RF Spatial Engineer

RF Spatial Engineer

About the Role:
As an RF Engineer, you will help architect, design, and validate the advanced RF and microwave
subsystems that enable mission-critical communications across aerospace, defense, and satellite markets.
You'll own the entire development lifecycle—from concept, simulation, and circuit design to integration,
verification, and production support—ensuring that every subsystem meets the rigorous performance,
reliability, and environmental standards our customers demand.
Working closely with cross-functional engineering, manufacturing, test, and quality teams, you'll turn
innovative concepts into robust, scalable, production-ready hardware. Your work will directly influence the
performance, manufacturability, and long-term reliability of high-power, high-frequency systems deployed in
some of the world's most challenging environments.

What You'll Do
Design innovative quasi-optical and spatial power-combining architectures.
Perform electromagnetic, RF, and microwave simulations using industry tools (ADS, AWR, HFSS, CST)
and translate results into optimized hardware designs.
Architect and simulate RF/microwave circuits and subsystems—including power amplifiers, converters,
synthesizers, filters, mixers, and T/R modules—to meet system-level requirements.
Specify, source, and evaluate RF components (transistors, mixers, switches, passives) for use in highpower,
high-reliability applications.
Develop detailed test plans, configure measurement systems (VNAs, spectrum analyzers, signal
generators, power meters), and characterize prototype hardware for gain, efficiency, power, noise
figure, linearity, stability, and thermal behavior.
Prepare documentation including design reports, test results, root-cause analyses, failure reports, and
manufacturing support materials.
Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, thermal, manufacturing, and quality engineering teams
to ensure designs are robust, manufacturable, and aligned with reliability and production standards.
Support new product introduction (NPI) efforts—design reviews, manufacturability assessments,
prototype builds, and issue resolution during production ramp-up.

Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to design, testing, reliability, and manufacturing, providing
corrective actions and continuous improvement recommendations.
Stay informed on emerging RF and microwave technologies and contribute to technology roadmaps
and process improvement initiatives.

Qualifications:

Hands-on experience designing, simulating, producing, and validating RF/microwave circuits and
subsystems.
Proficiency using RF test equipment including network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, oscilloscopes,
signal generators, and power meters.
Strong math abilities, including calculus and spatial reasoning.
Self-motivated, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment.
Strong sense of ownership, responsibility, and professional discretion.
Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to collaborate across all
organizational levels.

Bachelor's degree in a relevant engineering field.
Minimum of 3 years of direct experience in RF hardware design and measurement.
Electronic Warfare (EW) or radar experience is a plus.
