Job Title: Senior RF Engineer

Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled Senior RF Engineer to design and develop advanced RF components, subsystems, and systems. The role involves creating adaptive RF filters, circulators, and isolators, as well as high-power pulsed microwave and directed energy technologies. The successful candidate will optimize product designs for manufacturability and cost-efficiency, apply material-enabled analog signal processing to enhance receiver performance, sensitivity, and dynamic range, and participate in system-level design throughout all phases of development.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop RF components, subsystems, and systems.
• Optimize product designs for manufacturability and cost-efficiency.
• Apply material-enabled analog signal processing.
• Participate in system-level design throughout development phases.
• Create and analyze electromagnetic simulation models.
• Collaborate with customers to understand system-level requirements.
• Support sales and business development activities.
• Evaluate high-priority opportunities and assist with deliverables such as prototypes, bids, and presentations.

Essential Skills

• Proficiency in RF circuit/component design.
• Experience with systems engineering.
• Prototyping and assembly of hardware.
• Linear and non-linear RF/microwave modeling and testing.
• Researching ferromagnetic phenomena in materials.
• Proficiency in HFSS simulation software.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on RF engineering.
• Master’s degree and/or PhD in Electrical Engineering is advantageous.
• 10+ years of relevant work experience in the aerospace and defense industry.
• Demonstrated success in RF product design and development.
• Ability to identify and pursue new technology opportunities.
• Proactive, problem-solving, and outcome-oriented mindset.

Work Environment

This role requires working onsite in a dynamic startup environment. The company collaborates with NASA, DOD, and other prime contractors, providing a unique opportunity to work with less red tape than traditional defense companies. The environment is designed for growth, making it an ideal time to join.
