    Job Description

    Job DescriptionDescriptionAs an Antenna Engineer at Impulse Space, your core responsibility will be to design antenna systems for spacecraft communication systems and GNSS receivers. You will work with RF engineers, avionics hardware engineers, mechanical engineers, and others to develop performant and maintainable solutions. You will own the antenna design lifecycle from initial design inception through prototype and characterization and supporting the design on orbit.
    Responsibilities
    • Define antenna and feed network systems for low, medium, and high gain spacecraft antennas
    • Drive 1GHz to >30GHz antenna designs from initial analysis to prototype and complete characterization
    • 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
    • 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

    Minimum Qualifications
    • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
    • 2+ years experience in research or development of antennas
    • Familiarity with 3D EM simulation tools such as CST, HFSS, COMSOL, or Cenos
    • Experience analyzing antenna systems in the lab (s-parameters, isolation, radiation patterns, propagation effects, etc)
    • Strong foundations in RF concepts such as impedance matching, s-parameters, microwave network analysis, and power handling

    Preferred Skills and Experience
    • Master's Degree or PhD in wireless communications, antenna engineering, or related area of study
    • 5+ years experience in research or development of antennas
    • Experience designing high gain, circularly polarized antennas
    • Experience doing RF system-level testing in the lab using equipment such as spectrum analyzers, power meters, oscilloscopes, and noise figure analyzers
    • Experience designing antenna hardware for launch vehicles, satellites or spacecraft
    • System-level antenna design and placement experience for desense mitigation
    • Experience working closely with mechanical and vehicle engineers to integrate antenna designs with brackets and other vehicle hardware
    • Experience in a start-up or agile development environment
