What is a spatial engineering?

A Spatial Engineering job involves using geospatial data, technology, and engineering principles to analyze, design, and manage spatial systems. Professionals in this field work with geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and data modeling to solve environmental, urban planning, and infrastructure challenges. They often collaborate with engineers, scientists, and policymakers to optimize land use, transportation, and resource management. This role requires expertise in mapping, programming, and spatial analysis to support decision-making processes.

What are some typical projects and responsibilities for a spatial engineering professional?

Spatial Engineers are often involved in projects related to land development, urban planning, environmental monitoring, infrastructure design, and resource management. Daily responsibilities may include collecting and analyzing spatial data, creating digital maps or models, conducting site assessments, and collaborating with architects, planners, and construction teams to inform project decisions. They also play a key role in ensuring spatial data accuracy and integrating new technologies into project workflows. As you gain experience, many employers offer advancement opportunities into lead engineering, project management, or specialized consulting roles. This dynamic position is ideal for those who enjoy blending technology with real-world problem-solving in both office and field environments.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the spatial engineering position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Spatial Engineer, you need a solid background in geospatial analysis, mathematics, and civil or environmental engineering, often supported by a relevant STEM degree. Proficiency with GIS software (such as ArcGIS or QGIS), CAD tools, and familiarity with spatial data collection technologies like GPS are typically essential, along with certifications like GISP being advantageous. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication are key soft skills, as Spatial Engineers frequently collaborate across disciplines and present technical data to diverse audiences. These competencies are crucial for developing effective spatial solutions, ensuring project accuracy, and driving interdisciplinary project success.

What does a spatial engineer do?

A spatial engineer analyzes and interprets spatial data to support infrastructure, environmental, or urban planning projects. They use tools like GIS software and may work with geographic information systems, remote sensing, and mapping technologies to create accurate spatial models and solutions.

Cypress, CA

$161K - $170K/yr

Full-time

Re-posted 16 days ago


Job description

Our client is seeking an RF Spatial Engineer is responsible for designing, simulating, validating, and supporting high‑power RF and microwave subsystems used in mission‑critical aerospace, defense, and satellite communication applications. This role spans the full product lifecycle—from concept development and electromagnetic simulation through hardware design, prototype characterization, and production support.

You will work closely with cross‑functional engineering, manufacturing, test, and quality teams to ensure designs meet stringent performance, reliability, and environmental requirements. Your work directly impacts the performance and long‑term reliability of high‑frequency, high‑power systems deployed in demanding operational environments.

Onsite | No Visa Sponsorship | Relocation Assistance: Limited

Responsibilities:

  • Troubleshooting — Diagnose and resolve RF/microwave design, test, reliability, and manufacturing issues.
  • Component selection — Specify, source, and evaluate RF components for high‑power, high‑reliability applications.
  • RF/microwave architecture — Design quasi‑optical and spatial power‑combining architectures for high‑power RF systems.
  • Technology awareness — Stay current on emerging RF/microwave technologies and contribute to internal technology roadmaps.
  • Documentation & reporting — Prepare design reports, test results, root‑cause analyses, and manufacturing support documentation.
  • Cross‑functional collaboration — Work with mechanical, thermal, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure designs are robust and production‑ready.
  • NPI & production support — Support prototype builds, design reviews, manufacturability assessments, and issue resolution during production ramp‑up.
  • Circuit & subsystem design — Architect and model RF/microwave circuits including SSPAs, BUCs, converters, synthesizers, filters, mixers, and T/R modules.
  • Electromagnetic simulation — Perform EM, RF, and microwave simulations using ADS, AWR, HFSS, CST, and translate results into optimized hardware designs.
  • RF test & measurement — Develop test plans, configure measurement systems (VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, power meter), and characterize prototypes for gain, efficiency, noise figure, linearity, stability, and thermal behavior.

Qualifications (Must-Haves)

  • Proficiency with RF simulation tools: ADS, AWR, HFSS, CST.
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Physics, or related field.
  • Experience with high‑power RF subsystems such as SSPAs and BUCs.
  • Strong mathematical foundation including calculus and spatial reasoning.
  • Self‑motivated, detail‑oriented, and comfortable in a fast‑paced environment.
  • Ability to produce and interpret engineering documentation, test plans, and design reports.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across engineering and manufacturing teams.
  • 3+ years of hands‑on experience designing, simulating, building, and validating RF/microwave hardware.
  • Hands‑on experience with RF test equipment: VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, oscilloscope, power meter.

Preferred Skills:

  • Background in high‑reliability or environmentally ruggedized RF hardware.
  • Experience supporting NPI, production ramp, or manufacturability assessments
  • Experience with aerospace, defense, satellite communications, EW, or radar systems.

Work Environment:

  • Collaboration with engineering, manufacturing, test, and quality teams.
  • Occasional hands‑on lab work involving RF/microwave test equipment.
