• Lead complex RF and Phased Array development including research, detailed design, and analysis for exquisite space-qualified Phased Arrays.
• Drive multi-disciplinary engineering teams through early lifecycle milestones and reviews, including Capture / Pursuits, Technical Baselines (TBR), BOE Proposals, Program Startups, System Requirements (SRR), System Designs (SDR), and Preliminary Design Reviews (PDR).
• Champion Internal Research and Design (IRAD) initiatives and conduct technical trade studies to influence tactical and strategic decisions for senior leadership.
• Research industry trends to develop phased array and RF roadmaps, utilizing the latest innovative technologies to advance RF hardware capabilities while simultaneously reducing SWaP-C (size, weight, power and cost).
• Support customer pursuits for Phased Arrays with business development and support Basis of Estimates (BOE) Proposals to capture program awards while ensuring success in technical performance, cost, and schedule.
• Collaborate with customers, technical experts, and program leadership to align Phased Array and RF performance requirements with all stakeholders.
• Provide mentorship, guidance, and leadership to fellow engineers.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s Degree and a minimum of 15 years of prior relevant experience (Accredited course of study in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, or another relevant STEM field.). Graduate Degree and a minimum of 13 years of prior related experience. In lieu of a degree, minimum of 19 years of prior related experience. 
• Experience with Digital and Analog Phased Array design for multi-beam AESAs and ESAs.
• Experience with detailed design of Phased Array RF performance through RF Link Budget analysis, RF cascade analysis (gain, noise figure, linearity, noise power, etc.), Signal Analysis (Eb/No, BER vs. noise, receiver sensitivity), S-parameters, matching networks, filtering (bandwidth, types, implementations, etc.), nonlinear effects and their remedies (intermodulation, IP3, IP2, group delay variation, dynamic range), temperature effects, and isolation.
• Experience with RF performance characteristics of both passive and active components such as amplifiers, oscillators, attenuators, mixers, filters, splitters, couplers, phase shifters, VCOs, PLLs, etc.
• RF hardware design experience for electromagnetics in the RF spectrum, including VHF, UHF, and microwave applications in the L, S, C, X, Ku, Ka, and V bands.
• Advanced user of RF simulation and analysis tools including ADS, HFSS, SystemVue, MATLAB, and other ECAD design tools.
