Antenna Design Engineer at Array Labs

At Array Labs, we are building a constellation of formation-flying radar satellites. This technology allows for high-resolution, wide-area imaging and instant 3D data capture, which will eventually power a real-time, 3D model of the entire Earth. Our work directly supports breakthroughs in climate science, defense, disaster response, and autonomy. We are a mission-driven, highly technical team, and we are looking for someone who is excited to help us reshape how humanity understands our planet.

What is this role?

We are looking for a mid-level Antenna Design Engineer to join our team on a full-time, on-site basis in the United States. In this role, you will be responsible for the design, simulation, and validation of advanced antenna systems for both ground-based and on-orbit platforms. You will serve as a bridge between electromagnetic theory and flight-ready hardware, ensuring our communications and radar systems meet the rigorous demands of space-based missions.

What will you do?

• Design, simulate, and optimize various antenna types, such as microstrip arrays, patch antennas, and phase arrays.
• Collaborate with our mechanical, firmware, systems, and RF engineering teams to ensure our antennas meet all performance, packaging, and reliability constraints.
• Perform full electromagnetic simulations and lead the prototyping and testing of antenna systems in both field and lab environments, including anechoic chamber and range testing.

What makes you a great fit?

To be successful in this role, you should have a solid foundation in RF systems and a passion for iterative design. We require the following qualifications:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Physics, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 3 years of research or industry experience in RF systems or antenna engineering.
• Proficiency with simulation and design tools such as ADS, CST, HFSS, and MATLAB.
• Strong knowledge of RF system design, impedance matching, and transmission line theory.
• Hands-on experience with lab equipment like spectrum analyzers, signal generators, and vector network analyzers.
• Excellent communication skills and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment.
• You must be a US citizen or a permanent resident to comply with ITAR regulations.

We also value candidates who possess a Master’s or Ph.D. in a relevant discipline, as well as those with experience in aerospace applications, phased array design, or beamforming networks.

What's in it for you?

Joining Array Labs means becoming part of a deeply collaborative team solving some of the most challenging sensing problems in the world. Our interview process typically spans 2 to 4 weeks and includes both Zoom and on-site technical discussions. We are an equal opportunity employer and make all employment decisions based on merit, competence, and qualifications.
