Epirus designs and builds cutting-edge, high-powered microwave (HPM) systems that have the ability to transform industries. With a successful foothold in the defense industry, where we invented directed energy weapon systems that surpass current capabilities, we’re creating new possibilities for intelligently-driven power products in commercial markets.
Job objective: Epirus designs and manufactures novel RF systems, in a variety of form factors, in a rapid development environment. The Antenna Engineer role focuses on design, simulation, production, integration, and test of antenna and radome components. Antenna sub-systems are often phased arrays, so particular experience in phased array development and test is preferred. Radomes must be designed for a variety of antenna subsystem form factors, combining electrical and mechanical engineering with a focus on low loss, structural integrity, manufacturability, and high-quality finish.
- Design and simulate antenna elements and antenna arrays
- Design and simulate radome materials and structure
- Coordinate manufacturing of antenna subsystem components, including radomes, mechanical mounts and test fixtures
- Develop and conduct antenna tests to validate simulation
- Perform antenna calibration and bore sighting
Required Qualifications:
- BS degree in any of the following disciplines; Systems, Aerospace, Electrical, or related disciplines
- 5+ years industry experience, including antenna and/or radome design and test
- Experience with HFSS and/or other similar EM simulation tools
- Experience with SolidWorks and/or other CAD tools
- US Citizen (future security clearance may be required)
Desired Qualifications:
- Experienced in 3D modeling of mechanical mounts / fixtures for antennae and / or radome (Solidworks preferred)
- Good written and oral communication skills; not afraid to speak up, either to ask for help or disagree on a technical point that warrants more discussion
- Collaborative; capable of working across all levels of the organization
- Eager to learn and to help others on the team
- Organized; comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
- Focused, with perspective on what matters most, rapidly delivering customer value
- Experience with phased arrays
- Knowledgeable in RF properties of materials, as it pertains to radome
Epirus was the magical bow with infinite arrows wielded by the Greek hero Theseus. Like our namesake, we strive to be fast, efficient, and limitless in our approach. This agility, combined with a culture of innovation in systems development, allows us to move quickly without losing the decades of lessons learned.
We have developed technologies that leverage new breakthroughs in sensors and high-power microwaves, combined with computer vision and advanced software control. Our first broad-market application is a comprehensive defense system to defeat offensive drones at scale.
