What are the responsibilities and job description for the Radio Frequency and Directed Energy Engineer Job at Physical Sciences Inc in And position at Physical Sciences Inc?
Radio Frequency and Directed Energy Engineer
Physical Science’s High-Power Microwaves (HPM) group seeks an experienced radiofrequency (RF) engineer to conduct both R&D and product development of innovative directed energy technologies, including : high-power broadband antennas, HPM source development, lightweight transmission line circuits, novel dielectric materials, metamaterials, pulsed-power systems, and low-SWAP counter-electronic directed energy systems. Our team is cross-disciplinary and focused on combining RF expertise with cutting edge thermal, material, and manufacturing techniques to generate innovative solutions to complex microwave system problems. The new candidate will assist the team in deploying HPM directed energy systems for both counter unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) and vehicle / vessel engine stopping missions.
PSI currently seeks an individual with strong educational and professional experience in RF system engineering, manufacturing, and testing. A solid understanding of theoretical concepts and first principles is a must, as well as the ability to work independently. The ideal candidate will be multi-disciplinary, with strong abilities in systems engineering. This individual will be expected to interact across all engineering disciplines (RF, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, etc.) and develop technology at all stages of development (early stage research TRL 5-10 late stage development).
Duties :
- Design, rapid prototype, build, troubleshoot, and maintain RF test stands to measure RF power, frequency, phase and coupling.
- Design and simulate novel antenna and transmission line architectures.
- Support mechanical engineers with design-for-manufacture of antennas, transmission lines, and RF source concepts.
- Assist system engineers and business development team members with proposal writing by generating new directed energy system concepts.
- Assist electrical engineers with integration of pulsed-power and system control electronics into HPM directed energy systems.
- Conduct anechoic chamber and free-space tests of both antennas and full HPM directed energy systems.
