Rockville, United States Intellian Technologies Full time

As a Senior Antenna Engineer (10+ years of experience), you will participate design and test works of novel RF and antenna module development for SatCom user terminals. An ideal candidate should have extensive experience with microwave and antenna engineering, prototyping, and testing. The candidate should be very familiar with simulation design modeling and implementation of prototypes. This engineering role will be responsible for leading various full-wave EM simulations to deliver the antenna design packages. This engineer will also lead prototype testing, including writing test plans, setting up test configurations, conducting measurements, generating test reports, and supporting troubleshoots during the design verification test (DVT) processes. This member shall proactively interact with the other engineering teams (e.g. mechanical, electrical, software, etc.) to communicate and organize the daily tasks.


Main Responsibilities

  • Architect antenna and RF systems for Ku- and Ka-band SatCom terminal products
  • Design various types of Ku- and Ka-band antenna apertures for SatCom terminal applications
  • Utilize simulation software and physical models to conduct antenna analyses for design optimizations and trade-offs
  • Generate design documents and packages to support contract manufacturers for prototype fabrication
  • Draft test plans of RF and antenna modules for design verification test (DVT) campaigns
  • Setup and manage RF lab facilities to conduct various RF and antenna tests and characterization
  • Design RF and antenna test setup and implement testing fixtures
  • Write and manage script languages to automate testing processes
  • Generate antenna and RF test reports
  • Lead cross-functional engineering teams to review the antenna system design
  • Support production build-up for the manufacturing partners for prototypes and volume ramp-up.
  • Provide engineering analysis and system specifications for ESA that incorporate radiating elements & beamforming chips, polarizer & randome
  • Calculate/estimate the AESA design features & performance parameters including the type of radiators, number of elements, beam scan range, G/T & EIRP based on customer requirements
  • Design, optimize & develop AESA antennas & related components such as polarizers & radomes using computer simulation followed by prototyping & measurements
  • Provide engineering analysis and system specifications for ESA that incorporate radiating elements & beamforming MMIC chips, polarizer, radome & controller


Required Qualification

  • Minimum: MS degree in EE or physics with antenna research experience. Preferred: Ph.D. degree in EE or physics with extensive antenna and EM-wave theory research experience
  • 5+ years of experience with SatCom antenna aperture design and development, including phased array antennas
  • 5+ years of experience with antenna and RF system architecture design
  • Solid knowledge & understanding of antenna design principles and microwave theories
  • Extensive experience with antenna design and simulation tools, including HFSS, CST, or equivalent
  • Extensive experience operating RF test equipment, including signal generator, spectrum analyzer, vector network analyzer, etc.
  • Solid knowledge of antenna testing facility and methodology, including far- and near-field ranges and measurements
  • Knowledge of applying cost-effective manufacturing technologies to deliver antenna products
  • Design & development of flat-plane active steerable-beam phased array antennas incorporating beam-forming chips
  • Experience in the design & development of polarizer is a plus
  • Experience in the design and development of advanced PCB-based radiators such as meta-surface radiators capable of wide-scan angles & low-cross-polarization
  • Knowledge of commercial microwave PCB materials & processes is highly preferred
  • Experience in the design & development of flat-panel active electronically steerable phased array (AESA) for LEO user terminals is highly desirable
