Requirements
  • Masters’s degree in electrical and Electronics Engineering, RF/Antenna Engineering, Telecommunications, or a related field.
  • 10+ years of experience in active antenna and RF test and validation in the industry with a successful product launch history.
  • Expertise in RF including analyzing and testing link budgets, antenna signatures, multipath, etc. Knowledge of RF transceiver measurement techniques such as noise figure, gain/power, ACLR, Linearity, phase noise, etc.
  • Expertise in basic electromagnetics (fading, antenna theory, and propagation), Fourier analysis, and RF theory (S parameters, matching, noise figure, stability, etc.)
  • Excellent problem-solving with a from-first-principles approach.
  • Experience with one of the mainstream antenna simulation tools (CST, HFSS…).
  • Proficiency in using test equipment (e.g., power supplies, oscilloscope, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, power meters, vector network analyzer).
  • Understanding of wireless communications principles, especially in the context of satellite systems.
  • Experience in test automation using Python or similar programming language.
  • Flexible, responsive, and collaborative with an ability to work at a fast-paced startup environment.
  • Strong analytical and communication skills. Teamplayer.
Responsibilities
  • Understand the antenna system requirements and architecture in depth along with the rest of the RF circuitry.
  • Define test plans for active phased array antennas and test strategies for lab, field and on-orbit testing of the standalone antenna as well as full system test.
  • Design lab setups for various types of tests, including radiated chamber tests. Build racks and other test-rigs as necessary for executing the test plan.
  • Ensure timely execution, test accuracy and repeatability.
  • Validate test results against simulations and root-cause issues and communicate with the appropriate teams.
  • Automate the test execution including control and configuration of test equipment.
  • Document test results, test coverage and other KPIs and communicate to all stakeholders regularly.
  • Work with external vendors for procuring components and equipment necessary to build test systems.
  • Collaborate with multi-disciplinary teams – hardware, software, mechanical, systems, etc. – in different time-zones to ensure that system requirements will be met during operation.
