Full job description
Wanna join the adventure? As our new RF AIT (Radio Frequency Assembly, Integration, and Test) Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the development, assembly, integration, and testing of RF (Radio Frequency) systems and components for Loft space missions. This role requires a strong background in RF engineering, electrical engineering, and space technology.
Lead the assembly and integration of RF subsystems and components into the spacecraft.
Ensure proper installation, wiring, and connectivity of RF hardware according to design specifications.
Develop test plans and procedures for RF systems and components.
Conduct comprehensive RF tests to verify system performance, including sensitivity, signal-to-noise ratio, and frequency response.
Troubleshoot and resolve RF hardware issues during testing.
Prepare RF hardware for environmental testing, including thermal vacuum testing, vibration testing, and electromagnetic interference (EMI)/electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) testing.
Analyze and report on environmental test results to ensure RF systems meet specified requirements.
Collaborate with RF system architects and design engineers to perform system analysis and simulations for performance optimization.
Work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and system engineers, to integrate RF systems into spacecraft successfully.
Hands-on experience with space hardware and spaceflight antennas, with a strong understanding of design intent.
Proficiency in test engineering, including test design, validation, execution, and troubleshooting.
Experience with tests such as EMI/EMC, GNC GPS testing, and TTNC (tracking telemetry and control).
Knowledge of relevant software for testing and analysis.
Familiarity with electrical check-out procedures and environments, though emphasis lies more on rigorous testing rather than environmental testing.
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field. Master’s degree preferred.
Minimum of 5 years of experience in RF subsystem testing and integration.
Proven experience in RF system integration, simulation, and performance analysis.
Experience in payload RF systems, transceiver, and amplifier design.
Proven experience with RF testing tools (VNA, Spectrum Analyzer, RF chamber)
Knowledge in EMI/EMC characterization is a real plus for this position
Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
Experience in Signal Processing algorithms
