  • 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.
