Job summary

Calico Teknoloji is seeking a hands-on RF System Engineer to bridge RF engineering with ground/industrial electrical systems. You will specify, integrate, test, and document end-to-end systems—from RF front ends to power, control, and networking.

You’ll collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams to build bench setups, perform lab testing with VNA/oscilloscopes, and develop comprehensive documentation. This role emphasizes practical wiring, grounding, and robust interfaces in a dynamic environment.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
• 3+ years of RF/electrical system integration experience.
• Hands-on hardware build, wiring, debugging experience.
• Strong RF fundamentals and link budgets.
• Ability to follow manuals and procedures.

Responsibilities

• Architect, specify, and integrate electrical and RF subsystems into a cohesive, deployable system.
• Drive RF system engineering using primarily COTS components: define requirements, evaluate vendor options, select parts, and coordinate procurement.
• Develop and maintain link budgets for signals of interest, incorporating LoS constraints, geometry, antenna patterns, propagation effects, and system margins.
• Define RF signal chains and their interconnections, including practical use of attenuators, terminators, filters, couplers, circulators, mixers, switches, LNAs/LNBs, splitters/diplexers, oscillators, and RF switching.
• Maintain working knowledge of common antenna families and their real-world implications on coverage and margin.
• Lead ground/field electrical design with emphasis on safe power wiring, protection devices, and lightning protection concepts.
• Design grounding and bonding strategies for DC and RF systems; minimize ground loops and mitigate noise coupling paths.
• Own industrial control and digital communications integration: Modbus, CAN, I2C, SPI, UART, RS-232/RS-485/RS-422, and interfacing considerations.
• Support Ethernet/networked system integration at a practical level (physical layer basics, cabling, shielding).
• Select and integrate rugged interconnects: automotive and military-grade connectors.
