About the role
- At the end of three years, hundreds to thousands of your reflector antennas will be flying in and operating in space.
Responsibilities
- Cradle-to-grave ownership of space hardware: perform trade studies, select and manage vendors, design RF and antenna hardware, perform validation tests, and guide your system through production readiness
- Drive development of system-level requirements for mechanically gimbaled reflector antenna systems
- Manage cost and schedule of RF hardware
- Manage vendors and partners, including domestic and international travel as necessary
- Perform trade studies and define RF system architecture
- Collaborate with, provide technical leadership, and guide a multi-disciplinary team including antenna, RF, mechanical, thermal, electrical, power, digital, modem, manufacturing, test, and supply chain engineers
- Establish and manage qualification and acceptance test campaigns for space environments (vibration, thermal, TVAC, radiation) per standards such as MIL-STD-461 and SMC-S-016
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or a STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math)
- 5+ years of industry experience in RF, microwave, and/or antenna engineering for satellite communications or similar applications
- Familiarity with the full RF system including: digital, baseband, analog RF/microwave components (amplifiers, mixers, filters, oscillators, etc.), feed antennas, and reflectors
Nice to have
- Master's or PhD in Electrical Engineering
- Experience with design and over-the-air measurement of mechanically steered high gain antennas
- Experience with orthomode transducers (OMTs), diplexers, polarizers, feed antennas, traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs), and other waveguide components
- Experience with high frequency approximation computational electromagnetics tools such as TICRA GRASP
- Experience with RF test & measurement tools such as vector network analyzers (VNAs), spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and software defined radios (SDRs)
- Experience designing and testing hardware for space environments or similar per standards such as SMC-S-016 or MIL-STD-461, including considerations for thermal management, vibration, radiation effects, and reliability
- Experience leading cross-functional engineering teams and managing technical projects
- Experience managing subcontractors and suppliers for space hardware
Skills
- Speed and reliability are the foundation of the system.
Compensation
- This policy applies with regard to all aspects of one's employment, including hiring, transfer, promotion, compensation, eligibility for benefits, and termination.
