Radio Frequency Engineer

RF Engineer

The Company

Established in over a decade ago and founded and funded by Veterans and Patriots, our client has developed airborne ISR terminals specifically for the U.S. warfighter—capabilities previously unavailable. Their antennas allow users, while in flight, to select the frequency band and target satellite needed to support the mission in real time. Proudly built in the USA.

They are looking for RF Electrical Engineers to support their products with their current clients as well as the expansion into new clients. They will have skills in designing, developing and maintaining wireless communication systems. This role involves working with technologies such as antennas, modems, power amplifiers and other modules used in wireless communication.
