Zusammenfassung

E-Space in Arlington, TX seeks an experienced antenna engineer to own end-to-end design of user-terminal antennas for space-based IoT terminals. You will translate system goals into detailed RF specifications, perform simulations, and drive prototypes to production readiness.

The role requires hands-on experience with full-wave tools and VNAs, plus strong collaboration with RF front-end, baseband, and mechanical teams.

Qualifikationen

• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, electromagnetics, applied physics, or related field.
• Typically 7+ years of hands-on antenna design and development experience.
• Experience designing compact or electrically small antennas for size-constrained products.
• Strong understanding of antenna theory, impedance matching, radiation patterns, polarization, efficiency, bandwidth, and near-field coupling.
• Hands-on experience with full-wave electromagnetic simulation tools (HFSS, CST, FEKO).
• Experience taking an antenna design from simulation through prototype fabrication and measured validation.
• Experience operating VNAs and performing antenna-pattern, gain, efficiency, polarization, and return-loss measurements.
• Ability to diagnose differences between predicted and measured antenna performance.
• Experience integrating antennas into mechanically and electrically complex products.
• Strong technical communication and cross-functional collaboration skills.
• Knowledge of satellite communication systems and deriving requirements from system objectives.

Aufgaben

• Own user-terminal antenna designs from requirements and concept development through validation and production release.
• Develop compact, multiband or wideband antennas for satellite communication terminals.
• Translate link-budget and system requirements into antenna specifications.
• Perform antenna trade studies considering size, bandwidth, gain, and polarization.
• Design radiators, feeds, matching networks, and other passive RF structures.
• Develop circularly or linearly polarized antenna solutions based on system needs.
• Conduct full-wave simulations using HFSS, CST, FEKO, or equivalent tools.
• Integrate antennas with enclosures, PCBs, radomes, and nearby electronics.
• Plan and perform antenna measurements using VNAs and anechoic chambers.
• Document analyses, test procedures, results, and risks; mentor teammates.
