Senior RF Engineer
About The Role
TAE Technologies is developing radio frequency systems for a number of applications, including plasma heating on our current and next generation fusion devices and for plasma sources in auxiliary systems. The systems will span a variety of operational frequencies (e.g., 10 MHz to 10 GHz) and range of powers (e.g., 10s kW to 1 MW). The successful candidate will work closely with both the Engineering and Physics teams to develop these technologies from the design of the antennas, matching networks, transmission lines and instrumentation, to the procurement of component parts, to the commissioning and operation of the systems. He or she will work closely with RF physicists to design systems that meet stated requirements.
