Job Description: As a Microwave RF Engineer, you will play a key role in the design and development of microwave systems and components for our volatiles processing module s on the Moon and orbital facilities.
Y ou will be responsible for designing and optimizing high-performance RF systems for a variety of applications.
You will play a crucial role in conducting RF simulations, designing microwave cavities, selecting materials, guiding wave propagation, and integrating COTS components into RF systems.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in RF engineering, with experience in Ansys 3 D electromagnetic analysis p ackage s , microwave systems design, and microwave- COTS integration.
Responsibilities: Design , prototype, and test microwave systems based on COTS components. Conduct RF simulations for microwave systems using 3 D electromagnetic (EM) simulation software , optimizing performance and efficiency.
Support the engineering department in v alidat ing the simulations with prototypes , analyzing performance data and making recommendations for improvements.
Design and optimize microwave cavities for various applications. Select appropriate materials for microwave components, considering factors such as conductivity, dielectric properties, and thermal stability. Design waveguides and transmission lines for efficient RF signal propagation. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure successful integration of RF systems into larger products or platforms. Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including mechanical engineers, software engineers, and product managers, to integrate the microwave system into overall product designs. Ensure products comply with industry standards, safety regulations, and certifications. Stay up to date with industry trends, emerging technologies, and best practices to continually improve product designs and processes. To hit the ground running, you need: Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering , RF Engineering, or a related field. Proven experience in RF engineering, with a focus on microwave systems design and COTS integration , covering two or more of the following: Proficiency in RF simulation software, particularly Ansys with the RF package.
