 * Proficient knowledge of RF concepts which as aperture antennas, impedance matching, smith
chart, etc.

 * Proficient in antenna prototyping tools and techniques
 * Experience with antenna modeling and prediction tools, such as Computational
Electromagnetic (CEM) tools, HFSS, CST Microwave Studio, SENTRi, ADS, FEKO

 * Proficient in building RF analytical tools in MATLAB, C++, Python
 * Proficient in antenna measurement techniques such as anechoic chamber, near field/far field RF
measurements, RCS measurements

 * BS or higher degree in STEM discipline
 * Must possess and be able to maintain an active U.S. Top Secret security clearance
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

 * Experience with designing LO apertures
 * Experience in phased array designs, RF front-ends, and testing
 * Hands-on maintenance experience with Low Observable aircraft
 * Ability to work in a fast paced, autonomously driven, and demanding environment

## Description

The Air Dominance and Strike Low Observable Team are advancing into the next generation of LO Technology to enhance the survivability and effectiveness of unmanned air systems. Our Low Observables engineering team is responsible for designing, analyzing, testing, and sustaining stealth features that reduce radar (RCS) and infrared (IR) signatures , ensuring our systems remain undetectable in contested environments.
WHAT YOU'LL DO

 * Assist in the design and development of antennas that go on low observable unmanned air
vehicles

 * Design, simulate, and optimize antennas that meet RF performance while maintaining RADAR
cross section requirements

 * Develop and decompose requirements by performing link-budget analysis to support RF system
architecture trades such as required antenna gain, pattern coverage, co-site interference, etc.

 * Lead IR&D development of antenna designs by rapid design and prototyping of antennas to
support program emerging needs

 * Work with subcontractors and/or internal development teams to integrate antenna systems
onto un-manned platforms

 * Develop analysis tools, workflows, and validation processes for antenna predictions
 * Plan and execute antenna performance and RCS testing of Low Observable antennas
components and installed antenna testing, To ensure your safety and help you navigate your job search with confidence, please keep the following critical points in mind:

 * No Financial Requests: Anduril will never solicit payment or demand personal financial details (such as banking information, credit card numbers, or social security numbers) at any stage of our hiring process. Our legitimate recruitment is entirely free for candidates.
