- Develop and maintain RF performance budgets covering noise, phase noise, harmonics, leakage, compression, spurious signals, and overall system performance.
- Lead hardware bring-up, debugging, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and performance optimization activities.
- Utilize electromagnetic and circuit simulation tools to guide design decisions and correlate simulation results with measured data.
- Develop automation scripts and tools for instrument control, calibration, testing, data acquisition, and technical reporting.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams across electrical, software, embedded, optical, mechanical, manufacturing, and systems engineering disciplines.
- Support product verification, documentation, design reviews, risk assessments, and transition to production environments.
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Electromagnetics, or a related technical discipline.
- 5+ years of experience in RF, microwave, electromagnetics, antenna systems, advanced sensing technology, or related hardware development.
- Proven experience designing, integrating, testing, and troubleshooting RF or microwave systems.
- Strong hands-on laboratory experience with:
- Vector Network Analyzers (VNA)

- Experience developing RF test methods, calibration strategies, acceptance criteria, and performance validation plans.
- Proficiency with RF and EM simulation tools such as HFSS, CST, ADS, AWR, COMSOL, FEKO, or similar.
- Experience using Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or equivalent tools for automation and data analysis.
- Strong technical communication skills and ability to work independently within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
- Experience with advanced sensing, scientific instrumentation, aerospace, defense, or high-performance hardware systems.
- Knowledge of calibrated RF measurements, field mapping, anechoic environments, TEM/GTEM cells, or radiated testing.
- Experience designing antennas, resonators, couplers, shielding structures, RF fixtures, and specialized electromagnetic hardware.
- Familiarity with low-phase-noise oscillators, synthesizers, mixers, frequency-conversion architectures, and precision analog signal chains.
- Experience with RF PCB design, controlled-impedance layouts, EMI mitigation, and signal integrity best practices.
- Exposure to software-defined radio (SDR), RFSoC platforms, DSP, or mixed hardware/software receiver architectures.
- Experience transitioning complex RF products from R&D into manufacturing and production environments.
- Prior experience supporting regulated, aerospace, defense, or government-funded engineering programs is highly desirable.
- Active or previous security clearance is a plus.
- Onsite position in the Louisville, Colorado area.
- Up to 10% travel as required.
- Work on highly innovative sensing technologies with real-world applications.
- Collaborate with leading engineers, physicists, and product development teams.
