Job Description

We are seeking a highly skilled RF Metasurface Researcher to join our team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory (APL). As a member of our team, you will contribute to research that spans from computational modeling and optimization to prototyping and characterization of novel metasurfaces and intelligent structures designed for manipulating RF fields.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design, prototype, and fabricate novel metasurfaces and intelligent structures for manipulating RF fields.
  • Perform anechoic chamber measurements and devise RF testbeds to characterize the performance of electromagnetic prototypes.
  • Analyze data and propose design refinements.
  • Advance independent research and development ideas while collaborating with a diverse team of physicists, engineers, and fabrication technicians.
Qualifications
  • Hold a PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related fields.
  • Possess a strong background in electromagnetic metasurfaces and microwave/RF components and circuits.
  • Have proficiency in using a full-wave electromagnetic simulation package such as CST, HFSS, or COMSOL.
  • Have a working experience or interest in configuring and operating typical RF hardware equipment such as vector network analyzers (VNAs), antennas, and spectrum analyzers.
  • Have interest in learning the procedures and protocols pertaining to the fabrication of RF metasurfaces.
  • Write scientific programs in MATLAB or PYTHON.
  • Be able to obtain an Interim Secret security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain a Secret level clearance.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Have experience in printed circuit board layout and fabrication.
  • Have interest in building systems with RF components (e.g., mixers, amplifiers, filters, and detectors).
  • Have previously contributed to the design of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces.
  • Have broad exposure to common RF applications such as communications, radar, antenna design, and microwave imaging.
