Description
• Work with engineers and vendors to fabricate, test, and integrate antenna designs • Perform antenna testing using test chambers and analyze test data • Analyze real-world performance of antennas, debug antenna issues on completed vehicles, and investigate methods to improve vehicle radiated performance • Support RF and avionics teams by performing EM simulations of PCBs and other vehicle structures for desense analysis, co-existence simulations, and transmission loss • Contribute to design of antennas for Impulse’s future vehicles • Work closely with RF engineers and mechanical engineers to integrate antenna designs into RF front ends and vehicle structures • Optimize antenna designs for power handling, volume and mass constraints, and radiation and thermal environments present on orbit
Requirements
• Completed or in progress Master’s Degree or PhD in wireless communications, antenna engineering, or related area of study. • Experience analyzing antenna systems in the lab (s-parameters, isolation, radiation patterns, propagation effects, etc) • Familiarity with 3D EM simulation tools such as CST, HFSS, ADS, FEKO, COMSOL, or Cenos • Experience doing RF system-level testing in the lab using equipment such as spectrum analyzers, power meters, oscilloscopes, and noise figure analyzers. • Familiarity with a PCB design software such as Altium or Cadence • Experience designing hardware for launch vehicles, satellites or spacecraft • Experience working closely with mechanical and vehicle engineers to integrate antenna or electrical designs with brackets and other vehicle hardware
