Responsibilities
- RF Design and install, and test RF/SATCOM hardware (C‑, X‑, Ku‑, Ka‑, Q/V‑band) while accounting for atmospheric attenuation, ionospheric scintillation, rain‑fade, and polarization‑mismatch effects.
- Conduct site surveys, climb antennas, rack and align hardware, and operate earth‑terminal control consoles to establish and maintain wide‑band and satellite communication links.
- Perform preventive, scheduled, and corrective maintenance; troubleshoot on‑the‑spot malfunctions; apply anti‑jamming techniques and enforce safety/maintenance procedures.
- Produce AutoCAD/Visio drawings, block diagrams, schematics, and technical design packages.
- Prepare engineering plans, as‑built documentation, test reports, and maintenance records; coordinate with cross‑functional teams (system architects, PMs, test sites).
- Travel up‑to15% worldwide to support installations, testing, and maintenance in remote or austere environments.
- Hands‑on proficiency with Keysight PNA‑X, FieldFox, Spec‑A, RF signal generators, spectrum/network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and BER testers.
- Experience developing preventive‑maintenance schedules, conducting equipment inspections, and authoring safety‑rule documentation.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; capable of producing technical reports, engineering plans, and briefing packages for multi‑service audiences.
- Proven problem‑solving record: troubleshooting complex RF hardware, analyzing data printouts, implementing corrective actions that improve performance and maintainability.
- Leadership/mentoring ability: lead inspection teams, supervise maintenance activities, and train site personnel.
- Ability to carry equipment, climb antennas, and rack hardware.
- Knowledgeable of RF design, installation, and test, with a focus on SATCOM systems.
Three (3) years experience as a HDE in integrated circuit or microelectronic component design or reverse engineering of the same is required.
