Resumo da oferta

ULOOK Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in Bengaluru seeks an experienced RF/antenna design engineer to design, simulate and optimize advanced antennas for space-grade and defense applications.

You will work across EM simulation, measurements and board integration to deliver high-performance systems. Join a deep-tech team developing Indigenous Autonomous RF-Intelligence and satellite swarms. The role requires 4–6 years in antenna design, strong EM fundamentals, and hands-on testing with HFSS, CST and VNAs

Qualificações

• Bachelor's degree in Electronics, Communication, RF/Microwave Engineering or related field.
• 4–6 years of hands-on antenna design, EM simulation and lab testing.
• Advanced proficiency with 3D EM software (HFSS, CST, FEKO).
• Strong foundation in electromagnetic theory and antenna metrics.
• Experience operating VNAs and anechoic test ranges.
• Understanding RF PCB design rules and board-level integration.

Responsabilidades

• Design, simulate and optimize custom antennas (microstrip, patch, aperture, etc.).
• Run high-fidelity EM simulations to optimize gain, bandwidth and patterns.
• Develop multi-polarization topologies and matching networks.
• Characterize performance with VNAs and near/far-field measurements.
• Integrate antenna systems with RF front-end while mitigating coupling and EMI/EMC.
• Provide input on RF PCB stack-ups, grounding and shielding.
• Troubleshoot RF/antenna issues during prototype testing.
• Collaborate with RF, mechanical and systems teams to meet SWaP constraints.
• Generate documentation and test procedures for design reviews.

Descrição da oferta de emprego

Key Responsibilities

• Design, simulate and optimize custom single-element, array and wideband antennas (microstrip patch, aperture-coupled, cavity-backed spiral, horn, slot and planar architectures).
• Execute high-fidelity EM simulations using ANSYS HFSS, CST or FEKO to optimize gain, efficiency, radiation pattern, axial ratio, bandwidth and isolation.
• Architect multi-polarization topologies including linear, dual-linear and dual circular polarization and design matching networks, feeds and power splitters.
• Characterize antenna performance using VNAs, anechoic chambers and near-field/far-field measurement systems (S-parameters, VSWR, gain, radiation patterns, ECC).
• Integrate antenna systems with RF front-end while minimizing mutual coupling, EMI/EMC issues and thermal/environmental detuning.
• Provide critical input on RF PCB stack-ups, component placement, grounding, shielding and trace impedance control.
• Troubleshoot complex RF/antenna performance anomalies during prototype testing and integration.
• Collaborate with RF, mechanical and systems teams to meet tight SWaP constraints.
• Generate technical documentation, simulation and test procedures to support design reviews.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electronics, Communication, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related field.
• 4–6 years of hands-on experience in antenna design, EM simulation and laboratory testing.
• Advanced proficiency with industry-standard 3D EM software (ANSYS HFSS, CST etc.).
• Strong foundation in electromagnetic theory, transmission lines, Smith Chart analysis and antenna metrics (gain, efficiency, axial ratio, return loss).
• Demonstrated experience operating VNAs, analyzers and anechoic test ranges.
• Solid understanding of RF PCB design rules, microstrip/strip line layout and board-level integration.

Preferred Qualifications

• Masters in RF, Microwave or Electromagnetics.
• Direct experience with space-grade antenna design, satellite payloads, defense platforms or radar systems.
• Experience with phased arrays, beamforming, MIMO systems, or ultra-wideband (UWB) cavity-backed antennas.
• Familiarity with RF front-end components (LNAs, Power Amplifiers, duplexers, filters) and system-level EMI/EMC mitigation.
• Knowledge of MATLAB or Python for automated measurement control and post-processing of simulation data.
