Descrizione del lavoro

SpaceX is seeking an Antenna Engineer - Parabolic & Waveguide (Starlink) in Redmond, WA. You will own design, optimization, and validation of high-frequency parabolic reflectors and waveguide networks for satellites and gateways.

The role requires a Bachelor’s in engineering with 2+ years in RF/antenna work and 1+ year using 3D EM tools (CST, HFSS, FEKO, TICRA GRASP). Strong coupling with mechanical and test teams is essential.

Competenze

• Bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline.
• 2+ years of RF/antenna or microwave research
• 1+ years using 3D EM tools such as CST, HFSS, FEKO, TICRA GRASP or equivalent

Mansioni

• Design and optimize parabolic reflector antennas and multi-band (10 – 100+ GHz) feed systems.
• Design waveguide components including OMTs, polarizers, diplexers, filters, and transitions.
• Validate designs with vector network analyzer measurements, pattern measurements, and integrated active network testing.
• Fabricate and characterize prototypes including pattern, gain, efficiency, and high-power testing.
• Collaborate with mechanical engineers on surface accuracy, tolerances, and thermal distortion effects on RF performance.
• Design and test multi-band antenna radomes and high-power RF networks.
• Contribute to integration of reflector antennas and waveguide systems into spacecraft and ground infrastructure.
• Analyze in-field RF performance data and develop improvements.
