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

Technical Skills

Strong fundamentals in RF, microwave, and antenna engineering

Experience with phased arrays or platform-integrated antennas is an advantage

Good understanding of EMI/EMC and grounding concepts

Hands-on experience with RF lab equipment

; Tools

EM tools: HFSS, CST, FEKO

RF tools: ADS, AWR

Measurement: VNA, Spectrum Analyzer, Power Meter

; Education

BE/BTech or ME/MTech in ECE / RF Microwave / Antenna Engineering

Aerospace Defence project experience preferred

; Behavioral Skilled Skills

Strong analytical and debugging skills

Ability to independently own RF/antenna tasks

Good communication and documentation skills

Mentoring junior engineers (added advantage)
