Senior Antenna Design Engineer

Antenna Architecture and Design

Lead the end-to-end design of antenna systems for spaceborne and/or ground-based applications

Independently design antennas and phased array systems using ANSYS HFSS , from initial concept through final layout

Define antenna architectures supporting beamforming, beam steering, and multi-beam operation

Design and optimize phased array antennas, including element design, array layout, feed networks, and radiation pattern control

Perform antenna trade studies considering performance, size, weight, power, thermal, and manufacturability constraints

Simulation, Analysis, and Optimization

Perform detailed full-wave EM simulations in HFSS to evaluate gain, efficiency, bandwidth, polarization, sidelobe levels, and mutual coupling

Optimize antenna designs to meet system-level requirements such as coverage, link budget, and interference mitigation

Use MATLAB or Python for post-processing, parametric sweeps, and design automation

Hardware Development and Testing

Work closely with RF, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to transition HFSS designs into physical hardware

Support antenna prototyping, integration, and validation testing

Define and execute antenna test plans, including chamber, range, and over-the-air (OTA) measurements

Analyze measurement results and correlate test data with HFSS simulation results

Cross-Functional Collaboration and Leadership

Collaborate closely with Systems Engineers, RF Engineers, Payload Engineers, and Network Design teams to ensure antenna designs meet end-to-end system requirements

Provide technical mentorship and design guidance to junior engineers

Help establish antenna design standards, workflows, and best practices across the organization
