You'll own key hardware blocks end-to-end from architecture and prototyping, to validation. You will work alongside antenna, systems, and software engineers to build antennas that have to work flawlessly once they reach orbit. Export Control Requirement Due to applicable export control laws and regulations, candidates must be a U.S. citizen or national, U.S. permanent resident (i.e., current Green Card holder), or lawfully admitted into the U.S. as a refugee or granted asylum. Key job responsibilities - Architect and design key blocks within next-generation phased array antenna systems - Partner with RF engineers to develop the RF circuitry and signal chains that drive our phased arrays - Build and test proof-of-concept prototypes to validate new antenna architectures before committing to production designs - Review PCB layout to ensure designs are both high-performing and manufacturable at scale - Use Linux-based tools to command and operate the phased array during bring-up, integration, and test - Define test strategies for new designs, working with test engineering to translate design intent into bring-up plans and validation criteria - Verify designs meet performance targets, then iterate based on results - Collaborate with RF, software, and systems engineers to integrate new hardware into the broader antenna system - Partner with supply chain and production teams to prepare new designs for high-volume manufacturing - Drive design trade-offs across performance, cost, schedule, and manufacturability ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Leveraging Large Language Models for Legacy Code Translation: Challenges and Solutions](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1157-leveraging-large-language-models-for-legacy-code-translation-challenges-and-solutions) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [What If We Designed Employee Experience Like a Customer Journey?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1824-what-if-we-designed-employee-experience-like-a-customer-journey) - [Building a hypercar from scratch](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/607-building-a-hypercar-from-scratch) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [How to Write a CV and Interview if You Don't Fully Qualify For The Job](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/183-how-to-write-a-cv-and-interview-if-you-don-t-fully-qualify-for-the-job) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges) - [9 Ways to Make Money Hacking](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/333-9-ways-to-make-money-hacking) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [How to land a developer job in Amsterdam](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/36-how-to-land-a-developer-job-in-amsterdam)
