RF Subsystems Engineer – Satellite Communications & Space Technology - Advanced Nanosatellite Missions - Spain

We’re looking for an experienced RF Subsystems Engineer to design, develop and validate communication subsystems for advanced nanosatellite missions.

This is a hands‑on role spanning the full RF lifecycle — from link budgets and architecture definition to hardware integration, HIL testing and over-the-air validation.

What you’ll work on

• Define end-to-end RF subsystem architectures
• Perform link budget analysis, RF chain modelling and performance optimisation
• Design and integrate RF front‑end solutions across UHF/VHF, S-band and X-band
• Define subsystem requirements and interfaces with systems and payload teams
• Support integration, verification and validation, including HIL and over-the-air testing
• Evaluate RF components, technologies and suppliers
• Explore onboard signal processing and data reduction for RF payloads
• Assess advanced RF sensing concepts, including signal detection, classification and geolocation

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of RF engineering experience, ideally within satellite, space or aerospace applications
• MSc or PhD in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, Telecommunications or a related field
• Hands‑on experience with UHF, S-band and/or X-band systems
• Experience with tools such as CST, ADS, HFSS or similar
• Practical knowledge of spectrum analysers, VNAs and RF test equipment
• Familiarity with modulation schemes such as GMSK, QPSK, 8PSK and DVB‑S2
• Knowledge of communication protocols such as CSP and CCSDS
• RF payload, DSP, signal analysis or sensing experience is a strong advantage
• Experience with ECSS standards and space‑grade RF qualification is a plus
