Description
Ready to make connectivity from space universally accessible, secure and actionable? Then you’ve come to the right place!
E-Space is bridging Earth and space to enable hyper-scaled deployments of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and services. We are building a highly-advanced low Earth orbit (LEO) space system that will fundamentally change the design, economics, manufacturing and service delivery associated with traditional satellite and terrestrial IoT systems.
We’re intentional, we’re unapologetically curious and we’re 100% committed to innovate space-based communications and deliver actionable intelligence that will expand global economies, protect space and our planet and enhance our overall quality of life.
As a Senior Antenna Design Engineer, you will own the end-to-end design, simulation, and validation of advanced antenna systems for E-Space’s LEO satellite constellation and ground infrastructure. You are expected to independently design antennas using full-wave electromagnetic simulation tools, with HFSS as a primary design environment, and drive designs from concept through hardware validation.
This is a full time, exempt position, based out of our Saratoga office. The target base pay for this position is $150,000 - $200,000 annually. The total compensation packaged will be determined by various factors such as your relevant job-related knowledge, skills, and experience.
We are redefining how satellites are designed, manufactured and used—so we’re looking for candidates with passion, deep knowledge and direct experience on LEO satellite component development, design and in-orbit activities. If that’s your experience – then we’ll be immediately wow-ed.
E-Space is not currently able to provide employment sponsorship for candidates who do not hold work authorization for the location of this role.
Why E-Space is right for you:
As a member of our team, you will play a crucial role in driving our success. Our team members have a strong sense of dedication and responsibility; this includes a strong commitment to our mission to create an entirely new suite of global capabilities to improve lives, business efficiencies and build a smarter planet. This means that there will be times when extra hours, including nights and weekends, may be needed to meet critical deadlines and mission goals. In return, we offer a dynamic work environment with opportunities for professional growth and development and the chance to make a meaningful impact in a high-growth industry.
We want you to make the most of your journey at E-Space. That’s why we support and invest in the physical, emotional and financial well-being of our team members and their families. Some of what you can expect when working at E-Space:
• An opportunity to really make a difference
• Sustainability at our core
• Fair and honest workplace
• Innovative thinking is encouraged
• Competitive salaries
• Continuous learning and development
• Health and wellness care options
• Financial solutions for the future
• Optional legal services (US only)
• Paid holidays
• Paid time off
What you will do:
Lead and grow a multidisciplinary team of antenna/RF design and RF test engineers and technicians.
Own radiating-element RF design — element geometry, impedance and match, polarization, and bandwidth across a wide operating band.
Own array layout and dimensioning, and array-level RF performance — gain, pattern, and sensitivity to surface accuracy.
Own the element-level electrical and electronics design that drives each radiating element.
Direct the RF test function — element, array, and module characterization; test planning; and acceptance criteria.
Hold the subsystem's RF and electrical requirements, budgets, and verification, and close them through analysis and test.
Partner with adjacent communications, avionics, mechanical/structures, and integration & test teams across the program.
Support environmental and deployment testing of the integrated antenna.
What you bring to this role:
BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related field.
Lead- or Staff-level antenna/RF engineer with phased-array hardware experience (element and array design).
Experience with RF front-end or module-level electronics.
Demonstrated RF test leadership — characterization, test planning, and acceptance.
Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Bonus Points:
Wideband VHF/UHF antenna experience (spiral or comparable broadband elements).
Space or flight RF hardware experience, including environmental qualification (thermal-vacuum, vibration, radiation, EMC).
Experience with space structures.
Experience supporting integration and test of flight hardware.
