Main Responsibilities

• Architect and lead the design of antenna and RF systems for Ku- and Ka-band SatCom terminal products
• Oversee the design and development of various types of Ku- and Ka-band antenna apertures for SatCom terminal applications
• Utilize advanced simulation software and physical modeling to conduct in-depth antenna analyses for design optimization and trade-offs
• Develop and generate design documents and technical packages to support contract manufacturers in prototype fabrication
• Lead the drafting of test plans for RF and antenna modules, ensuring thorough design verification test (DVT) campaigns
• Establish and manage RF lab facilities, coordinating and conducting RF and antenna tests, measurements, and characterization
• Design RF and antenna test setups and develop necessary testing fixtures to ensure accurate measurements
• Write and manage scripting languages to automate testing processes for improved efficiency and accuracy
• Create and review comprehensive antenna and RF test reports, ensuring data accuracy and clarity
• Lead cross-functional engineering teams to review and approve antenna system designs, ensuring alignment with overall product goals
• Support production ramp-up by providing technical guidance to manufacturing partners for prototypes and volume production
• Provide expert engineering analysis and define system specifications for Electronically Steered Antennas (ESA), incorporating radiating elements, beamforming chips, polarizers, and radomes
• Calculate and estimate AESA design features and performance parameters, including radiator types, element count, beam scan range, G/T, and EIRP, based on customer specifications
• Design, optimize, and develop AESA antennas and associated components such as polarizers and radomes, using advanced simulations followed by prototyping and validation through measurements
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure the integration of beamforming MMIC chips, polarizers, radomes, and controllers in ESA systems, providing high-level technical oversight
