From concept development to rapid prototyping and final integration, you'll have ample opportunity to enhance your skills across various technologies in a stimulating and fast-paced environment.
Primary Responsibilities:
- Design and realize cutting-edge front and back-end antenna systems, focusing on individual antennas, phased array antennas, RF circuits, and passive RF components.
- Utilize computational electromagnetic software to predict performance for various antenna types and apertures (HFSS, COMSOL, FEKO, SENTRI, CST, etc.).
- Develop antenna link budgets to define system requirements, calculate gain and losses, and optimize performance within project constraints.
- Design and integrate frequency selective surfaces (FSS) tailored for different radomes and radiating apertures.
- Implement low observable design techniques for radar cross-section mitigation as necessary.
- Explore new technologies and applications for antennas, radiating apertures, and RF systems.
- Conduct RF hardware testing focusing on metrics such as VSWR, insertion loss, gain, polarization, and radar cross-section (RCS).
- Collaborate with a diverse team to evaluate requirements, perform initial concept studies, and present findings to clients.
- Support proposals and contribute to new business opportunities through technical input.
- Provide direct engineering support to customers and end-users.
Basic Qualifications:
- Must be a U.S. Citizen.
- Current active Secret security clearance required, with the ability to obtain a Top-Secret clearance.
- Bachelor's degree in science or engineering with 8+ years of related experience, or an advanced degree with 6+ years of experience.
- Basic computer skills, including experience with MATLAB, LINUX/UNIX, and Windows.
- Proficiency in RF engineering fundamentals and antenna theory.
- Experience in designing antennas and passive RF components (i.e., radiating elements, radomes, power dividers).
- Hands-on experience using simulation tools like HFSS, COMSOL, FEKO, SENTRI, CST.
- Competency in RF antenna testing using network analyzers and anechoic chambers.
- Strong oral and written communication skills to convey technical information effectively.
- Able to work autonomously as well as part of a team.
- Some travel within the U.S. may be required.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Current active Top-Secret security clearance.
- Proficiency in MATLAB and Python for programming and data manipulation.
- Experience with computational electromagnetic (CEM) analytics and CAD manipulation.
- Familiarity with composite materials, additive manufacturing, adhesives, and coatings.
- Proven ability to lead RF projects and guide technical teams to achieve program goals.
- Knowledge of military and tactical communication systems and architectures.
If you're a visionary who thrives in a challenging environment and is excited about shaping the future of antenna technology, we want to hear from you!
At Leidos, we encourage creativity and out-of-the-box thinking to develop innovative solutions. Join us in pushing the boundaries beyond conventional engineering.
