2027 RF / Antenna Engineer

We need to output HTML fragment with sections: About the role? The posting includes introductory paragraphs about company, then job details. We need to use

for section headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include Job ID etc. We must include only sections with real specific content. We must preserve all substantive info, not invent or summarize away detail. Remove boilerplate, navigation, legal, EEO, etc. Also remove duplicated lines and application instructions. We need to parse the posting. Content: Intro: "The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner...". This is about company; could be "About the role"? Actually "About the role" is typical heading for description of role. The intro includes company description and mission. Could be considered "About the role" or maybe "About the company". But we only have allowed headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We can use About the role for company overview and role summary. Then "Job Summary" paragraph: describes department, expertise, etc. That could be part of About the role or Responsibilities? Probably About the role. Then "What You’ll Be Doing": list of duties. That's Responsibilities. Then "What You Need To Be Successful": includes education, experience, knowledge, etc. That's Requirements/Qualifications/Skills. We need to split appropriately. The allowed headings: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what goes where. The posting lumps: Master's degree, GPA, 1 year industry work experience, knowledge of EM theory, antenna design fundamentals, principles of RF communication, project/academic experience with EM simulation software, engineering programming languages, RF measurement equipment, ability to analyze requirements and document results, security clearance, US citizenship, transcripts required. That's more like Requirements/Qualifications. Then "How You Can Stand Out": Ph.D., communication skills, proficiency in specific tools, lab experience, deep knowledge in certain areas. That's more like Skills or Preferred Qualifications. We could treat "What You Need To Be Successful" as Requirements, and "How You Can Stand Out" as Skills (or Qualifications). But we have both Qualifications and Skills headings allowed. Could put Requirements for mandatory, Qualifications for preferred? Or Skills for technical skills. Let's decide: - Requirements: education, experience, security clearance, citizenship, transcripts. - Qualifications: knowledge of EM theory, antenna design fundamentals, RF communication principles, experience with HFSS, MATLAB/Python, RF measurement equipment, ability to analyze requirements. - Skills: communication skills, proficiency in specific tools (Ansys HFSS, Keysight ADS, TICRA GRASP, GNURadio), lab experience, deep knowledge in listed areas. But we must not invent or summarize away detail. We need to preserve all substantive info. So we need to list each bullet as

under appropriate sections. We also have Pay section: "We offer a competitive compensation package... The grade-based pay range for this job is listed below. Individual salaries within that range are determined through a wide variety of factors... (Min - Max) $86,600.00 - $129,800.00 Pay Basis: Annual". That's specific pay info, so we include Pay section. Benefits: "During your interview process, our team will provide details of our industry-leading benefits. Benefits vary and are applicable based on Job Type. A few highlights include: Comprehensive health care and wellness plans Paid holidays, sick time, and vacation Standard and alternate work schedules, including telework options 401(k) Plan — Employees receive a total company-paid benefit of 8%, 10%, or 12% of eligible compensation based on years of service and matching contributions; employees are immediately eligible and vested in the plan upon hire Flexible spending accounts Variable pay program for exceptional contributions Relocation assistance Professional growth and development programs to help advance your career Education assistance programs An inclusive work environment built on teamwork, flexibility, and respect". That's specific benefits, so we include Benefits section. Schedule: Not explicitly mentioned. There's no mention of schedule (full-time mentioned earlier: "Position will be full-time, and will be at our office in Chantilly, VA." That's schedule info: full-time. So we could include Schedule section with full-time. However the rule: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It does state full-time, so we can include Schedule. We must not include boilerplate like Equal Opportunity Commitment, etc. Remove that. Also remove duplicated lines. There's some duplication? Not obvious. We must not include application instructions. Now produce HTML fragment with headings

and appropriate content. Structure:

We must ensure we don't include filler like "commensurate with experience". Not present. We need to preserve all substantive info. Let's extract each piece. About the role: combine introductory paragraphs and Job Summary. Intro: "The Aerospace Corporation is the trusted partner to the nation’s space programs, solving the hardest problems and providing unmatched technical expertise. As the operator of a federally funded research and development center (FFRDC), we are broadly engaged across all aspects of space— delivering innovative solutions that span satellite, launch, ground, and cyber systems for defense, civil and commercial customers. When you join our team, you’ll be part of a special collection of problem solvers, thought leaders, and innovators. Join us and take your place in space.

. Now Requirements: from "What You Need To Be Successful": - Master’s degree in EE, Physics, or STEM related discipline from an accredited university, pursuing or conferring within 12 months. - Minimum GPA of 3.00 - 1 year of industry work experience - Knowledge of electromagnetic theory, antenna design fundamentals, and principals of RF communication - Project / academic experience with EM simulation software such as HFSS, engineering programing languages such as MATLAB or Python, and RF measurement equipment such as network analyzers, signal generators, or spectrum analyzers - Ability to analyze requirements and document simulation/test results - This position requires the ability to obtain and maintain a security clearance, which is issued by the US government. - US citizenship is required to obtain a security clearance - Transcripts required Make each a

. Note: "Minimum GPA of 3.00-1 year of industry work experience" appears as a weird hyphen; but original text: "Minimum GPA of 3.00-1 year of industry work experience". Likely they meant "Minimum GPA of 3.00; 1 year of industry work experience". We'll split into two items: Minimum GPA of 3.00; 1 year of industry work experience. We'll preserve as separate bullets. Now Qualifications: maybe we treat the knowledge and experience items as Qualifications? But we already used knowledge in Requirements. To avoid duplication, we need to decide split. The posting lumps knowledge and experience together under "What You Need To Be Successful". That could be considered Requirements. Then "How You Can Stand Out" is additional qualifications/skills. So we could put Requirements as education, experience, clearance, citizenship, transcripts. Qualifications as knowledge of EM theory, antenna design fundamentals, RF communication principles, experience with HFSS, MATLAB/Python, RF measurement equipment, ability to analyze requirements. Skills as standout items: Ph.D., communication skills, proficiency in specific tools, lab experience, deep knowledge in listed areas. Thus we need to not duplicate the knowledge/experience items. Let's extract: From "What You Need To Be Successful": after education and GPA and experience, we have: - Knowledge of electromagnetic theory, antenna design fundamentals, and principals of RF communication - Project / academic experience with EM simulation software such as HFSS, engineering programing languages such as MATLAB or Python, and RF measurement equipment such as network analyzers, signal generators, or spectrum analyzers - Ability to analyze requirements and document simulation/test results These could go under Qualifications. Now "How You Can Stand Out": - Ph.D. in EE, Physics, or STEM related discipline from an accredited university, pursuing or conferring within 12 months. - Excellent communication skills and ability to convey complex technical information to cross-organization teams with diverse technical backgrounds - Proficiency in Ansys HFSS, Keysight ADS, TICRA GRASP, and/or GNURadio - Experience working in a laboratory environment specifying test plans, performing RF and antenna measurements, and analyzing and presenting results - Deep knowledge / understanding and/or academic research relevant to any of the following: - RF/analog electronics and front-end system design - Design of common antenna types including reflectors, horns, patch antennas, and electronically steered antenna arrays - Digital signal processing and communication systems theory We need
