In this role, you will take advanced antenna concepts from electromagnetic simulation through hardware integration and test range characterization. You will collaborate closely with cross-functional RF, mechanical and systems teams to deliver compact, ultra-efficient antenna solutions built for extreme environments.\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign, simulate and optimize custom single-element, array and wideband antennas (microstrip patch, aperture-coupled, cavity-backed spiral, horn, slot and planar architectures).\nExecute high-fidelity EM simulations using ANSYS HFSS, CST or FEKO to optimize gain, efficiency, radiation pattern, axial ratio, bandwidth and isolation.\nArchitect multi-polarization topologies including linear, dual-linear and dual circular polarization and design matching networks, feeds and power splitters.\nCharacterize antenna performance using VNAs, anechoic chambers and near-field/far-field measurement systems (S-parameters, VSWR, gain, radiation patterns, ECC).\nIntegrate antenna systems with RF front-end while minimizing mutual coupling, EMI/EMC issues and thermal/environmental detuning.\nProvide critical input on RF PCB stack-ups, component placement, grounding, shielding and trace impedance control.\nTroubleshoot complex RF/antenna performance anomalies during prototype testing and integration.\nCollaborate with RF, mechanical and systems teams to meet tight SWaP constraints.\nGenerate technical documentation, simulation and test procedures to support design reviews.\nRequired Qualifications\nBachelor’s degree in Electronics, Communication, RF/Microwave Engineering, or a related field.\n4-6 years of hands-on experience in antenna design, EM simulation and laboratory testing.\nAdvanced proficiency with industry-standard 3D EM software (ANSYS HFSS, CST etc.).\nStrong foundation in electromagnetic theory, transmission lines, Smith Chart analysis and antenna metrics (gain, efficiency, axial ratio, return loss).\nDemonstrated experience operating VNAs, analyzers and anechoic test ranges.\nSolid understanding of RF PCB design rules, microstrip/strip line layout and board-level integration.\nPreferred Qualifications\nMasters in RF, Microwave or Electromagnetics.\nDirect experience with space-grade antenna design, satellite payloads, defense platforms or radar systems.\nExperience with phased arrays, beamforming, MIMO systems, or ultra-wideband (UWB) cavity-backed antennas.\nFamiliarity with RF front-end components (LNAs, Power Amplifiers, duplexers, filters) and system-level EMI/EMC mitigation.\nKnowledge of MATLAB or Python for automated measurement control and post-processing of simulation data.\nAbout ULOOK\nULOOK is a deep-tech company pioneering an Indigenous Autonomous RF-Intelligence Stack from orbit. We develop autonomous satellite swarms and advance RF sensing technologies which transform faint electromagnetic emissions into real-time intelligence. We operate at the intersection of defense, space, and intelligence, providing global partners with unmatched situational awareness across all domains.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3361,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":4,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T13:59:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":42,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.77,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":30,"expected_fill_days":24,"reasons":["conf:1","velocity","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-30T05:48:23Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ulook-antenna-design-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ulook-antenna-design-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T04:54:12Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6867,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4401608},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4401608"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fulook-antenna-design-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fulook-antenna-design-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fulook-antenna-design-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ulook-antenna-design-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fulook-antenna-design-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3336408}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ulook.space","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3336408},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
