RFMicrowave Engineer – Aerospace & Defense

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced RF Spatial Engineer to design develop and validate advanced RF and microwave subsystems used in aerospace defense and satellite communication this role you will lead full-cycle RF hardware developmentfrom system architecture and simulation to prototyping testing and production support. You will contribute directly to high-power high-frequency systems operating in mission-critical environments with strict performance and reliability requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop RF/microwave circuits and subsystems including SSPAs BUCs mixers filters synthesizers converters and T/R modules.
• Architect and analyze quasi-optical and spatial power-combining systems.
• Perform RF and electromagnetic simulations using tools such as ADS AWR HFSS and CST.
• Translate system requirements into optimized production-ready hardware designs.
• Select evaluate and qualify RF components for high-power and high-reliability applications.
• Develop and execute RF test plans and perform laboratory validation using VNAs spectrum analyzers signal generators power meters and oscilloscopes.
• Characterize RF performance metrics including gain efficiency power linearity noise figure stability and thermal behavior.
• Support full product lifecycle including design reviews prototype builds NPI manufacturability and production ramp-up.
• Troubleshoot design test and production issues; provide root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (mechanical thermal manufacturing and quality engineering).
• Document design results test reports and engineering analyses.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering RF Engineering Microwave Engineering or related field.
• 3 years of hands-on experience in RF/microwave design simulation fabrication and validation.
• Strong experience designing and testing RF subsystems such as power amplifiers (including SSPAs) BUCs filters mixers and converters.
• Proficiency with RF test and measurement equipment (VNA spectrum analyzer signal generator power meter oscilloscope).
• Experience with RF simulation tools such as ADS AWR HFSS or CST.
• Strong understanding of RF fundamentals electromagnetics and microwave system behavior.
• Ability to analyze complex RF data and solve hardware performance issues.
• Strong communication documentation and cross-functional collaboration skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in aerospace defense satellite communications EW (Electronic Warfare) or radar systems.
• Experience with high-power RF design and spatial/quasi-optical power combining architectures.
• Exposure to high-reliability or space-qualified hardware development environments.

Why This Role

This role offers the opportunity to work on advanced RF technologies that directly impact aerospace defense and satellite communication systems. You will work across the full engineering lifecycle contributing to both innovation and production-ready hardware deployed in high-performance environments.
