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.

Responsibilities

• Experience with Matlab/Simulink or other applications used in the modelling of antennas, matching networks and transmission lines.
• Experience with RF hardware from ~50 kW power levels and greater using solid state or vacuum tube technology.
• Amplitude, frequency and phase control of multiple sources.
• Ability to present complex RF problems in simple and effective manner.
• Ability to work independently as well as a member of the RF Team.
• Accuracy and the ability to identify and correct shortcomings in proposals and designs.
• Ability to rapidly gain new knowledge of RF systems and to identify new approaches.

Requirements

• At least 5 years’ experience with radio frequency systems in an industrial, scientific or broadcasting environment.
• Interest in large science or R&D projects.

Qualifications

• B.S. in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline.
• M.S. in Electrical Engineering or related engineering discipline (preferred).
