Antenna Engineer

ALL.SPACE

Reading, United Kingdom

Job Overview:

The Antenna Engineer will be responsible for supporting the design, electromagnetic (EM) simulations, analysis, and testing of dielectric lenses, feed antennas, phased arrays, and radomes. This position requires a strong foundation in antenna design, simulation, and testing, and the ability to work closely with senior engineers and cross-functional teams to develop innovative antenna solutions for satellite systems.

Key Responsibilities:

Antenna Design & Analysis: Assist in the design and analysis of feed antennas, dielectric lenses, phased arrays, transmit/reflectarrays, and radomes for satellite communications.
EM Simulation & Optimization: Perform electromagnetic simulations using tools like HFSS, CST, or FEKO. Support optimization tasks using multi-objective stochastic optimizers.
Prototype Development & Testing: Assist in the development of antenna prototypes, guide testing, and support performance validation based on simulation and real-world measurements.
Simulation & Measurement Analysis: Analyze simulation results and experimental data using Matlab, Python, or other similar tools.
Collaboration: Work closely with hardware, systems, and RF engineers to integrate antenna designs into larger communication systems.
Documentation & Reporting: Prepare reports and presentations on designs, simulations, measurements, and performance.

Requirements:

Experience: 3+ years of experience in antenna design, modeling, and analysis, with a focus on:
Feed antennas, dielectric lenses, and antenna arrays (e.g., phased arrays, transmitarrays, reflectarrays).
Radome design and optimization.
EM Simulation Expertise: Proficiency in using 3D full-wave simulation software such as HFSS, CST, FEKO, or similar.
Programming Skills: Strong experience with Matlab, Python, or similar programming/scripting languages for data analysis and simulation.
RF Testing Knowledge: Familiarity with RF measurement equipment such as signal generators, spectrum analyzers, and network analyzers.
Operating Systems: Comfortable working in a Linux environment.

Desired Skills & Abilities:

Transformation Optics: Knowledge of transformation optics and electromagnetic design techniques.
Optimization Algorithms: Familiarity with multi-objective stochastic optimizers for antenna design.
Optical Design: Exposure to optical lens design and gradient index (GRIN) optics.
Automated Testing: Experience with automating RF and electronic testing processes through scripting.
Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills for collaborating effectively within a team.
