Original job description

Description

Are you passionate about designing and developing high-frequency RF, analog, and digital electronics for spaceflight applications?

Do you enjoy solving complex engineering challenges through hands-on circuit design, analysis, and testing?

Are you excited by the opportunity to contribute to next-generation spacecraft, RF payloads, and instruments supporting critical national missions?

If so, we're looking for someone like you to join our team at APL!

We are seeking a High-Frequency RF/Analog/Digital Hardware Engineer to design, analyze, and develop NASA’s and DoW's next-generation spacecraft, RF payloads, and RF instruments. You'll be joining a hard-working team of engineers who thrive on making critical contributions to our nation's critical challenges. Our culture embraces our core values of unquestionable integrity, trusted service to our nation, world-class expertise, game-changing impact, and a highly-collaborative (even fun!) environment.

As an RF & High-Frequency Hardware Engineer you will...

Perform RF, microwave, and/or high-speed analog and digital circuit and component design, simulation, development, and test.
Layout of RF/microwave/high-frequency lumped and distributed element circuits and printed circuit boards.
Conduct circuit-level analysis to determine performance.
Develop and document schematic drawings, test plans, test procedures and test reports.
Work with mission and spacecraft systems engineers, subsystem engineers, and project management in overall mission development and execution from concept to launch, including technical concept design, requirements definition, development phases, technical reviews, budget, and schedule development.
Lead technical team(s) throughout the development cycle, including conceptualization, trade studies, prototype work, flight development, integration, and test.
Assist project and program management in sponsor engagement.

Qualifications

You meet our minimum qualifications for the job if you currently possess...

A BS or MS in Electrical Engineering or relevant technical field.
7 or more years of recent, hands-on experience in RF, microwave, or high frequency analog or digital hardware design.
Have experience developing high-reliability electronic hardware from conceptual design through testing, integration, and delivery, preferably in aerospace, defense, spaceflight, telecommunications, or other technically demanding environments.
Have strong technical expertise in at least one of the following areas, with an interest in developing skills across additional disciplines:
RF and microwave circuit design, simulation and testing
High-Frequency analog electronics and discrete transistor-based circuit design
High speed digital hardware design, circuit layout, and packaging
A high motivation and ability to work well in a team-oriented environment with good communication skills.
Are willing and able to accommodate: flexible hours for spacecraft-level testing activities for short periods of time, infrequent travel to customer or sponsor locations as well as spacecraft integration and test sites.
Are able to obtain an interim Top Secret level security clearance by your start date and can ultimately obtain TS/SCI level clearance. If selected, you will be subject to a government security clearance investigation and must meet the requirements for access to classified information. Eligibility requirements include U.S. citizenship.

You'll go above and beyond our minimum requirements if you have...

PhD degree in Electrical Engineering with previous RF systems, payload, or instrument design leadership experience.
Familiarity with communications systems theory.
Experience with microwave, electromagnetic, and high-speed digital tools and simulators such as ADS, HFSS, Genesys, FEKO, HyperLynx, and Ansys SIWave.
History of external publications. Experience with lumped and distributed element design techniques using discrete or MMIC-based transistor technologies.
Experience with layout and schematic capture tools such as Mentor or Altium.
Experience with software-defined radios, antennas, RF characterization and measurements to Ka-band or beyond, radar systems design, military satellite communications systems, and sensors.
