Staying up to date with the latest tools and methodologies is essential, as is balancing technical performance goals with project timelines and budget constraints.

What are RF Engineer IVs?

An RF Engineer IV is a senior-level radio frequency (RF) engineer responsible for designing, optimizing, and maintaining wireless communication systems. They handle complex tasks such as network planning, troubleshooting advanced RF issues, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Typically, they lead projects, mentor junior engineers, and interact with cross-functional teams to deliver high-performance wireless networks. Their expertise is critical in industries like telecommunications, aerospace, and defense.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an RF Engineer IV, and why are they important?

To thrive as an RF Engineer IV, you need advanced knowledge of radio frequency design, propagation, and optimization, typically backed by a degree in electrical engineering and several years of relevant experience. Expertise with simulation tools (such as Ansys HFSS, CST Microwave Studio), network analyzers, and industry-standard certifications (like FCC or IEEE) is highly valued. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication are critical soft skills for collaborating with multidisciplinary teams and explaining complex technical concepts. These competencies ensure robust RF system performance, regulatory compliance, and efficient project delivery in increasingly complex wireless environments.

Job description

York Space Systems was founded to radically improve spacecraft affordability and reliability, transforming, and enabling next- generation space mission operations worldwide. Today, York is one of the most innovative aerospace companies, specializing in end-to-end customer solutions and the rapid production of spacecraft platforms. York's complete Space Segment Solution includes spacecraft production, payload integration, system integration & test, launch services, ground segment services, and mission operations, enabling customers to leverage York's existing technology solutions to get to orbit rapidly and responsively. We're looking to expand our team across the board.
York Space Systems is looking for RF Engineers with 0-4 years of experience.
York RF Engineers work closely with our technology partners for detailed assessment of link budgets, coverage capabilities, and target link capabilities. The ideal candidate looks for opportunities to support satellite manufacturing at scale through detailed analyses of RF performance that enable proliferation and reuse of robust RF communication systems.
As an RF engineer at York, you will experience the full RF communication system life cycle from proposal to on-orbit commissioning, with a mixture of hands-on hardware activities and at the desk system engineering activities, directly contributing to making on-orbit RF links.
This is not a design role, but a system integrator role that is focused on working with our vendors and managing RF communication systems across their lifecycle.
RESPONSIBILITIES
  • Drive the full systems engineering development lifecycle for RF components and systems
  • Support company manufacturing-at-scale objectives by means of defining and enabling robust, cost-effective RF systems
  • Define how the organization implements RF communication system links
  • Determine RF component specifications in accordance with spacecraft designs, customer requirements, and industry standards
  • Act as an organization-wide resource for low-level RF physics & communications theory expertise
  • Verify and support radio waveform compatibility
  • Support on-orbit RF link anomaly resolution & commissioning activities
  • Support requirement decomposition and allocation regarding RF communication systems
  • Develop and maintain standard systems engineering products in support of major engineering program reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, PSR, etc.)
  • Improve fidelity of existing RF link analysis tools and implement new ones
  • Perform antenna co-interference simulations using 3D EM software tools
  • Support AIT through non-conformance disposition, as-run review, and master test procedure/plan reviews
  • May require some travel to support testing and launch

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS
  • Bachelor's Degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, or Wireless Communications related disciplines
  • Basic conceptual understanding of a basic link budget
  • Basic understanding of analog (antenna, amplifiers, filters, etc.) and digital (SDR, modulation, coding) domains
  • Ability to script using Python and work with version control systems (Git)
  • Must be self-accountable, have high attention for detail, and look forward to collaboration in a fast-paced team environment
  • Must have, or a willingness to obtain, a DoD Security Clearance

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
  • Applicants meeting one or more of the below criteria are preferred:
    • Experience in the design, development, and/or testing of RF communications systems or their components
    • Familiarity with commonly used satellite modulation and coding standards, (CCSDS, DVB-S2, etc.)
    • Basic understanding of common RF Test Equipment (VNAs, Spectrum Analyzers, etc.)
    • Active DoD Clearance

Benefits
In addition to compensation, York Space Systems is proud to offer a comprehensive benefits package including medical, dental, and vision insurance along with PTO and a 401K.
