What you will do:

• Lead and grow a multidisciplinary team of antenna/RF design and RF test engineers and technicians.

• Own radiating-element RF design — element geometry, impedance and match, polarization, and bandwidth across a wide operating band.

• Own array layout and dimensioning, and array-level RF performance — gain, pattern, and sensitivity to surface accuracy.

• Own the element-level electrical and electronics design that drives each radiating element.

• Direct the RF test function — element, array, and module characterization; test planning; and acceptance criteria.

• Hold the subsystem's RF and electrical requirements, budgets, and verification, and close them through analysis and test.

• Partner with adjacent communications, avionics, mechanical/structures, and integration & test teams across the program.

• Support environmental and deployment testing of the integrated antenna.

What you bring to this role:

• BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related field.

• Lead- or Staff-level antenna/RF engineer with phased-array hardware experience (element and array design).

• Experience with RF front-end or module-level electronics.

• Demonstrated RF test leadership — characterization, test planning, and acceptance.

• Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Bonus Points:

• Wideband VHF/UHF antenna experience (spiral or comparable broadband elements).

• Space or flight RF hardware experience, including environmental qualification (thermal-vacuum, vibration, radiation, EMC).

• Experience with space structures.

• Experience supporting integration and test of flight hardware.
