We are seeking a motivated and skilled Antenna Design Engineer to join our RF engineering team. You will be responsible for the design, simulation, and hardware verification of antenna systems ranging from for various terrestrial as well as space applications. The ideal candidate should have a solid grasp of electromagnetic theory and should have significant experience in designing antennas, transmission lines for real-world problems.
Key Responsibilities
Design & Modeling: Design and optimize antennas for space, terrestrial and phased array applications using Ansys HFSS
Full-Wave Simulation: Perform Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations to analyze S-parameters, gain, radiation patterns, and efficiency
Impedance Matching: Design matching networks using Smith Charts and circuit simulation tools (like QUCS) to ensure maximum power transfer
Prototyping: Work with PCB designers to translate EM models into physical layouts
Testing & Validation: Conduct hands-on measurements using Vector Network Analyzers (VNA)
and characterize radiation patterns in Anechoic Chambers
