How much do mobile antenna engineer jobs pay per hour?
What is the difference between Mobile Antenna Engineer vs RF Engineer?
| Aspect | Mobile Antenna Engineer | RF Engineer |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Engineering degree, certifications in RF or antenna design | Engineering degree, certifications in RF or wireless systems |
| Work Environment | Design labs, field testing, manufacturing facilities | Design labs, testing facilities, telecommunications sites |
| Industry Usage | Mobile device manufacturers, telecom providers | Wireless communication, telecom, broadcasting |
| Common Search/Comparison | Focuses on antenna design and integration for mobile devices | Focuses on RF signal transmission, system performance |
While both roles require expertise in wireless technology, Mobile Antenna Engineers specialize in designing and testing antennas for mobile devices, whereas RF Engineers focus on the overall radio frequency systems and signal performance. Understanding these differences helps employers and job seekers target the right skills and roles in the wireless industry.

Job description
Telesat Lightspeed, our revolutionary Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite network, scheduled to begin service in 2027, will revolutionize global broadband connectivity for enterprise and Government users by delivering a combination of high capacity, security, resiliency and affordability with ultra-low latency and fiber-like speeds. Telesat is headquartered in Ottawa, Canada, and has offices and facilities around the world.
The company's state-of-the-art Satellite fleet consists of 12 GEO satellites, the Canadian payload on ViaSat-1 and one LEO 3 demonstration satellite. For more information, follow Telesat on X and LinkedIn or visit www.telesat.com
The successful candidate will bring engineering expertise in the design and deployment of satellite antennas and user terminals (UTs) for the Telesat Lightspeed Constellation network, supporting both fixed and mobile applications. This role involves complete analysis of terminal antenna options, modem integration, and UT architecture to provide technical inputs for deployment and portfolio development. The candidate will also lead technical relationships with antenna suppliers and participate in design reviews and validation tests.
Resource is required to work onsite from our Bethesda office four (4) days weekly.
Main Responsibilities
- Develop technical requirements for LEO Constellation UT antenna technology, including modem integration and antenna architecture
- Support the definition of UT antenna and modem requirements, evaluate vendor developed technologies
- Interface with and evaluate vendor-proposed terminal designs for performance, reliability, manufacturability, and review integration strategies between antennas and modems for future UT designs
- Recommend modifications or new UT designs to achieve cost, performance, and reliability targets
- Identify tests to validate system assumptions with antenna and UT prototypes
- Help develop supporting documentation, test requirements and compliance matrix for UT Type Approval process
- Lead evaluation of antenna technologies, including electronically steerable antennas (ESAs) and novel ESA technologies
- Stay current with the latest satellite, 5G antenna design technologies, and open AMIP and open BMIP standards
- Perform other duties as required
Education and Experience
- Bachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or similar - required
Master's in Engineering - required - PhD with research on electronically steerable antenna design - highly preferred
- Minimum 10 years in satellite antenna, terminal, and/or satellite system design
- Experience with ESA design and modem integration is a strong plus
- Deployment of ESA designed antennas is a strong plus
Specialized Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities
- Simulation, design, and testing of electronically steerable antennas for satellite communication
- Knowledge of flat panel antenna integration approaches with variety of modem technologies
- Familiarity with standardized protocols for antenna control and modem interoperability and communication
- Expertise in Ka-band antenna technologies for mobile land, aeronautical, maritime, and fixed applications
- Understanding of satellite modems, hub technology, and RF equipment
- Strong foundation in electromagnetism and array antenna architecture
- Experience with RFIC selection, beamforming, and manufacturing processes for array antennas
- Knowledge of antenna control techniques for beam steering and beam shape control
- Ability to make design trade-offs between performance, cost, and power consumption
- Experience working with suppliers and vendors of antenna and modem technologies
- Fluent in English, written and oral
Working Conditions
- Resource is required to be in office four (4) days weekly
