TL;DR · Senior Specialist, RF and Power Supply Electrical Engineering

Senior Specialist, RF and Power Supply Electrical Engineering serves as a senior professional within the engineering team to support the design and manufacture of tracking, telemetry, and command products for airborne and space-based applications. The role involves circuit card and subsystem design, schematic capture, and the integration and testing of RF hardware. Key responsibilities include performing simulations, conducting trade studies, managing complex projects, and troubleshooting digital communication systems. Candidates must possess expertise in RF/microwave engineering, communication theory, and digital modulation techniques like BPSK and QPSK. Technical proficiency is required in tools such as ADS, AWR VSS, or HFSS for electromagnetic analysis. The position focuses on solving technical challenges related to X-Band and K-band frequencies, power supplies, and hardware designed for military or space-qualified environments while mentoring early career engineers through the development process.

What you'll do

  • Design RF/microwave circuit cards and subsystems including schematic capture and Worst-Case Analysis.
  • Manage complex projects and processes with general oversight to meet production goals.
  • Determine design approaches and parameters while selecting components based on reliability specifications.
  • Perform simulations, conduct trade studies, and present results during formal design reviews.
  • Execute design verification testing to validate the performance of RF hardware.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve technical issues related to RF hardware and digital communication systems.
  • Mentor and provide leadership to early career engineers within the organization.

What we're looking for

  • A Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and at least 6 years of relevant experience.
  • A Graduate degree and at least 4 years of related experience.
  • At least 10 years of related experience in lieu of a degree.
  • Ability to obtain a security clearance (U.S. citizenship required).
  • Proficiency in RF/microwave engineering, communication theory, and digital modulation techniques.
  • Experience designing X-Band or higher circuits at the circuit card or module level (preferred).
  • Experience with 3D Electromagnetic analysis using HFSS or similar tools (preferred).
  • Experience with military or space-qualified hardware designs (preferred).
