⚡ RF Systems Engineer | Phased Arrays | Radar & SATCOM
Want to own the RF architecture behind next-generation radar and satellite systems?
I’m working with an early-stage semiconductor startup in Boston building advanced 3D integrated RF hardware for defense radar and low-Earth-orbit satellite communications.
They’re hiring their first RF Systems Engineer to own the system-level architecture - turning customer requirements into the specs that RFIC/MMIC, EM and analog engineers design to.
You’ll work across:
→ Phased arrays, beamformers and transceiver chains
→ Link budgets, noise, linearity, EIRP and dynamic range
→ Radar and SATCOM front-end architecture
→ System-level hardware validation and OTA testing
What they’re looking for:
→ M.S. + 5+ years or Ph.D. + 2+ years in RF/mmWave systems engineering
→ Experience with radar, satellite communications or wireless front ends
→ Hands-on experience with phased arrays, beamforming, link budgets or RF system testing
→ System simulation experience with tools such as ADS, SystemVue or MATLAB
📍 Boston, MA | Onsite
💰 $125K–$180K base + equity
If your background sits at the intersection of RF systems, phased arrays and hands-on hardware, I’d love to hear from you.
