Key responsibilities include:

• Design, simulate, implement, and measure active and passive RF sub-systems at microwave frequencies, including SSPAs, LNAs, power amplifiers, up/down converters, oscillators, filters, etc.

• Be responsible for hardware designs from requirements definition through manufacturing, bring-up, and qualification testing

• Integrate these systems into the spacecraft by working closely with the rest of the team

• Specify, procure, and integrate third-party vendor hardware

• Assist in recruiting, interviewing, and hiring additional teammates to our rapidly growing team

Requirements include:

• BS in electrical engineering, physics, applied physics, or equivalent

• Passion for hardware development, including working in a fast-paced environment and hands-on design and development

• 6+ years of experience

• Deep knowledge of fundamental RF concepts, such as RF circuit analysis, amplifier design, noise, linearity, radio architectures, etc

• Hands-on experience in designing, building, and testing RF hardware for microwave frequencies

• Proven completion of product from concept to production

• Experience with RF simulation tools (ADS, Cadence, HFSS, etc)

• Experience with PCB design, layout, and simulation (Altium or similar)

Bonus requirements include:

• MS or PhD in electrical engineering, physics, applied physics, or equivalent

• Experience with system in package (SiP), multi-chip modules (MCM), packaged RF hybrids, etc

• Experience developing communications satellite payloads

• Experience designing SSPAs or implementing SSPA-based phased arrays

• Experience with designing high-reliability electronics for harsh environments such as space or automotive

• Antennas and electromagnetics propagation knowledge and background

• Experience with software-defined radios and associated skillset (mixed signal, high-speed digital)

• Familiarity with Python or other scripting languages used for automating test instruments
