Required

Bachelor’s or advanced degree in Electrical Engineering, Communications Engineering, Applied Physics, or a related discipline.
5+ years of experience with phased arrays, antenna systems, RF communication systems, or SATCOM terminals.
Strong foundation in antenna theory, array processing, electromagnetics, RF system design, and microwave propagation.
Experience with communication-link analysis, including EIRP, G/T, C/N0, Eb/N0, link margin, atmospheric loss, and interference.
Understanding of digital communications sufficient to relate RF performance to modulation-dependent EVM, acquisition, BER, throughput, and spectral performance.
Experience defining or evaluating RF lineups, including noise figure, gain, linearity, dynamic range, phase noise, filtering, and isolation.
Experience using MATLAB, Python, or similar tools for array, RF-system, propagation, or link analysis.
Hands-on experience with RF measurements and integrated system debugging using equipment such as vector network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, signal generators, noise sources, and vector signal analyzers.

Preferred

Experience developing Ku-, Ka-, or higher-frequency SATCOM phased-array terminals or ground stations.
Experience with analog, hybrid, or digital beamforming and multi-channel RF architectures.
Experience with massive MIMO, adaptive beamforming, multi-beam systems, electronically steered arrays, SATCOM phased-array terminals or ground stations.
Familiarity with SATCOM waveforms and standards such as DVB-S2/S2X, CCSDS, or equivalent modem architectures.
Experience analyzing modulation-dependent EVM, BER/BLER, adjacent-channel leakage, spectral regrowth, amplifier backoff, and link degradation.
Experience with array calibration, mutual coupling, channel imbalance, thermal drift, radome effects, or field recalibration.
Experience with beam acquisition, monopulse or equivalent tracking, ephemeris-based pointing, polarization tracking, or satellite handover.
Experience with SDR-integrated RF systems or collaboration with FPGA, DSP, modem, and embedded-software teams.
