RF Antenna Engineer

Develop RF antenna telemetry and tracking systems for next-gen space stations (hardware, software, operations). Design and test RF antenna hardware in VHF through Ka-band from concept to production. Perform architecture trade studies, define requirements, and manage development for radios and/or laser systems (S-band, X-band, K-Band, infrared/optical, TDRS, C2V2, etc.). Design, model, and EM simulate RF hardware (antenna, filters, passives). Fabricate and characterize prototypes of antennas, passives, and RF front ends. Lead lifecycle ownership for related RF systems (development, testing, integration, operations, maintenance).
