    In this role you will:

      Design and optimize electrically small antennas
    • Perform full-wave electromagnetic simulations to analyze antenna designs
    • Develop and apply optimization methods to improve the performance of antenna designs
    • Assist with fabrication and testing of optimized antennas
    • Apply your scientific creativity to develop technically-adjacent research areas, such as metamaterial antennas
    • Conduct business development and contribute to white papers and proposals
    • Provide technical briefings and reports and support client engagement
    • Collaborate with multi-disciplinary staff

    The successful candidate will be creative, self-motivated, demonstrate strong analytical and problem-solving skills, and work well in a team.
