The RF Antenna Senior Engineer is responsible for design, development, integration, and validation of RF, microwave, and antenna subsystems for Aerospace Defence platforms. The role requires strong hands-on design capability, ownership of assigned subsystems, and close collaboration with system, mechanical, and EMI/EMC teams.

; Key Responsibilities
Antenna Design Integration
Design and optimize antennas including:
Wideband and multiband antennas
Array and sub-array antennas
Radar, EW, Satcom, GPS, IFF, and data link antennas
Perform antenna placement and integration studies on platforms
Analyze coupling, isolation, and radiation pattern distortion
Support radome and RF-transparent structure evaluation

; RF Microwave Design
Design and analyze RF subsystems:
LNAs, PAs, filters, switches, couplers
T/R modules, beamforming networks
Perform RF chain analysis (gain, NF, IP3, P1dB, spurious)
Support schematic, layout review, and design validation

; Simulation Analysis
Perform EM simulation using HFSS, CST, FEKO
RF circuit simulation using ADS / AWR




Correlate simulation and measurement results
Conduct trade-off studies considering SWaP-C constraints

; Measurement Validation
Carry out antenna and RF testing:
VNA-based S-parameter measurements
Anechoic chamber measurements (gain, pattern, polarization)
RF performance testing (linearity, harmonics, spurs)
Support EMI/EMC, environmental, and qualification tests

; Aerospace Defence Compliance
Support compliance to MIL-STD, DO-160, DEF-STAN requirements
Prepare technical documents, test procedures, and reports
Participate in design reviews (PDR, CDR, TRR)

; Collaboration Execution
Work closely with system engineering, mechanical, thermal, and EMI/EMC teams
Support manufacturing, integration, and field issue resolution
Interface with customers and internal stakeholders for technical clarifications

; Required Skills Qualifications
