Our high-performance radars work in all weather and are designed for autonomous vehicles, uncrewed aircraft & drones, and security of borders, critical infrastructure, and smart cities. The company combines the patented technology of metamaterials with powerful software to create a radar sensor with unprecedented performance at commercial price points. Echodyne offers its radars to companies working in Automotive, Transportation, Critical Infrastructure Protection, Border Security, Smart Cities, Uncrewed Aircraft Systems (UAS), and Airspace Management including Urban Air Mobility (UTM).\nEchodyne is seeking a Sr. Antenna Production Engineer to join our fast-growing team. \nROLE OVERVIEW\nWe are seeking an Sr. Antenna Production Engineer to help transition our proprietary antenna technology into manufacturable MESA radar hardware. This role works closely with RF, Electromagnetics, PCB, Component Engineering, and Manufacturing/Test.\nThe primary focus is antenna industrialization: translating antenna concepts and designs into practical product implementations through antenna-to-PCB integration, prototype validation, tolerance analysis, measurement correlation, supplier interaction, and production-readiness.\nExperience with RF subsystem, Antenna-in-Package, advanced packaging, or RFIC-related development is a strong plus, but the core mission is to help make antenna technology manufacturable, testable, and scalable.\nRESPONSIBILITIES\nSupport antenna production for MESA radar antenna hardware\nTranslate antenna concepts and prototype designs into production-ready implementation\nWork with RF engineers on array antenna/RF chain integration, impedance matching, calibration impact, and radar-level performance\nCollaborate with PCB Engineering, suppliers, and manufacturing on antenna-aware stack-up, layout, materials, fabrication, assembly, packaging, and test readiness\nSupport antenna DFM/DFT, tolerance analysis, manufacturability reviews, and validation using VNA, chamber/range, and OTA test methods\nCorrelate simulation and measured data to assess design risks, improvement areas, implementation options, and cost/performance tradeoffs\nREQUIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE\nExperience with phased-array radar, SATCOM, RF/microwave wireless systems, RF sensor networks, or active antenna arrays\nBS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Electromagnetics, RF/Microwave Engineering, or related field\n5+ years of experience or more in antenna, RF, radar, wireless hardware, phased-array, or microwave system development\nUnderstanding of antenna fundamentals, including radiation patterns, gain, efficiency, polarization, impedance matching, coupling, and array behavior\nHands-on experience with RF or antenna measurement equipment such as VNA, spectrum analyzer, signal generator, chamber/range, or OTA test setup\nFamiliarity with EM simulation tools such as HFSS, CST, FEKO, ADS, or equivalent\nPractical understanding of PCB stackups, RF materials, feed routing, vias, transitions, grounding, and shielding and the manufacturability implications of each\nAbility to work cross-functionally with RF, EM, PCB, component, mechanical, manufacturing, and test teams\nDESIRED SKILLS / EXPERIENCE (Looking for one or more as a complement to the core skills) \nExperience transitioning antenna or RF designs from prototype toward product hardware\nExposure to Antenna-in-Package, antenna-on-package, high frequency substrates, interposers, or advanced RF packaging\nUnderstanding of RFIC/package parasitics and package-to-antenna interactions\nExperience with active component placement near antenna structures\nPython, MATLAB, or similar scripting experience for data analysis, measurement automation, or simulation post-processing\nEchodyne’s technology is export controlled by the U.S. Government and we must evaluate an applicant’s eligibility to handle export-controlled information or obtain required Government authorizations. Therefore, we will ask you as part of the application process to identify whether you are a U.S. Citizen or green card holder, or have asylum/refugee status in the U.S. \nWHAT WE OFFER\nThis is an exempt role.\nThe expected annual salary range for this role is\n$137,196—$205,382 USD\nIf your skills generally align but not perfectly, please apply anyway.
