Antenna System Architect
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 28, 2026. First seen by Alion on Oct 26, 2026.
Shape the architecture behind next-generation antenna systems, from concepts and system requirements to scalable technology platforms.
At Weibel, you will become part of a growing, technology-driven company where curiosity, innovation, and dedication are the foundation of our global success. We develop and manufacture high-performance radar systems at our in-house production facilities, enabling us to explore new solutions while maintaining uncompromising quality. Our greatest asset is our talented employees, who continuously advance our market-leading radar solutions for applications such as air surveillance and precision tracking.
We are strengthening our Antenna R&D Group and are looking for an Antenna System Architect to join us as we enter a new phase of growth.
About the position
As our new colleague, you will lead the definition and evolution of our radar antenna system architectures, setting technical direction from early concept development through verification and deployment. You will work closely with our systems engineering teams and hardware designers across RF, analog, digital, and mechanical disciplines to ensure architectural coherence and the desired system-level performance.
Your primary responsibilities include:
- Developing and owning radar antenna system architectures, including system decomposition, architectural trade-off analyses, and evaluation of transmitter and receiver front-end concepts.
- Driving technical alignment across engineering teams, manufacturing representatives, and project management while ensuring compliance with applicable standards.
- Requirements engineering, including derivation and allocation of system requirements and computation of link and power budgets.
- Defining technology roadmaps and platform strategies to enable scalable and reusable solutions while safeguarding architectural integrity across future radar platforms.
This is an exciting opportunity to influence the architectural foundation of Weibel's radar portfolio and drive the evolution of next-generation antenna systems.
About you
You have experience working in an agile environment, where you work both independently and in close collaboration with your team and cross-functional stakeholders. You value continuous learning and are comfortable operating in a dynamic R&D setting with multiple parallel activities, some requiring immediate attention and others progressing through structured project plans.
Your qualifications should include:
- An M.Sc. or PhD degree in Electrical Engineering, Systems Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Physics, or a related field.
- Proven ability to define system architectures, perform technical trade-offs, and guide engineering decisions across multiple disciplines.
- Experience with RF, microwave, or mixed-signal systems development and a solid understanding of the complete product development lifecycle.
- Familiarity with regulatory requirements (e.g., radio and EMC) and military standards applied in mission-critical industries.
- Strong communication skills in English, both written and spoken.
Experience with systems engineering methodologies such as MBSE and SysML, and related tools such as Enterprise Architect, is considered an advantage. In addition, you are comfortable leveraging AI-assisted tools to improve engineering efficiency and quality.
Your new team
Our team consists of more than 10 engaged colleagues whose experience ranges from a few years to more than 35 years of hands-on radar engineering expertise. The team is part of our broader cross-functional Antenna R&D Group, bringing together architects and design specialists across RF, analog, digital, and mechanical domains to deliver cutting-edge radar technology.
