and fault-isolation approaches. 

• Coordinate with array hardware, FPGA, embedded, signal processing, mechanical, power, thermal, and test teams. 

• Support component selection, supplier reviews, lab characterization, design reviews, and anomaly resolution. 

What you bring to this role:

• Bachelor's or advanced degree in electrical engineering and 6+ years of RF/microwave system engineering. 

• Experience with RF budgets, phased arrays, receivers/transmitters, converters, calibration, and laboratory measurements.
