Antenna engineer for space and ground applications at TICRA (Denmark)

Would you like to work with antennas for space and ground applications? At TICRA you will have the unique opportunity to do so. We develop state‑of‑the‑art RF antenna design software that enables space agencies and spacecraft manufacturers around the world to create high‑performance communication links in space and on the ground. Moreover, we lead and participate in R&D projects with a focus on new antenna technologies for space applications. We have numerous R&D and software development projects planned in 2022, which deal with large deployable reflectors and arrays.

You will join the Applied Electromagnetics (AEM) Team and will be involved in a number of activities, which will require a deep knowledge of TICRA’s software. You will have direct contact with our experienced customers and will deal with challenging antenna design and analysis tasks.

Primary responsibilities

As a member of the AEM team you will perform numerous different tasks to support our software developers and customers worldwide and contribute to our R&D projects.

• Participate in projects funded by the European Space Agency in collaboration with partners in Europe, in the field of telecommunication, Earth observation and science
• Work closely with all other teams at TICRA to design and test new features in TICRA’s software and contribute to the user’s manual with tutorial examples
• Provide technical support on our software products to our customers to interpret results, speed up computations and identify bugs

Your Profile

You are structured, have an analytical approach to your work, can prioritize and focus on details and quality. You have successfully worked in project teams and are able to work independently. You know how to work toward deadlines and to deal with time pressure. You have very good communication skills in spoken and written English.

• Hold a master’s degree in electrical engineering, physics or astronomy and have a solid background in electromagnetic field theory.
• Have at least five years of experience in analysis or design of reflector antennas, feeds, arrays, patches or periodic structures (e.g. reflectarrays or frequency selective surfaces).
• Are a citizen of a NATO/EU country.
• Knowledge of TICRA’s software products, antenna measurements procedures and theory or project management expertise is an advantage.
