Responsibilities

As a Senior RF Systems Engineer focused on Ground Systems, you will own the end-to-end RF performance of AnySignal's ground terminal hardware across frequency bands used for commercial, civil, and defense communications systems. This role involves end-to-end ownership as well as nitty-gritty design. You're the person who figures out why the link isn't closing, what's eating the noise figure, and how to squeeze every dB out of the system. You'll define field-deployable terminals, drive component selection and BOMs, integrate modem hardware, and build the test procedures that make our systems reliable no matter where they're deployed. You'll work across a tight-knit team of electrical, mechanical, software, and manufacturing engineers to deliver ground hardware that performs across a range of bands and mission profiles.
Define top-level RF system requirements for ground terminals, setting specifications for antenna interfaces, frequency conversion chains, RF front ends, and signal processing
Own end-to-end terminal RF performance — G/T, noise temperature, EIRP, link margin, and noise figure — through characterization, cascade modeling, and link budget analysis across LEO, MEO, GEO, and defense mission scenarios
Define, select, and manage RF front-end component BOMs — LNAs, SSPAs, feeds, diplexers, cables, connectors, and waveguide hardware — from specification through procurement
Troubleshoot RF system issues across the full receive and transmit chain, from antenna feed to modem, and drive integration and validation of modem hardware and waveform performance
Work with antenna and mechanical teams to ensure pointing accuracy, feed alignment, and aperture performance meet system requirements
Plan and execute RF system acceptance testing using VNAs, spectrum analyzers, noise figure analyzers, and power meters; write test procedures, characterization reports, and performance documentation
Support regulatory and compliance submissions including frequency coordination, band licensing, and emissions analysis
