Antenna/RF Engineer

Numerica is seeking Antenna/RF Engineers who excel at developing state-of-the art integrated RF systems to deliver powerful new sensing and communication capabilities. Working in small innovative teams, our engineers build solutions that make a difference. Our research endeavors don’t end once we’ve written a journal or conference paper describing our technology; rather, our work is complete when our technology has been deployed in mission-critical systems and our customers within government and industry are successful. As science fiction writer Arthur Clarke wrote, “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” Numerica is seeking talented “magicians” to join in our common struggle and expand the boundaries of what’s possible.

What You Will Do:

• Develop revolutionary radar technology that delights our customers;
• Perform antenna design, microwave circuit design and measurement, link analysis, analog circuit design, and RF signal processing;
• Integrate custom and off-the-shelf hardware components for testing and deployment;
• Create alignment across algorithms, software, and hardware in our radar products;
• Contribute to the direction of a talented small team with your expertise and ideas;
• Engage with customers, to ensure successful outcomes for their mission-critical needs;
• Help your colleagues and customers understand what you’re doing and why.

Recommended Background and Experience:

• An Antenna/RF Engineer at Numerica should possess an advanced degree (M.S. or higher, ideally) in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
• An Antenna/RF Engineer should have a record of academic excellence and demonstrated experience in most of the following areas:
  • Antenna design and analysis: Antenna layout and tuning; feed design; impedance matching; computational analysis in HFSS, COMSOL, CST Momentum, or similar CEM package;
  • RF design and analysis: Microstrip circuit design; RF layout and simulation via ADS, Microwave Office, or similar RF layout and analysis tool; phased array design experience is a major plus;
  • Antenna and RF testing: Network analyzer S-parameter characterization; antenna pattern measurement.
• An Antenna/RF Engineer at Numerica ideally will have conducted radar/RF system research and development, either in graduate school or industry.
• An Antenna/RF Engineer should have effective written and verbal communication skills, with the demonstrated ability to convey salient details about advanced technology in a compelling manner to both experts and non-experts alike.

Salary range:  $80,900-$164,300 estimated annual base salary plus incentives
