Bring your experience and passion for engineering to Lockheed Martin, and build the systems which support our nation's defense systems.

We are seeking a highly motivated RF Engineer to support the design, development, and integration of advanced radio frequency systems for space-based applications. In this role, you will contribute to the end-to-end lifecycle of RF payloads and subsystems, including Earth-Space Antennas (ESAs), satellite communications links, and RF front-end electronics. You will collaborate with systems engineering, digital processing, and integration / test teams to deliver high-performance RF solutions that enable secure and reliable mission success in space environments.

What does this role look like?

  • Design, model, and analyze space RF systems including ESAs, phased array antennas, transponders, transmitters, and receivers.
  • Perform link budget analysis for Earth-to-Space, Space-to-Earth, and inter-satellite communications.
  • Support RF payload architecture trades, including power, bandwidth, gain, and coverage optimizations.
  • Develop and verify RF hardware performance using simulation tools (HFSS, ADS, CST, MATLAB) and laboratory / field test equipment (spectrum analyzers, VNAs, anechoic chamber measurements).
  • Collaborate with antenna engineers on the design, test, and integration of reflector and phased-array antennas.
  • Define and validate requirements to ensure compliance with mission performance, environmental, and radiation constraints.
  • Document technical results and present findings at internal design reviews and with external customers.
  • Important Notes

  • Candidates may be subject to a government security investigation and must meet eligibility requirements for access to classified information.
  • Applying to this Expression of Interest opportunity introduces you to Lockheed Martin's job opportunities and promotes you to managers who are interested in hiring for multiple roles.

  • Desired skills

  • Master's degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
  • 2+ years of experience in space RF system design, analysis, or test
  • Proficiency in RF simulation tools such as HFSS, ADS, CST, MATLAB, or Simulink
  • Experience with Earth-Space Antennas (ESAs), phased arrays, reflectors, or electronically steered antennas
  • Understanding of communication system design, modulation schemes, coding, and link budgets
  • Familiarity with radiation, thermal, and reliability constraints for space-qualified hardware
  • Hands-on experience with antenna testing in anechoic chambers
