About The Role

We are seeking a highly skilled RF / Systems Engineer to join our advanced R&D team.

In this role, you will contribute to the development of next-generation RF communication and signal intelligence systems, combining classical and quantum photonics to enable new mission-critical capabilities.

This is a hands-on, innovation-driven position at the forefront of quantum and defense technology.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop advanced RF systems leveraging photonics and quantum technologies
• Collaborate with physicists and engineers to create mission-critical tactical systems
• Evaluate RF components through lab testing (e.g., LNAs, filters, couplers, mixers)
• Perform board-level and system-level testing and validation
• Design and simulate:
• Antennas
• Microwave circuits
• Photonic structures
• Integrate custom components into larger defense systems
• Conduct system integration and performance validation
• Maintain technical documentation throughout the design lifecycle
• Work cross-functionally with hardware, mechanical, and quantum teams

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in:
• Physics, Engineering Physics, RF Engineering, or Electrical Engineering
• Strong knowledge of:
• RF systems, antennas, and microwave/photonic circuits
• Experience with EM simulation tools such as:
• HFSS, CST, FEKO, AWG Microwave Office
• Deep understanding of simulation methods:
• MoM, FDTD, FEM
• Hands-on lab experience with:
• Oscilloscopes, VNAs, Spectrum Analyzers, DMMs
• Experience with:
• PCB design (signal integrity, impedance matching, EMI/EMC)
• RF components (amplifiers, couplers, waveguides, mixers)
• Strong background in:
• Analog, digital, and power electronics
• RF communications, modulation, and protocols
• Programming experience in: C, C++, MATLAB/Octave, or Python
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs (occasionally)
• Active DoD Security Clearance or ability to obtain one
