QuadSAT ApS - Lead RF Engineer
DESCRIPTION
We are searching for and experienced RF engineer to lead our development effort within RF domain and join our team in our mission to develop autonomous airborne test and measurement solution that enables precise diagnostics and monitoring of radio spectrum anywhere in the world.
In this role you will lead the RF technical development of our new drone payloads, whilst also contributing to the overall product architecture. The small weight and versatility of the desired solution brings in a lot of exciting design challenges. To solve them, we expect you to bring deep knowledge of designing RF systems as well as an open mind for exploring new technologies and ways to integrate them in the overall solution.
RESPONSIBILITIES
The main responsibility for the role is to lead and oversee development of the RF technology. This includes:
- Leading the architecture design, testing, qualification, and development of the radio subsystem in the drone payload, both on a component and circuitry level.
- Evaluating RF design options (SDRs, passive RF components, antennas, etc.) across a broad frequency range from VHF to EHF.
- Working with the SW and HW teams to benchmark and make trade-off analysis on designs and software applications.
- Prepare and/or review technology roadmaps, design documents, economic design trade-offs.
- Proactively identify high risk aspects in the product design timeline and define efficient mitigation processes early in the design phase.
- Designing and benchmarking early prototypes.
- Help identifying the correct resources for getting the job done in terms of components, new hires, consultants, etc.
TRAVEL DEMANDS
- Expected 20-30 days of travel per year.
