Principal Wireless/Antenna/RF Engineer

Responsibilities

• Invent, Design and Develop of RF/Microwave antennas and/or array elements spanning the electromagnetic spectrum of 3 MHz to 110 GHz, for a wide variety of narrow band and wide band.
• Expert knowledge and use of computer design tools such as HFSS, ADS, AWR, CST, GRASP, WIPL, and MATLAB are assumed.
• Knowledge of a wide array of antenna types such as Microstrip patch, Horn, Spiral, Dipole, Blade, Reflector and Interferometers / AESA antenna element design and fabrication methods including technical proposal preparation, product qualification, and support to production.
• Work individually and/or with a team of engineers and technicians to develop antennas and act as technology advisors to support varied antenna products, technology and subsystems (i.e., CNI, Munitions, Missile, Electronic Warfare, Situational Awareness & Self-protection, Interferometers, AESA and other).
• Lead, Design, analysis and test of RF/Microwave Antennas, hybrids, feed structures, filters and elements for a variety of applications.
• Documentation of design elements, antenna test procedures and support to Mechanical Engineering for design/drafting and R&M engineering.
• Recommend and lead Set up and operational Testing and evaluation of engineering hardware in a laboratory environment.
