🚀 Responsibilities:

• Define and own the system architecture for spherical near-field and multi-probe antenna measurement systems.
• Lead the technical execution of Engineering Work Packages across Mechanical, RF, Software, Chamber, Absorber, and Instrumentation disciplines.
• - Drive the translation of customer requirements into compliant, optimized measurement system solutions aligned with performance, quality, schedule, and cost objectives.
• - Ensure system alignment with antenna measurement standards, including IEEE 149 and IEEE 1720, as well as measurement accuracy, repeatability, and overall performance goals.
• - Manage technical quality gates including PDR, CDR, FDR, ATP, and SAT, ensuring readiness, traceability, and compliance.
• - Collaborate with the Program Manager as the senior technical partner, supporting technical leadership, risk mitigation, and decision-making.
• - Implement configuration management, version control, BOM consistency, and technical traceability across the full system lifecycle.

✅ Requirements:

• - Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, RF Engineering, or a closely related discipline.
• - Minimum 4 years of experience in system engineering for antenna measurement systems or RF test systems.
• - Strong background in antenna measurement systems, including system architecture, integration, and validation.
• - Knowledge of IEEE 149 and IEEE 1720 antenna measurement standards.
• - Proven experience leading system-level technical execution in regulated environments.
• - Ability to act as the primary technical point of contact for customers, with excellent communication and customer-facing skills.
• - Willingness to travel up to 25% of the time and ability to comply with U.S. export control requirements as a U.S. Person under ITAR/EAR regulations.

🌟 Nice to Have:

• - Experience with spherical near-field and/or multi-probe measurement systems.
• - Understanding of near-field to far-field transformations and measurement uncertainty concepts.
• - Experience working with defense or space customers and familiarity with ECSS, MILSTD, or equivalent standards.
• - Proficiency with Matlab, EM simulation tools, and/or SystemVue, plus experience using PDM/PLM systems for configuration management and complex BOM control.
