For an advanced and innovative technology project we are seeking a Senior RF Engineer to join the research and development team of high‑power electromagnetic transmission systems.

The position includes development, implementation, and integration of electromagnetic RF systems.

Position Description Research, design, and development of advanced electromagnetic transmission systems, including:

  • High‑voltage and high‑power RF components
  • Pulsed‑power systems
  • Antennas and antenna arrays
  • Power combiners
  • High‑voltage switching boards

The role involves engineering work at both component and system levels, including design, implementation, integration, and testing.

Responsibilities:

  • Develop and implement high‑power electromagnetic transmission systems.
  • Design and develop high‑voltage, high‑power RF components in accordance with system architecture.
  • Develop and implement high‑voltage switching boards and pulsed‑power modules.
  • Participate in design, characterization, and testing of antennas and antenna arrays.
  • Implement and integrate power combiners and dividers.
  • Establish, operate, and perform experiments involving high voltage and strong electromagnetic fields.
  • Perform component and subsystem level electromagnetic analyses, calculations, and simulations using HFSS or CST.
  • Participate in integration processes and system‑level testing.
  • Prepare technical reports, test documents, and present results.
  • Work closely with multidisciplinary teams including RF, high‑voltage, control, and mechanical groups.

Requirements:

  • BSc in Electrical and Electronics Engineering.
  • At least 5 years of proven experience in R&D of RF or electromagnetic systems.
  • Demonstrated experience with electromagnetic simulations using HFSS or CST.
  • Knowledge and experience in designing or implementing high‑voltage, high‑power RF components.
  • Ability to work independently on complex engineering tasks as part of a system team.
  • Willingness and ability to work offsite as required.

Advantages:

  • Experience with high‑power microwave (HPM) systems.
  • Experience working with high‑voltage switching boards and/or pulsed‑power systems.
  • Experience working with high voltage vacuum and plasma.
  • Experience in antenna design or characterization.
  • Experience in integration and testing of complex systems.

Only suitable applicants will be contacted. *#Holon
