Job Overview
We are building next-generation technology to protect and enable resilient satellite systems operating in the most demanding space environments. We are seeking an RF Electrical Engineer who wants to help design, prototype, and deliver real flight hardware that advances space survivability and mission assurance.
This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys working close to hardware, solving complex electromagnetic challenges, and contributing across the full development lifecycle, from early concepts through integration and testing.


Responsibilities
• Perform radio frequency analysis, including link budgets, modeling, simulation, and
performance validation
• Support rapid prototyping, integration, and test of RF hardware
• Participate in trade studies, component selection, and technical decision-making
• Support troubleshooting, test campaigns, and anomaly resolution
• Contribute to requirements definition, technical documentation, and design
reviews
• Take ownership of radio frequency hardware from concept through test and
iteration

Basic Qualifications
• 7+ years of electrical engineering experience
• Strong radio frequency fundamentals (antennas, propagation, modulation, link
analysis)
• Radio Frequency PCB design experience
• Experience with radio frequency simulation and analysis tools (HFSS, ADS,
MATLAB, STK, or similar)
• Working in a lab or hardware development environment
• Resides within a reasonably commutable distance to Albuquerque, NM

Preferred Qualifications
• PE License
• Designing and developing radio frequency subsystems supporting satellite
communications, sensing, and survivability capabilities
• Hands-on development of satellite hardware
• Spaceflight, defense space, or survivability programs support
• Satellite communications, radio frequency payloads, or electromagnetic effects
• Satellite design, satellite component design, and space flight
• Familiarity with spacecraft integration and on-orbit test

Education
• Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering or related field (experience level could
compensate)
• Graduate degree in a related field and/or program management experience
(preferred)

Clearance
• Active clearance (preferred)
• Ability to obtain and submit a full background investigation (required)
