Your Role In The Mission

We are seeking a highly experienced engineer with a strong background in the design, modeling, simulation, and testing of advanced RF, microwave, and quasi-optical antenna systems, covering frequencies from 100 MHz to 300 GHz.

Responsibilities

• Design, simulate, analyze, and test RF, microwave, and quasi-optical antenna systems across a wide frequency range.
• Develop and refine antenna system designs including reflector, phased-array, horn antennas, and RF waveguide components such as ortho-mode transducers, mode converters, polarizers, and phase shifters.
• Apply antenna engineering principles—classical electromagnetics, coupled-mode theory, array theory, physical optics, ray tracing, and link-budget analysis—to enable robust transmitter / receiver front-end systems.
• Use advanced simulation tools (COMSOL, HFSS, CST, PSpice) for full-wave electromagnetic and circuit-level modeling.
• Conduct measurement and testing using vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and RF power meters, and interpret data with MATLAB, Python, Origin, or similar.
