Anechoic Chamber Antenna Test Engineer

RF Engineer

This RF engineer should hold a Bachelors degree and have Antenna Testing experience within an Anechoic chamber. Antenna test background within a non-automotive industry is acceptable. The select candidates duties will include the testing and evaluation of automotive antennas and related RF components such as Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA's), as well as assisting the Antenna design team with product development.

Were looking for an antenna engineer with a track record of operating and testing in anechoic chambers, as well as performing lab and field testing of antennas and related products (such as amplifiers) as well as Tune Antennas for automotive applications in infotainment, telematics, and related communications protocols. Maintaining and upgrading the software used to operate the test equipment. Fabricate test fixtures and other equipment as needed, with the assistance of other team members

You will assist the on-site engineering team with all aspects of customer technical support

Review customer technical specifications, design guidelines and related documents, and develop test routines to meet them

Cooperate with other design engineers on-site and in other worldwide locations, in ensuring that our designs meet all customer requirements for performance, reliability, safety, and cost

Meet with customers and provide technical support as needed

Qualifications:

EDUCATION:

A BSEE is required.

Years of Experience:

We are willing to hire an entry level antenna engineer who has an academic concentration in Antennas and significant exposure to Antenna Testing within an anechoic chamber.

Our preference is to have 1-5 years of industry experience in antenna design, though an advanced degree in electromagnetics is preferred. Candidates with degrees in other engineering disciplines will be considered, if coupled with relevant experience in automotive RF if also acceptable.

The ideal candidate comes from a commercial work environment and should be capable in the following areas:

Experience in antenna technologies and applications specific to the automotive industry, or any commercial industry which produces small non-defense oriented antennas.
