Antenna Engineer

You will develop antennas and antenna arrays for Reach state-of-the-art wireless power delivery system. Your technical know-how and innovation skills are key to designing cutting-edge products in a fast-paced environment. You will work with other engineers to integrate antenna and antenna arrays in our system. This position requires hands-on experience and strong analytical skills to design, implement, test, and troubleshoot complex use cases of a complex, first-of-its kind system. It also requires experience in integration with complex software algorithms.

Key Position Responsibilities

• Design and implement antenna, antenna arrays for high frequency of operation from 2.4GHz to 24GHz.
• Investigate, study, and introduce new antenna designs and components. Research new approaches and techniques for future product versions.
• Perform computer simulations and PCB antenna prototyping.
• Collaborate with PM/Mechanical/RF/EE teams to define antenna requirements and performance goals.
• Perform board level and product level EM simulations for best-in-class transmission performance, spatial co-existence, and emissions.
• Product design documentation using Reach PLM system.
• Own antenna design for manufacturability.
• Collaborate with other engineers to perform system bring up and system test.
• Support certification and regulatory testing. Support field testing.
• Write validation test plans for antenna and antenna arrays.

Qualities & Experience

• MS degree in electrical engineering (PhD preferred).
• 3-5 year hands-on experience in developing antennas, and antenna arrays.
• Fluent with EM simulation software (HFSS and HFSS SBR+), CST, and circuit simulation tools, such as Keysight ADS.
• Hands-on experience with RF lab equipment for RF device and antenna characterization and system performance validation, such as VNA and spectrum analyzer.
• A system thinker that can define and design antennas and antenna arrays.
• Experience with mmWave phased array or adaptive antenna design.
• Experience with metamaterials implementation.
• Experience with bring up and troubleshooting of high-power microwave chains, beam forming and steering systems.
• Familiar with the design process from concept through board development and system integration for high volume production (DFM/DFMA).
• In-depth understanding of safety EMI and EMC compliance and certification.
• Ability to work cross-functionally.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to communicate effectively complex concepts.
• Results- and deadline- driven.
• Able to work independently with little direction.
• Takes great pride and ownership in developing products.
