Designs and develops mechanical systems for phased-array satellite antennas, payloads, subsystems, and interfaces from concept through in-orbit support. Responsibilities include architecture trade studies, CAD and FEA, thermal and structural analysis, manufacturing, testing, qualification, mechanisms and actuators, environmental testing, and customer design reviews. The role also supports proposals and requires expertise in spacecraft environments, aerospace materials, electronics packaging, EMI/EMC mitigation, and reliable deployment systems.

Develop and architect space-based communication systems, including phased arrays, payloads, subsystems, and hardware/software interfaces. Define, decompose, and trace requirements; support verification planning and testing; perform risk analysis; and develop mitigation strategies. Coordinate multidisciplinary engineering teams, vendors, and component developers while resolving program-level issues, tracking milestones, and driving complex aerospace communication programs toward successful delivery.

Develops space-based communication system architectures, payloads, requirements, interfaces, risk mitigations, and technical baselines. Coordinates multidisciplinary engineering, program management, manufacturing, vendors, and customers to deliver complex aerospace communication programs. Responsibilities include requirements traceability, system integration, technical issue resolution, scheduling support, and continuous process improvement.

Designs and analyzes board-level RF electronics and phased-array communication systems from concept through in-orbit support. Responsibilities include schematics, PCB layout, simulations, component selection, manufacturing, testing, qualification, troubleshooting, and reliability analysis. The engineer presents design reviews, supports proposals, and works on RF front ends, frequency converters, synthesizers, filters, beamformers, power dividers, and antennas for aerospace and satellite products.

Provides advanced SolidWorks CAD design and drafting support across the product lifecycle. Creates and maintains 3D models, assemblies, engineering drawings, BOMs, and technical documentation while managing PDM data, configuration control, and engineering changes. Reviews designs for accuracy, manufacturability, and compliance with GD&T and engineering standards. Collaborates with engineering, manufacturing, quality, and program teams, supports corrective actions and process improvements, and mentors junior designers.

Design, build, test, and troubleshoot flight engine electronics, circuit boards, avionics integration, sensors, and instrumentation. Lead wiring harnesses and avionics mounting, create schematics and drawings, execute test programs, analyze data, and collaborate with mechanical, aerospace, and controls teams to deliver flight-ready hardware.

Lead design and analysis of launch vehicle structures, interfaces, and payload accommodations. Perform structural and thermal FEA and transient analysis, develop and execute test programs, generate CAD models and technical documentation, collaborate with multidisciplinary teams, mentor engineers, and support mission operations and anomaly investigations.

Lead end-to-end design of board-level power converters and power management for space/airborne systems: architecture, schematic and PCB design, modeling, simulation, testing, qualification, production transition, and mentoring junior engineers.

Lead end-to-end architecture of space and airborne ISR RF payloads (radar and RF sensing). Define antenna, RF front-end, digitization, beamforming, and system trade-offs. Drive concept development, support proposals, mentor engineers, and integrate architectures into mission requirements and product roadmaps.

Design and develop spacecraft power electronics across the full lifecycle: architecture, DC-DC converter design, simulation, PCB layout, verification, integration testing, and manufacturing support.
