RF & Microwave Design Engineer for Defense & UAV Systems

At Microphase Corporation, we don’t build apps — we build the RF hardware that powers advanced defense and communications systems. For decades, Microphase has designed and manufactured high-performance RF and microwave filters and multiplexers used in radar, electronic warfare, and other critical defense platforms. Our engineering heritage traces back to the earliest days of advanced RF technology, including work supporting space and defense programs dating back to the Apollo era. As we look ahead, we are expanding our capabilities into Active RF and Digital Application Solutions supporting next-generation defense systems, drone technologies, and advanced electronic platforms. We are seeking an experienced RF / Microwave Electrical Engineer who can support our existing designs while also helping drive the next generation of Microphase technology. If you enjoy solving difficult RF problems and seeing your designs actually built and tested — not just simulated — you will likely enjoy working here. Engineers with experience supporting radar, electronic warfare, or defense RF systems at major aerospace and defense contractors will find their experience highly relevant here.
