Electronics Engineer

The Directed Energy Research Center is seeking a motivated Electronics Engineer to join the company and contribute to the development and implementation of a spaceborne SAR payload. The candidate will be involved in HW/RF subsystem design, testing, and integration for spaceborne SAR payloads. The position entails work on digital electronics, HW/RF chain, and telemetry/control subsystems for a radar payload.

Job Responsibilities:

• Assist in the design and analysis of HW/RF subsystems for SAR payloads, including the transmit/receive chain for the radar front-end.
• Perform HW/RF simulations and modeling.
• Support laboratory RF testing and measurements using network analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and signal generators.
• Contribute to the integration of HW/RF components into the larger SAR system architecture.
• Assist with HW/RF system-level testing and anomaly investigations.
• Work closely with senior engineers to validate HW/RF subsystem performance through simulations and testing.
• Interpret electronic schematics, circuit diagrams, and technical drawings, selecting appropriate electronic components.
• Support the development and documentation of test procedures, data analysis reports, and HW/RF validation summaries.
• Collaborate with digital, software, AIT, and systems engineers to ensure cross-domain integration of SAR payload.
• Stay informed about emerging SAR technologies and trends relevant to space applications.
• Participate in technical reviews and design discussions related to HW/RF and SAR development.

Qualifications and Experience:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electronics or Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• Strong academic or practical experience in HW/RF engineering.
• Familiarity with key HW/RF tools and test equipment (e.g., VNA, SA, Oscilloscope, etc.).
• Basic knowledge of radar principles, especially in the context of SAR.
• Exposure to simulation tools such as CST, HFSS, Keysight ADS, or ALTIUM.
• Understanding of HW/RF design principles.
• Passionate about Remote Sensing Space Programs.
• Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and ability to work independently.
• Excellent teamwork and communication skills.
• Willingness to learn and grow in a high-tech, research-driven environment.

Diversity and Inclusion:
At the company, we embrace diversity, recognizing that a multitude of backgrounds, skills, and experiences drive innovation and success.
