Position Summary & Responsibilities

Join our dynamic team as an RF Systems Engineer, where you will play a key role in defining, analyzing, and validating the RF system architecture for our next-generation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite systems. You will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure the integration of highly efficient RF components and subsystems, optimizing the overall performance of the satellite communication system.This role demands both technical expertise in RF systems and a hands-on approach to solving complex problems. You will be responsible for translating system-level requirements into detailed RF designs, performing link budget analyses, and contributing to the development and testing of cutting-edge RF technologies.
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in RF engineering, end-to-end RF system architecture, and integration of communication subsystems.

As an RF Systems Engineer on the Logos team, you will play a critical role in the definition, analysis, and validation of our LEO satellite system architecture. From high-level system requirements down to integration and performance evaluation, you will help ensure the system delivers reliable and optimized RF performance. In this role, you will:

  • Define RF system architecture and lead flow-down of top-level requirements across subsystem blocks
  • Collaborate across teams working on antennas, RF front-ends, baseband, and digital interfaces to ensure seamless system integration
  • Perform RF link budget analysis, simulations, and trades to validate architectural decisions
  • Drive development and traceability of system-level requirements, ensuring alignment from concept to deployment
  • Analyze test data, support troubleshooting, and contribute to verification and validation activities
  • Document technical work and contribute to system-level design reviews and external deliverables

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a STEM field (Science, Technology, Engineering, or Math) with relevant design and analysis work experience
  • 5+ years of experience in RF systems engineering for satellite or aerospace communication systems
  •  In-depth understanding of RF propagation, link budgets, and system-level RF architecture
  • Experience collaborating across hardware, RF, and digital systems teams
  • Proficiency with simulation and analysis tools such as MATLAB, SystemVue, or similar
  • Strong communication skills for technical documentation and team collaboration

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master’s or PhD in Electrical Engineering or Systems Engineering
  • Experience with LEO satellite communications systems and high-throughput payloads
  • Familiarity with antenna array design, beamforming, or digital pre-distortion techniques
  • Experience in writing, managing, and tracing system and interface requirements
  • Hands-on experience in test, integration, or field deployment of RF systems
  • Familiarity with Ka- or V-band systems and advanced modulation schemes
