Electrical Engineer (RF & Phased Array)
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 4, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 2, 2026.
We are seeking an Electrical Engineer to design high-density electronics for Satellite User Terminal applications. This role is deeply hands-on and spans schematic capture, PCB layout, bring-up, and production support. The engineer in this role will design mixed-signal, power, and digital circuitry in close coordination with RF, systems, mechanical, and manufacturing teams, contributing to system-level architecture decisions including power distribution, thermal strategy, and component selection. Successful candidates have delivered complex HDI PCBAs into production and are comfortable balancing performance, manufacturability, compliance, and cost.
Responsibilities
Design schematic and layout of mixed-signal, RF, power, and digital circuitry.
Contribute to system architecture decisions, including power networks, thermal management, and component selection.
Successful delivery of PCB/PCBA builds using HDI technology.
- Develop and execute PCBA test plans with an emphasis on International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) compliance and reliability across environmental conditions for an outdoor product.
Required Experience
Strong working knowledge and experience with schematic capture and layout of high-density PCBs in Orcad or Allegro
Working knowledge of signal integrity and power integrity
- 5+ years of hands-on experience in board-level design, bring-up, manufacturing, and testing
Experience with DFM/DFT/DFX
Experience with IPC standards for PCB manufacturing, assembly, and test
Established track record of designing and releasing electronics into production, ensuring manufacturability and cost efficiency
Demonstrated experience with general EE test equipment
Education
BSEE is required, MS is preferred
What Makes You Stand Out
Previous experience with HDI in high-reliability electronics
Working knowledge of RF design principles, including transmission line theory and practical implementation in PCB layout.
Experience testing complex digital, power, and RF systems, including active antenna modules or phased arrays
Experience in regulated industries such as aviation or automotive fields
Base Salary
- Final compensation package will include a competitive base salary, meaningful company stock options, and a comprehensive package of cash and non-cash benefits. The final package will be tailored to the candidate’s experience, impact, and role scope.
