- Means of controlling transponder functions
- Transponder power supply avionics
- Radio-to-antenna interface design
Basic Qualifications
- Graduate degree in Electrical Engineering or related field
- Minimum 5 years of experience designing analog RF systems, with hands-on circuit design and board layout using industry-standard EDA tools
- Experience designing RF signal chains incorporating amplifiers, filters, and mixers, using circuit simulation tools such as ADS or Microwave Office
- Experience designing power supply avionics for RF or analog payloads
- Ability to perform bench-level RF and analog bring-up and troubleshooting using spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, signal generators, and other RF test equipment
- Strong verbal and written communication skills
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience designing transponders or transponder-like RF chains for satellite communication payloads
- Experience with radio-to-antenna interface design and passive RF/microwave components (waveguides, diplexers, couplers, filters), including 3D EM simulation in HFSS, CST, or similar
- Experience designing, manufacturing, and testing space flight hardware, including managing radiation effects (TID, SEE mitigation, part selection)
- General electrical hardware design experience across power, DC, and digital domains
- Experience with antenna range or anechoic chamber testing and RF component characterization
- Expertise in automating RF test equipment and reducing measurement data using Python, MATLAB, or similar tools
