I’m looking to connect with experienced Electrical/RF Engineers with a strong background in phased array antennas, RF electronics, and space hardware for a technical leadership opportunity in Westminster, Colorado.

This is a hands-on Unit Lead / Responsible Engineer position focused on Ka-band Active Electronically Steered Arrays (AESAs) for advanced spaceborne payloads.

You’ll take technical ownership of a complete phased array product — leading it from architecture and design through integration, qualification, production, and flight readiness .

️ What you’ll be responsible for:

- Leading end-to-end development of Ka-band AESA / phased array systems

- Technical ownership across architecture, design, prototyping, integration and test

- Coordinating multidisciplinary teams across RF, digital, power, mechanical, thermal, software and systems engineering

- Antenna and board-level RF electronics development

- Array control, power conversion and supporting digital electronics

- Active antenna testing, including EIRP and G/T measurements

- Leading environmental qualification including TVAC, vibration, shock and EMC

- Requirements, ICDs, verification plans, risk management and design reviews

- Root cause analysis, anomaly resolution and technical risk mitigation

- Transitioning flight hardware into scalable production

- Communicating technical decisions, risks and progress to customers and leadership

What we’re looking for:

- 8+ years of electronics hardware engineering experience

- BS or higher in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline

- Hands-on experience with active phased array antennas

- Strong expertise in antennas and board-level RF electronics

- Experience testing active antennas and measuring EIRP / G/T

- Understanding of digital/power support circuitry and DFM

- Experience leading or mentoring multidisciplinary engineering teams

- Strong systems engineering, requirements and V&V knowledge
