Position Summary & Responsibilities

The RF Payload team at Logos Space works on turning system and network requirements into trades, trades into executable designs and then designs, implements, integrates, tests and matures the designs to production quality. The Sr. RF systems engineer is responsible for ensuring the success of our network by working through a complex design space from antenna till the inputs to our digital baseband systems (full RF chain analysis). The analysis and modeling of the trade spaces and executable designs of multiple payloads falls within the purview of the RF Payload team with the Sr. RF Systems Engineer taking a lead role. The Sr. RF Systems Engineer will support both bus and payload activities from the idea stage to flight.

You should be prepared to work and thrive in a fast moving environment where you are comfortable taking vague design ideas and turning them into tangible hardware ready for test and flight. We are seeking engineers who love to solve hard problems! Must be comfortable working with high performers at a fast pace to solve these hard problems.

• Design and test strategies throughout the design life cycle. Responsible for the overall executable link budgets - i.e. mapping the system link budget to realizable hardware - including, but not limited to, finding COTS parts or specifying and working with partners to build custom parts
• Responsible for the integrity of the RF system design through significant analysis and lab based verification of component technologies
• Responsible for working with multiple payload teams to translate the executable link budgets and analyses to system designs that can be implemented, integrated and flown in their simplest forms while meeting specifications
• Own quality of design and predictable outcomes through significant lab work throughout the program life cycle, The RF systems engineer must set the tone and culture of lab and data driven analysis, design, integration and test for the RF Payload team
• Write and own technical documents for the RF systems designs, function and performance, integration and system testing

Basic Qualifications

Education:

Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on RF systems and circuit designs, EMI / EMC, antenna systems etc.

Experience

• A minimum of 5 years experience in full system designs either in the satellite RF payload domain or wireless networking domain with an ability to own and handle large designs
• Professional experience with satellite RF payload designs
• Understanding and deep knowledgeable of RF systems and best practices in conceiving and designing them
• Hands on hardware experience (assembly, integration, and test) in either professional or academic settings with an ease to handle driver firmware etc.
• Experience in design and validation for operation in the launch and space environment
• Knowledge/understanding of MIL-46, FCC Parts-25 etc., 3GPP compliance specs etc.
• Proven track record of working with antenna engineers, ASIC / RFIC engineers, DSP engineers through the entire product life cycle. Starting from conceptual designs and trade-offs through detailed design, development, manufacturing, integration, testing, deployment, and operations in a team setting.
• Self-motivated with strong organizational, written, and oral communication skills

Preferred Qualifications

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering with a focus on RF systems and circuit designs, EM theory, complex antenna systems 
• 10+ years experience doing RF system designs for complex payloads or products from concept to volume production
• Demonstrated understanding of satellite and terrestrial wireless systems with specific emphasis on mmWave systems and how to design them for production success
• Demonstrated understanding of phased arrays,Power amplifiers, Low Noise amplifiers, Corporate feed networks, time and phase synchronization for such systems etc.
