    Description

    Satellite Antenna Engineer
    Location: San Jose California
    Citizenship / Clearance Requirements: US Citizens with Ability to Obtain a Clearance
    We are seeking a highly skilled Satellite Antenna Engineer to join our growing team and contribute to the design, development, and integration of advanced antenna systems for next‑generation satellite platforms. This role is ideal for engineers passionate about electromagnetics, RF systems, and cutting‑edge space technologies.
    Key Responsibilities
    Antenna System Design
    • Design and optimize advanced antenna architectures, including phased arrays, reflectors, and feed systems
    • Develop solutions across Ku‑band, Ka‑band, and other SATCOM frequency ranges
    EM Simulation & Modeling
    • Use industry‑standard EM simulation tools (HFSS, CST, TICRA) to model antenna performance
    • Analyze radiation patterns, gain, efficiency, and overall system behavior
    Prototyping & Fabrication
    • Build and characterize antenna prototypes and RF front‑end components
    • Validate design performance through iterative prototyping and refinement
    Testing & Measurement
    • Conduct detailed antenna testing in anechoic chambers and near‑field measurement ranges
    • Utilize VNAs, signal generators, and other RF test equipment to verify performance metrics
    Systems Integration
    • Collaborate with mechanical, thermal, and systems engineering teams to integrate antenna modules into satellite payloads
    • Ensure antenna systems meet launch survivability and space‑environment requirements
    Required Skills & Qualifications
    Education
    • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related field
    • Ph.D. in electromagnetics or antenna engineering preferred for senior‑level roles
    Technical Skills
    • Strong foundation in RF theory, impedance matching, microwave network analysis, and beamforming
    • Proficiency in Python, MATLAB, or C++ for automation, modeling, and data analysis
    • Familiarity with PCB fabrication processes and commercial microwave materials

    Several compensation options are available such as direct hire or consultancy. Hourly rates or comparable salary start at 80/hour and go up based on experience. Benefits (Health, Dental, Vision, PTO, 401k) can be available based on the compensation method chosen.
