Top Secret security clearance is required. SCI preferred
· The candidate will work in a senior technical role on National Security Systems (NSS) programs.
· This position focuses on development of new systems and concepts through production of flight programs. As a principal engineer, the candidate will lead new development activities to solve complex antenna design, performance, manufacturing and test issues. The candidate will work in a team environment to define and describe robust RF solutions to challenging applications while working within system constraints on mass, power, and volume. The successful candidate will have strong technical skills, ability to organize and direct the efforts of a small engineering team, and demonstrated motivation to investigate new concepts. In particular, the candidate will be involved in
- Design, analysis and development of space-qualified antenna solutions for geostationary communications satellites operating in the 1 to 30 GHz range. Work closely with mechanical engineering team to ensure the ideal RF solution is also manufacturable and testable.
- Requirements flow-down from top-level customer document through subsystem-level definition to component-level specification. The candidate is expected to produce clear, concisely written documents that will be used as the technical basis for high dollar value procurements.
- Prepare and present design reviews for internal and external customers. The candidate will have regular interaction with the internal engineering and program management team as well as the external customer.
- Subcontractor management (some travel required) and manufacturing interface definition including performance specification, interface control drawing, statement of work and test plan/procedure generation. The candidate will work closely with potential subcontractors to ensure any technical solution meets the top-level customer's needs while satisfying system and program constraints.
- After transition from concept to production program, the candidate may also support ongoing technical interface with the subcontractors during antenna manufacturing, as well as integration and test of the antenna system including unit-level range and environmental testing, spacecraft level range testing, and in-orbit checkout.
Requirements:
· Active TS/SCI security clearance
· Experience leading small engineering teams in development or production of antenna systems
· Satellite shaped-reflector antenna and RF feed assembly design and analysis, including computer modeling and design of antenna radiation patterns with associated software design tools (GRASP, POS, CHAMP, SATSOFT, HFSS, WIZARD).
· Strong skills in Microsoft Office and engineering analysis software such as MATLAB or Mathcad
· Ability to work with others from engineering and non-engineering disciplines in a fast-paced team environment
· Ability to write technical documents clearly and concisely.
· Good oral presentation skills and comfort with customer interaction.
Preferred Qualifications:
· Advanced degree (MS or PhD)
· Experience with antenna range testing and data post-processing, such as Far-Field, Near-Field, and/or Compact Range systems
· Familiar with cost account management concepts, including cost and labor estimation, task scheduling and earned value tracking
Education/Experience:
· A Bachelors Degree (BA/BS) in Chemistry, Engineering, Math, or Physics with some combination of the following course work: microwave theory, satellite communications, radio-wave propagation, electromagnetics, antennas. Good understanding of communications and microwave theory
· Twelve years of related experience is required.
